I’ve always wanted to travel the world to help people, I dreamed of doing this when I graduated college since I was young, At the time I was not following God .Well fast forward years later and I’m following Jesus with all my heart, giving up things I used to think were so important and saying yes to the world race!
I’ve been thinking and praying allot about the world race for months now, at the beginning I thought it was an amazing missions trip but that I would never be ready or able to do that, God would never want me to preach to the nations. I mean who am I to do something like that? I’m not good enough, I don’t know the bible enough, I’ve never preached. He would have to be crazy!
God has spent those months breaking through the lies that I can’t do it and that I’m not good enough. And he’s placed truth in my heart that I am a child of God, and he will prepare me. He has reminded me time and time again that “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called “this has spoken to me in so many ways. It has served as reminder that though I may not feel ready to take on this huge commitment , I am ready and as I keep saying yes to God and following were he is leading me I will be ready when I need to be .
Now with that said, to say this doesn’t scare me would be a lie , it does but I trust God will be keep me safe. I’d rather live a life of seeing others’ lives changed then living in comfort. God is asking me to trust him with everything I have , including finances which is harder than I thought it would be . I need to raise 16,361.00 . I know my stomach sank when I saw that amount, and I said “no! …not happening I don’t have that kind of money and I can’t fundraise that much”. Then I heard God say “trust me”. And all I could think was how ridiculous I was being. Am I really going to believe that God can raise Jesus from the dead, heal the sick, and do all these miracles? But say money is too big of an issue for God ?
So what is the world race?
The world race is an 11 month missions trip to 11 different countries. We will be serving “the least of these” showing God’s love to orphans , sex trafficking victims , and anyone else we can . This is an opportunity to let go of expectations and let God show me what he has in store. This is not a vacation , it is hard ,raw, real life ! and I’m ready!
As I prepare for this trip there are some ways you could help as well!! This journey is not my own I need you, here are some ways to help!
Prayer –I ask that you considering partnering with me through prayer, no matter how far away I might be prayer still works!
Financial – I am believing God that this trip will be fully funded before I launch is January ! I ask that you consider partnering with me through financial support, no amount is too small!
Input- I know everyone has great ideas for fundraising and gear and I want to hear it ! please share any creative ideas you might have !
