I am happy/proud/ecstatic to announce that I have the most AMAZING team that I get to spend all of 2013 with. We are a team of 7 and we call ourselves the Intentional Vagabonds. We came up with the name because we are going to be vagabonds for most of 2013. (A vagabond is a person who moves from place to place without a fixed home.) We added the word "intentional" to our team name because we are a team of intentional Christians who want to spread God's love and light to those who we come in contact with in the 11 countries we will visit. So meet my team!
Meet Devin Tudor, our team leader! Devin is 23 and currently works as a Firefighter/EMT in Georgia until we leave for the race in January. He is in love with Lord and is an all around amazing guy who is a romatic at heart. Team Intentional Vagabonds is lucky to have him as our leader for so many reasons (but mostly because he is just so dang awesome). He is always smiling and will break out dance moves at 7 am in the morning like no one else. To learn more about Devin, visit his blog: http://devintudor.theworldrace.org/
Meet Sara Shoup. She is an astonishing 22 year old from Ohio that is very mature, caring and exudes confidence. Sara has a smile that is contagious and loves a good healthy competition. Basically Satan is going to lose against her and Jesus every time! She has a passion for missions and has been to Venezula, Kenya and Israel. She is currently working on her family farm where they raise pigs! To learn more about Sara, visit her blog: http://sarashoup.theworldrace.org/
Meet Pamela Gessler, our team treasurer.She is originally from North Carolina, but she currently lives in Israel serving as a missionary until we leave in January for the race. She knew from the age of 15 that she was meant to be a missionary – how cool is that? Pamela is only 22, but she is so wise and mature in her faith. She is a strong woman of God and I am look forward to spending 2013 with her. To learn more about Pamela, visit her blog: http://pamelagessler.theworldrace.org/
Meet Gabe Bedford (he's the one in the middle). He is 25 years old and is from Missouri. Gabe has been coined as the team "Big Brother" because he is protective and caring. He comes across as a tough guy, but once you get to know him, he is really more like a giant teddy bear. Gabe is also our team comedian and can be counted on to make you laugh and smile in any tough situation. To learn more about Gabe, check out his blog: http://gabebedford.theworldrace.org/
Meet Caity Lewis (she's on the right). I first met Caity when we carpooled to White, Georgia for Training Camp. She is the youngest member of our team and will be 21 in December! She is from Oklahoma and is excited to visit Cambodia again after she spent some time there last summer as a missionary. She is adventurous, easy going and loves the Lord.

Meet Jill Robertson. She is 22 years old and is also from Oklahoma. I first met her when she carpooled out to Training Camp with Caity and I. Jill has a photography degree but says she doesn't use it. I personally cannot wait to see what kinds of pictures she takes next year! Jill went to Uganda and Kenya in January 2012 on a mission trip to serve several orphanages. She is excited to be able to return to both of these countries on the World Race.
