Greetings everyone! This is my first blog here on the WR website- how exciting! I wanted to write this post to share with all of you the process on how I found the World Race.
For most of my time being saved I have loved to share the gospel, help others, and bring Christ to those who don’t know Him. I’ll leave my testimony for another day but 2 years ago I got saved and truthfully my life has never been the same. I remember accepting Christ and sharing it with EVERYONE! A few months back I began feeling this call to step away from my job and pursue missionary work. I’ve never enjoyed the 9-5 work schedule. I knew my life had purpose through Jesus but I couldn’t accept/believe that working in an office would be my “ultimate goal.” So, I began asking friends to pray for me with this situation. I’ve actually been praying for a mission trip for quite a few months. My heart has always been on doing something different- even if my flesh might not agree. As I continued working and praying I began searching for mission trips. I was hungry for God to use me in radical ways. When I stumbled upon WR and saw the cost of the trip I immediately freaked out and thought this was simply impossible. I exited my browser feeling defeated. A few days passed and I continued having WR on my mind. I finally took the courage and step of faith to apply!
I prayed A LOT. I was going through so many emotions and as my phone interview grew closer the nerves were getting to me. Satan was attacking me with doubt, fear, anxiety- but Jesus kept whispering in my ear to trust in Him. I had to constantly be praying for peace and the will of God over this mission trip… and guess what? I GOT ACCEPTED!
God has truly shown me that anything we ask according to His will- will happen. I cannot wait to go deeper in my relationship with Jesus and share what God is doing through my journey. I am overwhelmed with joy of God’s goodness and the amount of support I have received. I know that times will get difficult and my faith will be tested but I am so ready to lay down everything so that Jesus can fully live through me.
But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:24
