Packed And Ready For Sierra Leone

ByTim Nolte May 11, 2018May 11, 2018

On Sunday our team met and got all the supplies packed up for our trip. This week we have all been making final preparations for the trip. I’m planning on posting regular updates to my blog which you can also subscribe to as well.

Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
Isaiah 6:8 NLT

ByTim Nolte December 23, 2019
During this season of celebrating Christ’s birth we can celebrate 15 new wells that will be going in this coming year. There’s more work to be done, so consider a year-end gift to clean water. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Give the blessing of clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

Day 3 complete, and keeping up a consistent pace with the other days. Great time of prayer while listening for God’s promptings as I hit time and distance marks. #hwi #sierraleone #cleanwater

Back To Saturday Running With My Partner
ByTim Nolte November 3, 2018November 3, 2018
We were supposed to have a slow easy run this morning but our conversation got the better of us and we kind of lost track of our pace. Felt good to be back out with my running partner doing a long Saturday run. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #SaturdayGroupRun Donate to Clean Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

It’s All About The Children
ByTim Nolte May 15, 2018May 15, 2018
We began day 3 at the World Hope offices of course. As we’ve hung out at the offices, and been driven to villages, we’ve had the opportunity to get to know many of the nationals that work for World Hope. It’s been a blessing to have people that are willing to be patient with us as we’ve tried to learn about the culture and learn to better communicate. We left the World Hope offices for a quick stop at the village of Bomballi Bana, where World Hope has been working since 2010. They worked with a church partner to assist with the development of the schools, church, and of course putting in a well. It was so awesome to see how well the students were…

Reflecting On How Far I’ve Come
ByTim Nolte April 2, 2019
When I look back to 2016 at this time I’m pretty amazed at how far I’ve come. At that time I was lucky to probably have gone 1 mile in around 30 minutes, and that was probably mostly walking. Comparing that to my run today I can honestly say that God used running to make a huge change in my life as well as the people of Sierra Leone, Africa. God has blessed me in my running. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun

Hitting The Training Run Hard
ByTim Nolte January 16, 2020
Today was a short assessment training run, basically 12 minutes of giving it all you’ve got. It’s preceded by, and follows, a 5 minute warmup & cool down run respectively. I did an out-and-back while giving myself some distance for a final cool down walk to home. We’ll see what this means for my final target pace for the Groundhog Marathon. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus I’m looking forward to representing Hope Water at the Groundhog Marathon again. My hope is to keep on target with the pace my training plan estimated and to complete it without having to walk. However, I’ve also considered intentionally doing walk/run intervals to ensure that overall I finish with a good time. We’ll see where I land. Give water, give…
