Probably one of the biggest things that drew me to the World Race was the opportunity to work with kids, especially orphans. This
month we separated into new teams based on our ministry interests and of course when I found out that working at an orphanage
was an option, I knew where I would be. Well, at the beginning of the month my orphanage loving team and I set out, excited for our month of ministry, only to arrive to our contacts and find out that the month would mostly consist of construction work and manual labor. And that there was no orphanage. Of course we were all initially disappointed, but I really think that God must
have subconsciously prepared us for what was coming because we all had great attitudes about it, and we had the opportunity to do so many other great things that we never expected. Such as…
live & work in ridiculously hot weather. (110 degrees at 10:50am!)
do a lot of construction, such as building a saala and a wall. im a pro at mixing concrete now!
.
teach lots of english. (which i absolutely loved.)
be apart of the thai new year! which is basically just like a nationwide water fight. we’re going to try to bring it back to america.
get really comfortable with going everywhere in the back of a truck.
encourage the people of the only thai church in the area.
this is the team i got to do it all with…
and this is the amazing family i got to live with…and consequently fall in love with. 🙂
With all of that being said, God has given me the opportunity to do so much this year, let alone this month! But I’m still in need of $1,500 to finish the race. We have 2 more months left and I know that there is still so much in store for me to do. If you have already supported me, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support. You are the reason I have been able to serve God with my life this year and through your support the lives of so many people have been changed. I’m so thankful for your help! Please prayerfully consider helping me finish this journey and raising the $1,500 more I need! Thank you!
