It is very appropriate that the Adirondack Marathon happened early on in our year at the BI, because the theme for this year is “Forward.” Watching all of those exhausted runners “press on” in their race reminded all of us of the endurance we need in order to be a Christ-follower. We had the privilege of meeting their physical needs by handing out water and Powerade, and we even helped with their emotional needs by cheering for them as they passed by. Many of the runners later commented that the portion of the race going through the BI campus was their favorite part of the entire marathon! For us as students, it was truly an exciting ministry opportunity and great metaphor for what it means to move forward in our relationship with the Lord! the race forward
