South Sudan is the world's newest country and is located in east Africa. Today, roughly three out of four people in South Sudan are unable to read or write.

On January 11, this team (Blake Mankin, Aaron Berg, Ben Brown, Will Cates) will collectively be running 104.8 miles via the Houston Marathon.

We'd like to make these miles more meaningful by giving our friends and family the opportunity to sponsor each mile.

Through our Miles for Radios team, we're hoping to raise enough for one radio per mile.

Each $20 gift sends a radio to someone in South Sudan through Every Village, opening access to life-saving information, education, and the hope of the Gospel in a place with one of the lowest literacy rates in the world.

Together, as the miles add up, so do the radios—and so does the impact. Would you consider sponsoring a mile to help bring light and hope to communities in need?
