In recognition of the World Race–my 11 month mission trip to 11 countries–this 11th of May(it is also 11 weeks until I will be at Training Camp), I am asking for your support of $11 and for you to share this event with 11 of your friends who you think might be interested in supporting me! (See a pattern?)
The World Race requires each “racer” to raise funds that cover ALL expenses like travel, food, lodging, and insurance for the 11 months. $16,254 is a really scary number. Vaccinations are scary (I hate shots), speaking to large audiences is scary, sleeping on a thin sleeping pad for a year is scary. Getting sick, experiencing team conflict, language barriers, foreign foods, and long travel days are all scary. But you know what? $16,254 is a doable number. Vaccinations will be over in the blink of an eye, speaking to large audiences can create awesome new relationships, sleeping on a thin sleeping pad for a year can be a teaching experience. Getting sick can make for a good story, team conflict can ultimately make teams stronger, language barriers can force us into genuine nonverbal understanding, foreign foods can lead to new favorites, and long travel days can make some of the best bonding experiences. It is all in how you look at it.

FAQ:
What is the World Race?
The World Race is an 11 month mission trip to 11 countries to serve “the least of these” while amongst real and raw community. This is a year filled with discipleship, teamwork, simplicity and service as we work alongside local ministry partners to preach the Gospel, plant churches, love orphans, assist in manual labor, teach English, feed the hungry, and bring the Father’s hope and restoration to the nations. For more info, please go to: The World Race
What does my money go towards?
Your donation allows you to partner with me in ministry around the globe by mobilizing me to go, to give, to pray, and to heal. The money you give covers expenses directly related to the following: meals, lodging, air, land, and sea travel, administrative costs, set-up costs, coaching costs, debriefing costs, training camp costs, and insurance.
How else can I help?
1. Spread the word!
Since I’m obviously going for a theme with the number 11, share this event with 11 of your friends! (Of course there is no penalty for going above and beyond 11)
2. Give!
$11 is the PERFECT amount to give! However, I need to raise $16,252 by March 1, 2015. Would you consider giving $11 per month (or more if that is feasible for you) until I am fully funded? To check up on my fundraising status, there is a status bar at the top of this page that tracks all the funds I have received. (Please note that online donations take 2-5 days to process and checks can take up to 2 weeks).

If you or a donor tries to submit a one time donation on DynaPay we WILL NOT process it, and a check will have to be sent in.
Pray!
I so desperately need prayer in this time of preparation and also once I leave in September.
Thank you all for your support! The World Race would not be possible for me without it.
