Great Global Friendship Run Participation

“Making The Impossible Possible:” Join Friendship Sports Association, Inc. (FSA) and A Better Community For All (ABC4All) in

supporting The Great Global Friendship Run!   The May Edition of "From The Heart" looks at the various ways being anticipated for participation by ABC4All Mentors with The Great Global Friendship Run (GGFR) http://friendshipsports.abc4all.net. Friendship Sports Association, Inc. (FSA) 501(c)(3) http://FriendshipSports.org and The Foundation For A Better Community For All (FABC) are committed to providing maximum support for GGFR’s six-year mission going into all the world.  World Ultra Distance Runner, Stan Cottrell, and FABC Founder Burton Danet are united in the commitment to bring to 250+ locations ways to spread cross-cultural friendship and raise $1 Billion for the children of the world who are without natural parents. 

The implications for this Great Mission can only be imagined at the start of this effort during the Summer of 2013. As Stan runs and reaches out to local people across the world, and as the run venues host myriad events, there will be extensive media exposure of needs and an awakening generating support for worthwhile causes. The plight of the 143 million children in orphanages is well known with many across the world already focusing efforts in various locales on their behalf, yet still with dire needs for funding support. It is not just the needs of orphans alone, however, but of children and youth, many of whom can become future leaders. This cannot be considered too important for the welfare of the world!

The stated Goal of GGFR: Raise over $1 Billion for the world’s orphaned and abandoned children living in homes without their natural parents or on the streets, provide resources, aid and encouragement to give them a real hope and a future, and dramatically reduce the prostitution, drugs, crime and suicide to which so many now befall without a sense of hope. To be truly effective, the GGFR will create ongoing mechanisms to continue funding them long after we are gone. Consider:

A billion people contributing would represent only 1/7th of the world’s population.

Sharing $1 Billion for the welfare of children without natural parents will meaningfully help in meeting their needs.

So if just 1 in 7 of the world's people gave just $1 each, we would reach our minimum goal of $1 Billion for the world's orphans!  So please, if not more, give your $1 today!

The need is great!  60% of girls are lured into prostitution. 70% of boys become hardened criminals. So we hope you will consider an even more generous gift...whatever is laid on your heart to give, whatever you can afford. 

Your support is needed for this mega-sports-charity-event, for the 6-year Run to raise the funds, spread awareness of the plight of the world's children, spread cross-cultural understanding and friendship, and give the invaluable hands-on touch with the children during visits to orphanages and schools - starting with Stan going to Ethiopia NOW!

The Ethiopia Run events start May 28, 2013! … The time is urgent! The cause is just!  

PLEASE DONATE ($1: 1 billion donations does it!) FOR THE RUN FOR THE ORPHANS! Join Us In Helping Make The World A Better Place For All!

Great Global Friendship Run Participation

A new book being co-edited: “Making The Impossible Possible”

A major theme in the life of Stan Cottrell is well-represented in his book, “No Mountain Too High.” Courage, determination, perseverance and faith, overcoming all obstacles… Once a meeting took place between Stan and Burt Danet, it quickly became apparent that their common theme could be reflected by the phrase, “Making The Impossible Possible.”

Burt Danet published a Book Review of Stan Cottrell’s "No Mountain Too High" on March 8, 2013. Please see the review here: http://home.abc4all.net/articles/view/222979/?

topic=75340. Here is an excerpt:

Manning Global Awareness:   A Review of “No Mountain Too High” by Burton Danet, Ph.D. “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)  The man is Stan Cottrell, former Guinness Record Holder, author of “No Mountain Too High” and founder of the Friendship Run concept.  Stan is preparing to mount a global campaign in the interest of touching hearts and helping orphans throughout the world. This will introduce to you a man of vision and mission entirely consistent with "The World of A Better Community for All." Learning about this man will be pivotal for us all to become aware of how each of us, if we choose, can support Stan's mission, while we also derive multiple benefits with related endeavors as he traverses the world.  This is the equivalent of bringing Global Humanitarian Relief (GHR) to anyone alive who is receptive!  http://ghrd.abc4all.net  Every Day is GHRD!™

Now that FSA and FABC are working together to foist The Great Global Friendship Run to new heights in achieving its goals, a common theme has stimulated the genesis of a co-edited book, “Making The Impossible Possible.” Chapters are being submitted by Guest Authors and by ABC4All Mentors. The book will be made available to persons supporting The Great Global Friendship Run and will be added to the series of books being made available to ABC4All Mentors.

Look for SPECIFIC ACTION STEPS you can take if you wish to participate with implementation of the Legacy of ABC4All and its Global Vision and Mission including becoming active with those who will be "Country Coordinators" for The Great Global Friendship Run.  Please see http://friendshipsports.abc4all.net and http://friendshipsports.org for more information. Global Vision: To share with all countries a true restoration of a QUIET HOPE for PEACE and HARMONY in the world, and bring a true HOPE and a FUTURE for the children and all who are hurting.

ABC4All Mission: "Maximizing Charitable Contributions on and off the Internet."™ Long-term goal: Creating the ABC4All Legacy wherein charitable contributions will be MATCHED/DOUBLED into Perpetuity.  Achieving this mission justifies the ABC4All Mantra: MAXIMIZE Giving™

The overriding purpose of this worldwidefriendship run is to call attention to the plight of orphan children in the world. Stan is convinced thatcalling attention to these millions of children can successfully rally international interest in comingto their aid. Allow me to quote Stan, “Companionate people all over the world will, without a doubt,generously support these displaced children as they are made aware of their horrific plight. I trulybelieve that as a result of this Great Global Friendship Run we shall not only awaken people to the urgent need to rescue these children but we will see millions respond with generous help.”

It will be a euphoric moment when this famous runner comes into the soccer field in Hawassa,Ethiopia. Thousands will cheer him and greet him with loving kindness. The Ethiopian people havehearts of compassion and they will applaud Mr. Cottrell’s desire to rally the world population around these millions of orphans.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Pray that America will survive and revive during these dark days of deception, corruption, immorality and challenges to our liberty.

Pray for Israel. God promised to curse those who are against Israel and to bless those people and nations who stand with and support her. Pray that America will not turn her back on Israel.Pray for open doors around the world. We are still committed to confront 20 million people with the

Gospel by 2020...whilewaiting for the Lord to return at any moment. These are urgent hours. Wecan’t put off going with the Gospel with the sense of urgency.

Pray that God continues to supply the funds needed to carry on this God anointed ministry. I pray thatthe Lord would lay it upon the hearts of many precious people to invest, literally, in reaching the masses for Christ and training workers.

Pray for my son Van as he continues to work in our ministry. Van is very valuable to our work. Pray for his continued wisdom and strength.

Pray for Shirley and me in our new marriage. She is indeed my second blessing. I agree with mychildren who believe that Sue would be really happy about the Lord supplying to me this wonderful companion in love.

The hour is dark, the needs are great, the opportunities are mind boggling, the expenses areunbelievable, but our God is able to do far beyond even our greatest expectations. Let us trust the God who has never failed us and remember that nothing is impossible with God.
