Bible Run–Southern Style

Joyce and I were part of the group that ran the Bible around the Northern end of the island. The other Bible Run group handled the Southern end of the island. They actually 38 of the 74 miles around the perimeter of the island. One runner (right), in training for a triathlon, ran the whole 38 miles of the Southern route. Hartmut Scherer took all the pictures for this post #3 of the Bible Run including the group picture (left) of everyone who was at the final ceremony at Ypao Beach.

 

Joyce and Mike Ihpa get final instructions from Bible Run Coordinator, Greg Calvo, as the two groups prepare to head in opposite directions from Talofofo Bay to get the Bible Run started

I gave some words of encouragement and then Pastor Arnold opened in prayer

And they were off!

The lead and follow cars got each group ready

The PIU Southern team provided some extra runners and all the groups made sure that each mile was covered with prayer.

They ran past some beautiful spots including the bridge in Umatac and the Agat Boat Harbor

The PIU kids and Mo got in their mile

Several Southern churches participated

The PIU team kept things moving

Life in the Son and Agana Heights Baptist brought the Bible in to Agana on Marine Drive

Then into Tamuning and toward Tumon to meet up at Ypao
