Special Announcement–Vida Joven 5K Fun Run
Nicaragua Base News
Adventures in Missions
April, 2009
Granada welcomed Vida Joven, or Nicaragua’s Young Life, in September of last year. The pro-
gram has been wildly successful, demonstrating that young people here are hungry for whole-
some alternatives to drugs, alcohol and life on the streets. El Puente is bursting with kids
each Thursday night, and we’ve expanded the program with additional offerings throughout the week.
However, financing the program is not easy. Joe, a member of our Awakening team, suggested we put
on a 5K Fun Run in Granada to spread the word and raise support. The city has given its blessing, and
we are scheduled to go on April 25th.
As the first event of this sort for all of us, we are looking for ways to make this a success for
the kids. AIM has opened a dedicated account in which sponsorship funds may be collected. If you
would like to sponsor young people in this race, we’d like to make this account available to you as well.
If you’d like to help, we suggest the following sponsorship levels:
Single Sponsorship: $5
Triple Sponsorship: $15
Quintuplets: $25
Ten Youngsters: $50
Of course, you could give more or less, as your budget allows.
All funds collected will go directly to the Granada Vida Joven Club. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your consideration, and for helping these kids step out in
faith.
