Why?

Why did I go on The World Race?

Why did I choose to move to Gainesville, Georgia (chicken capital of the world) to work for Adventures in Missions and specifically The World Race?

Why do I continue to encourage others to go on The World Race?

Why why why why why.

And to be honest, sometimes I forget the reason why myself.  I get lost in spreadsheets and financial plans and receipts and training and credit cards and the list could go on.  And there are many times when the true heart of why I do what I do gets completely lost.

Which is why watching this 3 minute video spoke some life back into my heart, and reminded me of all my why’s.

There have been many times when it has been hard to communicate to all of you what exactly I did, what I’m doing and why.  But this video gives a pretty accurate depiction of it all.

I heard a whisper.  I hear a whisper.  And I know that God is a greater God than what any of us can imagine.  He doesn’t go inside a box.  He doesn’t reside within one nation or in one place.  He loves fiercely, not just us but everyone in this world.  And going and sharing and living in that Love was the greatest experience of my life.  It has changed me forever.

I would love for you all to take 3 minutes from your day to watch this video, and hopefully get a better understanding of the why.

I’d love your prayers.  Prayers for our current World Racers, for our future World Racers (especially Anne Michael McDonald!!!), for past World Racers who are trying to figure out what’s next, for The World Race in general that it can continue to reach the nations and more importantly disciple a generation and do all this in wisdom and love, and lastly for me and my husband Kyle.  And in return, I’ll be praying for you guys.  The truth is, God is always whispering to each of us about something more.  The World Race is an incredible way to chase after that whisper, but it’s not the only way.  And I’m encouraged by the way you all love radically exactly where God has you at this time.

 

Lots of Love,

Jill (Jones) Dennard
