The BIG Race…an Iron Man

Can you imagine? 

Swimming 2.4 miles, followed by 112 miles of biking and then a 26.2 marathon to complete the race.  Absolutely unreal!  However, with Bryan Putnam it is absolutely real.  He has been training for months or you could say his whole life because training over the years builds on itself and he is no beginner to extreme sports.   

He is now, only a couple weeks away from the Iron Man race he is competing in for Embrace Compassion.  He has graciously agreed to share his spotlight with us for the purpose of raising funds for children who have not ever been able to attend school in a remote area of Ethiopia.  This village is where our dear friend Alemayehu is from and the children are his nieces and nephews.  We first met some of these children in December on our family trip.  We were the first white people ever seen by this village. 

Would you please pray for Bryan and his familys health and he finishes strong his final training?  A cold can be terrible at his point in the game.  Please pray for endurance, strenghth of body, soul and spirit.  If you happen to see Bryan, give him an encouraging word and tell him thank you for his dedication and his desire to help children, the least of these, in Ethiopia.

GO BRYAN!!!
