Life changing adventure with eternal impact. Are you ready to make a difference?
Since 1948, JAARS has been making Bible translation and language development possible—especially in the most remote and difficult places on earth. Much has changed since then, but our mission is fundamentally the same.
More than 600 million people speaking roughly 5,000 languages have little-to-no Scripture in a language they can clearly understand. And when they can’t understand what they read or hear, the life transforming power of the gospel is stopped in its tracks.
You can help do something about that.
The Montana Race for Possible is an annual awareness and fundraising adventure race that helps bridge the adrenaline rush of adventure sport many individuals crave and the extreme adventure to which Jesus calls his Church—to make disciples of all nations.
By competing in Race for Possible your team helps:
- raise funds to support projects directly related to Bible translation
- promote the impact of Bible translation
- provide a Cessna 206 airplane to help meet the Bible translation and mission needs in Cameroon
- transform lives through providing mother-tongue Scripture and Biblical resources
When: October 9-11, 2020
Where: Camp Bighorn, Plains, MT 59859
This race is hosted by JAARS in partnership with Camp Bighorn located along the Clark Fork River near Plains, Montana. You will raft the whitewater of the Clark Fork River, rappel and climb the amazing rock formations surrounding the camp, be challenged by a high-ropes course, and bike the rugged mountain trails of the area.
The Racers: Compete on a team of four to make a difference in eradicating one of our greatest injustices: Bible poverty. Racers commit to the following:
- Build a team of four to race against time and other teams in demanding physical and linguistic challenges. If you can't form a team of four, sign up and we will place you with others to form a team when you arrive.
- Pray for endurance to run the race set before us - running the baton of Bible translation to the finish line. Also, invite others to pray for the Bibleless as the team competes.
- Raise funds for the Cessna 206 project. We provide resources and tools to help make the fundraising easy. Prizes are awarded for ‘most funds raised’.
Registration $198/person (Covers lodging, food, and race elements.)
Join us as a participant, donor, or corporate sponsor and help eradicate Bible poverty.
*Age requirement: must be 16 years or older; anyone under 18 must have written parental consent, an adult must be on the team, and all participants will need to sign the Jaars Race for Possible Standard of Conduct Agreement.
