As our mission team heads out to serve, we want to say a very special THANK YOU to our Bun Run sponsors and runners! ❤️🙏

What you may not realize is that the Bun Run is more than just a fun morning of running, walking, and community. The proceeds from the Bun Run help fund our mission trip, making it possible for our team to go and serve others in the name of Christ.

So, in a very real way, you are part of this mission too!

To every business and individual who sponsored the Bun Run, every runner and walker who participated, and everyone who helped make the event a success—thank you. Your support reaches far beyond the finish line.

You ran. You sponsored. You supported. And now, you are helping us serve. ❤️

Thank you for being part of the mission! 🙏

And they’re off to Rio Bravo!❤️🙏

Please keep our Wesley TeamXII in your prayers as they begin their journey to serve, love, and be the hands and feet of Christ.

“Here I am, Lord. Send me!” ❤️
