You know how, for the last six months, I've been telling you all that I'll be going to the Philippines, China, Serbia, Bulgaria, one more country in Eastern Europe, Swaziland, Mozambique, South Africa, Nicaragua, Honduras/El Salvador and Guatemela?
Well, scratch that. Forget about those countries.
(well, don't actually forget about them. they need your prayer and support, too)
Let me introduce you to:
Ukraine
Romania
Nepal
India
Tanzania
Uganda
Rwanda
Thailand
Cambodia
Malaysia
and
one more country in Asia
Familiarize yourself with these countries. Love them. Pray for them. And become friends with them because…
They are the eleven countries on my NEW SEPTEMBER ROUTE!
To even out numbers between the two September 2011 squads, we recently went through some changes and some of us from the first September squad switched over to the second one.
While I'm sad to say that I will not be traveling around the world with the squad I have been getting to know and forming relationships with for the past six months, I'm kind of super excited about this new route. As most of you know, I'm in love with Asia. Honestly, when we I found out what my original route was, I was kind of disappointed that there weren't more Asian countries on it. I'm especially excited to now be going to Thailand, where we will be most likely ministering to girls trapped in the sex trafficking industry. What an amazing opportunity to defend the weak and abused.
I've heard amazing incredible fabulous things about India.
Also. Nepal. Mt. Everest. Photographs. 'Nuff said.
So, be looking for new support cards in the mail. Send me some love through Facebook and e-mail. And most of all, please continue to pray for me and my adventures/ministries in each of these new countries.
On another note, training camp is coming up fast! July 2-10th (well, through the 8th for me because I need to fly back early to shoot a wedding). I'll be going to Tennessee to meet my squadmates (old and new), build community and camp out under the stars. I'm excited to meet everyone and focus on the Race for a whole week. But I'm a little stressed too – about buying the gear I need, a plane ticket and all that financial stuff. My registry at REI is just waiting for some generous people to support me through purchasing some of my gear. http://www.rei.com/GiftRegistryDetails/GR2345871
And hey, if you want to just support me in general, click the "Support Me!" link on the left side of this page. I definitely won't be mad about that.
For we must never forget what is the most repellent and inexplicable trait in our Enemy; He really loves the hairless bipeds He has created and always gives back to them with His right hand what He has taken away with His left.
