Hi, I’m Steve!

Thank You for helping Runborn exist for 5 years!

The theme for 2024 is:

“I know well the plans I have in mind for you… JER 29:11”

Wow, the 5th year of Runborn! Does year 5 look like what I thought it would be? Truthfully, I have to admit, when God was leading me in the conception of Runborn I did not even think of a year 5 existing. I was thinking it would be a one-time event. I guess I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing during preparation for the first year. At the time it wasn’t with intention, but as I look back now I can see it was God working silently through me with a bigger “plan” than I thought. If it was a one-time event, why did I have my daughter-in-law create a logo? Why did I screen print and give away 100’s of t-shirts to promote Runborn? Why did I go to the trouble of creating a website? Why did I include in my original “story” this phrase: 

RUNBORN –

The seed has been planted,

       has sprouted,

              and is emerging.

It is yet to grow into its full potential.

JER 29:11 has for a long time been meaningful to me (see the How We Began story), and on a regular basis plays a role in my life. Last year I screen printed it on the back of the Runborn t-shirt. It seemed appropriate as a theme this year. It applies to Runborn continuing to exist for 5 years, to the women and children escaping violence, to the unborn babies whose lives are being saved. God knows well the plans He has in mind!

Year five, it seems appropriate for Runborn to repeat the first year’s 520 mile route across Nebraska. I am looking forward to retracing those inaugural steps in the Runborn journey!
