Broken Chains Mission 5k Run/Walk

Saturday, September 10th, 2016

We are raising funds for the Broken Chains Mission which exist to partner with the local church in Costa Rica to strengthen churches, provide for children in poverty who have been abused and neglected, and rescue children enslaved in human trafficking.

This mission was founded by Shannon Bopp, Josh Conley and Estban Portugues
