Whoa, back up…Why am I getting these blogs?

 

Whoa, back up… some of you are thinking, why do I keep getting these blogs from April? I’m not even quite sure who she is or what she is doing. Well if you are that person, it’s because I took the privilege of signing you up for my blog! You see… I have this crazy AWESOME opportunity… and I feel bad keeping it all to myself. So I would like to make YOU a part! I would like YOU to follow me around the world (from the comfort of your own home of course).

 

 

 

You see, God has put this burning desire in my heart to bring justice to the nations… and it just so happens He has put this same burning desire in the hearts of 80 other young people who are coming together in September (less than a month) to begin a journey called The WORLD RACE. It is an 11 month journey to 11 different countries: Philippines, Malaysia, Nepal, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ukraine, and Romania. We are going to spend 1 month in each country.

 

 

We will be surviving off a limited budget and living out of backpacks. I know it sounds absolutely insane and I will admit that I am still processing myself. But our desire is to learn what it means to “sell everything and give to the poor”, to serve as Jesus served, to go to the nations as YOUR representitive of JESUS CHRIST.

 

Call me crazy but I believe God is going to do GREAT things through our squad. My hope is that I will be able to share those things with you as I go. I am so blessed to have this opportunity and I wish everyone could have the chance to spend a year in service overseas… but for those of you who say “that’s great but it’s just not in the cards for me”… I’m dealing you a new hand and giving you the opportunity to share my journey, to serve by following my stories, and lifting up the people and places I encounter in prayer. God has already shown me that I am going to get far more out of this trip than I am going to give up. I hope that YOU will also be blessed by my journey!
