Early Morning Saturday 4 Mile Training Run

Had to get my run done early today since I’ve got a lot of projects to do today. I had to be at the park to hang out with the #HWI team though. #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon

The Return Of The Running Selfie

Donate to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Things felt good this morning, especially with the cooler temperature. I’m hopeful that today’s run is a sign that my Saturday long run will go better this week. No matter whether we have a “bad” day or a good one, just getting out there and putting in some miles shows our commitment to the cause. Ultimately, more wells in Africa is the real goal regardless of how a training run goes. I haven’t seen any donations come in for my $1000 goal yet but I’m hopeful that someone will be inspired and moved to join with me every time I share.

Completed My First Marathon…
ByTim Nolte October 15, 2017October 15, 2017
Today was a pretty big day for me. I completed my first ever marathon. It was a tough day, with the down pouring rain, wind gusts of 20 some miles per hour, and getting cramps in my legs that slowed me down, I ended the race pretty discouraged. Not to mention I ended up having to be taken to the medic tent after crossing the finish line, which was something my running partner and I had talked about not wanting to have happen to us. Let’s just say it was a pretty humbling experience. I’m so thankful for all of the encouragement from the many Hope Water International runners the kept encouraging me on the way to the finish line. I especially appreciate Ron Bussa and Nick…

Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
ByTim Nolte September 2, 2021September 2, 2021
In the past year I have seen so many that claim to be Christians completely miss the mark here. A lot of people need to spend more time in God’s word, reading the New Testament, and discover what it really means to be a #Christian and how to live.

8.5 Miles, It’s About The Purpose Not The Pace
ByTim Nolte February 29, 2020
Will you help make clean water a reality for children in Africa? Give today: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI Having been a runner for about 4 years now I know how easy it can be to get caught up in times, paces, and having a good race. Being a part of Hope Water is about #WhyIRun which ultimately is about having a platform to share about the great need for clean water around the world, and specifically Africa. This morning as I ran I felt like just putting enjoying the run and focusing on my #Run4Water instead of worrying about how fast, or slow, I was going. I still had a distance as my target, and that was really the only thing I was concerned with. I am…

Running, Community, And Living With Purpose
ByTim Nolte June 14, 2017June 14, 2017
I read this story tonight and it got me thinking about the journey I’ve been on but even more the HWI Daybreak community that I’ve been blessed to be apart of. Running has become for me something I couldn’t even have fathomed a little more than a year ago. Running for me is apart of who I am, and the relationships I’m building are a huge part of that as well. I hope that my running and my journey can be a light of Hope in the lives of people I share it with.

Reflecting On My Time In Sierra Leone
ByTim Nolte May 23, 2018May 24, 2018 Updated onMay 24, 2018
The TL;DR is: I am blessed more than I ever understood and I will make every effort to give thanks in all circumstances. Also, where God’s love exists there is always hope for something better. As I continue to process my experience in Sierra Leone Africa I can’t help but feel like I spent a week in another world. What I find simply amazing is that in a place so filled with hardship, and circumstances I can barely begin to comprehend, there are people that still manage to find joy, be generous, and show love and kindness to someone so very much unlike them. I chose this photo of children, not filled with smiles and laughter, but showing that theirs is a life of daily…
