[Event] Run for the Nation 2012

Run for the Nation, RunNat, is a event organized by a group of christian runners who are inspired by God with this vision of praying for the Nation. It was initiated in Malaysia in 2007 and the Lord spread the vision to Australia, Singapore and Cambodia... and so we have this event birth in Singapore 2011.

Similar to prayer walk; each group of runners will be covering 5km route, praying for their neighbourhood while they run. The relay started from various direction of Singapore (North, East, Northeast and West), covering 40km each directions and finally meets at St. Andrew Cathedral.

As we run, we pray for the needs of our fellow Singaporeans and believing that all prayers are being heard and trusting God that He will truly bless Singapore.

I could run, many could pray but how often runners pray as they run? I confess I don't do that often too. It is so tiring! It is tough Pray-running as every grasp of breath you take, you say a prayer for the surrounding. But with our simple faith and effort, we believe God see all our sacrifices blessing those that are around us. This brings a different purpose to running (I personally feels).



First Northeast Group started the run at 5am, 6th Oct 2012

Passing the "baton' prayer card to the 2nd team

Some are not physically fit for 5km but they did it!

Some has smaller group,
but God say, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” - Matt 18:20

We continue to pray as we run

We pray for the heartlands

We pray for the city

Praying for every parts of Singapore, running with faith

 

Believing that we will eventually see Lord's Glory in Singapore.



And by the grace of God, the event came as a success! Not by the number of participants, but by having God's presence dwelling among each runners throughout the run and seeing Christians from different churches in Singapore coming together to run and pray for Singapore.
