The Love Wins 5K and one-mile walk/run will be hosted at Jamestown Christian Church on Saturday, September 23 starting at 8 a.m. Registration opens at 7:15 a.m.
Love Wins is an event put on by Broken Together Ministries, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This ministry was created out of a passion to share resources our state and local communities offer to the adopting and fostering community, and to the most vulnerable among us.
Author Curt Thompson said the following his book “The Soul of Shame”: “We all are born into the world looking for someone looking for us.” Broken Together Ministries seeks to highlight some of those resources that offer many levels of help and hope to the most vulnerable people in our state and local communities.
From adopting and fostering to single parenting, doing life alone often isn’t the solution. There are organizations with people who want to help, and give their resources to help others live a healthier, more fulfilling life. Whether you know someone in need, are curious about the resources our state offers to vulnerable kids and families, or just want to compete in a fun run, this is your event. The connections you make at this event could be life-changing.
All proceeds go toward funding the race and Isaiah 117 House of Hendricks, Boone and Montgomery counties. This home is giving hope to our children entering the foster care system. Their vision of helping the children entering our foster care system will make a positive impact for all involved. These are the very resources our state and communities need for generations to come. To learn more about Isaiah 117 House, visit isaiah117house.com. 
Some other resources that will be present at the event include the Willow Center of Brownsburg, Hands of Hope, the Indiana Department of Child Services of Montgomery County, Hope Center Indy and more.
The Love Wins event starts with a morning run/walk, and organizers hope that people from all walks of life will join to celebrate the redemptive resources many organizations offer for vulnerable families and children.
