A new race!!! Operation Pledge Prayer!

As some of you may or may not know I am running the long beach marathon. In a earlier blog I announced that I would be running for a special cause. I was going to announce it as soon as I was to get details. Well truth is Gods will has changed my purpose.

Lately I have come to a realization that I am not a long distance runner. Truth be told, I am finding any runs longer than 4 miles is totally out of my comfort zone. I am NOT a runner I have never been but the desire God has put on my heart is so deep.

Today I am running with a great purpose. It is going to be the driving force in my training and what is going to make me cross the finish line on October 9th! I am asking for your help, I am asking you to pledge, only this time it is not monetary pledges I am asking for. I will be running for a few special people, who are battling, battling cancer which I call the new flu :(.

Im calling it Operation Pledge Prayer!

I am asking for you to pledge prayer. I am talking good ol on your knees prayer. I am asking you to pledge whatever time you have to solely dedicate that time to praying for those that I am running for.

Who I am running for:
Baby Noah Manuel Iglesias ( 3yr old) rare form of cancer ( he is now three but in this house we still refer to him as baby Noah
Elias Gonzales (6 years old) w/ Leukemia
Gracie Aroz- Cancer
Sheyanne- Breast Cancer
Cousin Sarah- Cancer

The Goal:
100 hours of prayer pledges

How to pledge:
It is simple, all you need to do is leave a comment here with the date and time you will pray.
Or you can Facebook me with your pledge at the following: http://www.facebook.com/#!/monipereyra

Simply leave me the following info: Your name, the time and date of your prayer time and how many hours or half hours etc. Please only sign up with what you are able to commit to. Perhaps you are going to do an hour for a day and are breaking it up, I just need to know your how many hours.

Whatever you give will be great, ten minutes, thirty minutes and hour etc.....

I will be periodically updating where we are with hours. My goal is to raise 100 hours at least by October 9th! I hope to share their stories within the next week or so for each person. I know some have a blog or a FB page. The truth is I only know two of them personally but my heart does. These are friends of friends, and at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter... I pray that you would sponsor me. I pray that you would take the time to really pray and if you say that you will, that you do.

Also if you can keep me in prayer as I continue to train so that I can complete my race and do it well!!! Also please share this link with family and friends and help me reach my goal...

Thank you & Love you all!!!

“Pray without ceasing in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
