Hey Everyone! My name is Char, and in January 2011, I left on a missions trip to 11 countries in 11 months.  You can keep up with what i am doing  while I am on the race right here on my blog, and if you would like to support me, just click on the support me tap to the left of this page.

 

 Whether through prayer or financially your suport will be gladly and greatly appreciated. Financially I need to raise $14,300 to cover all my expenses for the year.

 

 I am also wanting to have a team of people who will commit to praying for myself and my fellow world racers. I would love for you to come along side of me and to be a part of my misistry. Please keep me and my fellow racers in your prayers as we get ready to embark on this journey.
thank you and God Bless.

“Look at the nations and watch–and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” Habikuk 1:5

 

 

 

 

The Dominican Republic is an island nation in the middle of the Caribbean. With a population around nine million, it’s a country with more affluence than its neighboring country Haiti. 



After the earthquake on January 12 in Haiti, the D.R. quickly became home to thousands of refugees searching for food, shelter, and comfort. This month, you’ll serve at orphanages, refugee camps, and more. 



The Dominican Republic is also home to full-time Adventures In Missions missionaries Miguel and Kristen Shaul, who live near the border and first responded to the Haiti earthquake when it hit. Much of the work you will be doing will involve working with local pastors and churches to bring hope to those affected by the recent earthquake.

Named after the Spanish word for equator, this country is packed full of natural beauty. From the Amazon river to glaciers atop Andes volcanoes, this country is sure to enthrall you, and it’s people too. As diverse as it’s landscapes, the indigenous and Incan influences give this country a unique culture. Although the country is about 95% Catholic, there are still indigenous shamanistic practices that are integrated in their faith. With more than half of the population sitting at or below the poverty line, Equador is a country waiting for God’s Kingdom to come.

With a rich history dating back to time of the Incas and an enthralling, vibrant landscape – ever heard of the Andes Mountains? Peru is a land full of wonder and epic stories. It’s also a country in need of experiencing God’s goodness and understanding what it means to have a relationship with the Creator. Many natives still dabble in traditional religious practices and idolatry, but God is up to something in this country. The Peruvian church is becoming thirstier for the truth and authentic spiritual breakthrough. Its political past has been riddled with violence from the likes of the Shining Path guerrilla and Alberto Fujimoto’s presidency, from which both the indigenous poor and urban affluent alike are recovering. Your time here may include moments in the jungle – perhaps a visit to the Macchu Picchu – as well as life in the metropolis. This is one country you won’t forget… especially if you drink the water.
