Bronxville Pastor to Run in L.I. Marathon

Thanks to Concordia College's Web and Media Relations Manager Allison Esposito for the following:

Dr. Robert Hartwell, Senior Pastor at the Village Lutheran Church and The Chapel School in Bronxville will be running the Long Island Half Marathon on Sunday, May 5 in support of Pastor Roy Minnix and the Concordia College-New York students who will travel to India this summer through Concordia's "Ambassadors in Mission."

Students will not only experience India and grow to understand the beauty and the challenges of this nation but will also be serving as missionaries sharing the love of Christ in remote locations including Kodaikanal, a city in the hills of Tamil Nadu State, southwest of the major metropolis of Chenai. This opportunity has grown out of a partnership Concordia College has with Kodaikanal Christian College as well as Women's Christian College in Chenai, India.

A message from Pastor Hartwell: Please join me in praying for Pastor Minnix, our students, and their journey. Please also prayerfully consider a generous gift to support their mission work. I would suggest giving amounts corresponding to the 13.2 miles I will run ($13, $26, $52, $132, etc…).  Please feel free to give any amount. You may give on-line at:
