More than 2,000 ‘I am Second’ runners help support the ministry in 2014.

USA (MNN) — Today’s culture is a me-focused generation. They want jobs that revolve around the needs in their lives. Even Christians want to know that their philanthropic giving is making a difference, when at times there’s no way to track spiritual impact. I am Second®, a ministry of E3 Partners, is a movement helping people to live for more than just themselves.

Actors. Athletes. Musicians. Former Addicts. That regular guy or girl working a 9-5 job. But most importantly, people like you.

The real stories on iamsecond.com provide insight into dealing with typical struggles of everyday life. These are stories that give hope to the hopeless and a sense of purpose to the unfulfilled. You’ll see people who’ve failed going at it alone, but eventually found peace–peace only found in Jesus Christ.

Find your place in the movement. You can help fund this ministry that’s reaching all generations by running. Beginning in the Fall, I am Second has 5k and 10k runs scheduled for San Antonio, Kansas, and Dallas. But even if you don’t happen to live in those areas, you can still participate.

How? There’s a I am Second, Run where you are.

Can’t make one it to one of the scheduled run locations? No worries, you can still join in the fun! Sign up for the Run Anywhere, Anytime option at http://www.theiamsecondrun.com/. You pick the time, place, and weather conditions for a run convenient for you. Plus, everyone gets the official I Am Second Run Participant Shirt mailed to them (beginning in July).
