So What has been in on my mind the last couple of weeks none other than the race as I seek to continue my preparation for this trip the number one thing people say about the race is to be ready for the unexpected how can I expect something that is unexpectable. Only through prayer, throughout this blog post there is scattered prayer requests that need to be taken to our God if you would commit to praying for those I would greatly appreciate it. There have been 3 things on my mind of recent.

First, is my medical conditioning I have to prepare my body for what it could encounter such as taking malaria medicine with me for 7 of the 11 months. Also trying to keep my asthma symptoms under control and becoming properly vaccinated. And Praise God the later item has been finished I am fully vaccinated for all the possible things that could happen why I am over there.

The second, uncertainty is what could happen to the people I leave behind at home. I am in constant prayer for their safety as I know that the devil is out there but luckily our God is bigger. So please pray for my family and close friends that are left behind.

Lastly, Safety of my team we are going in to places of high anti-Christian cultures and some of them could be very dangerous with the unrest that is already going on these countries. Please keep my team in prayer as we try and be ready whatever is thrown at us. Which brings me to my next topic I leave in 1 month for training camp where they put us through some very difficult trials that cause us to grow and become more ready for what will come when we launch 40 days after I get back!!!
