It’s an incredible thing to come back from the Race and to see God continue to work even after being gone.  Especially for those who have supported me as a Racer in prayer and finances.  Your seeds planted have made a great effect all around the world as many of you reading my blogs during the World Race.  If you will remember this post I had during our time in Ukraine:

I still remember that night when Michael, Vika, and I sat down in a room and was able to share the gospel with him during a long two hour conversation.  Recently, our Ukraine contact sent me an email that Michael who came to Christ that night just a couple of weeks ago was recently baptized in a river.  What an awesome news to receive from our contacts.  It’s a joy to know that when you’re sharing the gospel and seeing someone receive Christ in their life across the world, that they are growing strong in their faith and soon to be baptized later but those who continue to minister.  I think this shows not only the power of those who water, grow, and harvest.  But I think it shows the power of what God can do in one moment, even if you’re in a country for a short time.  I’m excited that I could be a part of this process and that others will be able to disciple him!!  Praise God for Michael and continue to pray for those who leave the comforts and go to bring the Good News. How beautiful are their feet!
