We are excited to announce to the Susquehanna Conference that in April-May 2018 we will hold a conference-wide Bishop’s Partners in Mission fundraiser in the form of a Walk-a-Thon/Run-a-Thon. Bishop Jeremiah Park and all seven district superintendents will be involved in this effort, which will be the first-ever such event held since BPIM was launched to save lives and restore hope via funds raised for Imagine No Malaria and to reduce the debt burden of Mission Central.
Each district will form an organizing team during the months of December and January. Details about the Walk-a-Thon/Run-a-Thon, including sponsorship forms, will be on the BPIM Web page (http://Tinyurl.com/BishopsPIM) on the conference website. Flyers and posters are available on the web page as well as the BPIM Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/BishopsPIM).
Dates for the district events are:
- April 7, 2018: Altoona
- April 15, 2018: York
- April 29, 2018: State College
- May 5, 2018: Lewisburg
- May 6, 2018: Williamsport
- May 12, 2018: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
- May 19, 2018: Harrisburg
We are calling people of all ages to participate in this activity by either being a walker/runner or by being a sponsor. Please download a sponsorship form from the Web page and tell your friends about it. More information will be coming soon. Let’s make every step count in our campaign to eliminate malaria and enable Mission Central to be free of its debt so that it can do what it does best: provide God’s resources for human need.
