Join us on February 20, 2027 for the 6th annual Ancora Ministries Spark Love 5K! All proceeds from this event will be invested in programs dedicated to FEEDING KIDS in Central Texas and Guatemala. No child should ever be hungry, and our goal is to make sure that there are ZERO hungry kids in every community we work in.
Run, walk, or even "sleep walk" the Spark Love 5K, and join us in making this a reality!
Ancora Ministries is on the ground in communities where no one else is working – both in Central Texas in Guatemala.
