One of the girls on our squad made this video and I thought you would enjoy seeing who I’ll be spending the next year with. Also one of my teammates recently posted our updated Race Route along with specific prayer requests. We begin travels this week as we work our way to Miami from all over the US by Sunday morning January 4th. Please praying for us and the preparation of our hearts as we say goodbye to friends and family for the next year. Pray that no matter what this week brings our eyes would be fixated on Christ and what He has called us too. I have also included information on how I can be reached on the field. Thank you for your prayers and support! More to come from the Dominican in a couple weeks…
Dominican Republic
The Caribbean sits as unexplored
territory for the World Race. Teams will be sent to
all corners of this beautiful country to focus on building
relationships, planting
churches, and loving on the orphans and widows of the community. Please
be praying for Unity and Gentleness specifically while I’m in the
Dominican.

Haiti
Crossing the border from the Dominican Republic to Haiti is like
entering another world. Language changes from Spanish to French to
Creole, and landscape changes from lush forests to barren wastelands.
The island of Hispanola has been divided against itself in decades of
animosity between the Haitian and Dominican people. The 2008 hurricanes
ravaged across the island, leaving the northern portion of Haiti
devastated and in much need of tangible help and spiritual
encouragement. We go to help rebuild physically and spiritually, as we
explain the hope that Christ brings in the face of such tragedy.

Pray for DR and Haiti: Unity and Gentleness
*Romans 15:5 “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give
you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus.”
*Ephesians 4:3 “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
*Philippians 4:5 “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.”
Thailand
Even though the official law states that prostitution is illegal,
it is estimated that nearly 2 million women and men engage in this
practice daily, thus creating the lucrative sex industry of Southeast
Asia. In addition to reaching out to the rural communities of Thailand,
we go to the streets, into the darkest of spiritual environments to
share what is most needed: hope. We will be helping women learn practical
vocational skills and providing an alternative form of income.

Cambodia
Fifty years ago, Cambodia saw one of the most devastating
genocides in history. The Khmer Rouge slaughtered nearly two million
people. In 24
hours, cities were emptied and abandoned. The nation has been
in constant upheaval until recently. The strength and resiliency of the
Cambodian people is inspiring.

Vietnam
The country of Vietnam has been under communist rule
for decades, and the oppression has taken its toll through seasons of
warfare and rebuilding. The government is adamantly against religious
freedom, and as the country suffers in Buddhist bondage, the light of
the
Christian remnant shines as a candle in the darkness.
Prayer for Asia: Grace and Patience
*Romans 6:14 “For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”
*Colossians 3:12 “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly
loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience

Mozambique/Malawi
Enter a world of lions, elephants and monkeys, and welcome to
Africa. Potentially the most fruitful of mission fields, northern
Mozambique and Malawi is seeing sweeping revival in the form of mass
conversions, miracles, and churches planted on a daily basis. Teams
will be a part of breaking the hold of fear on the people bound by
witch doctors and animism.

Swaziland
Swaziland made history by being the first country to reach a 51%
HIV/AIDS infection rate across the general population. Through lack of
education, superstition and other such deceptions, it is speculated
that in 50 years, the country will no longer exist. Though small,
Swaziland has great potential to spread the light of Christ to all of
Africa.

Africa Prayer:Pray for Protection/Strength
*Psalm 46 “God is our refuge and
strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the
sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their
surging. “Selah” There is a river whose streams make glad the city of
God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she
will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in
uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD
Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. “Selah” Come and
see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and
shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire. “Be still, and know
that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted
in the earth.” The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our
fortress.”

Romania
The northern regions of Romania are
home to the gypsy people. Strangers in their homeland, they
are segregated, ostracized and forgotten. We’ll be teaching English, leading sports camps, and planting
churches in Romania.

Ukraine
The developing country of the Ukraine
stands caught between its past oppression under the U.S.S.R. communist
regime and the desire to be accepted into the Western world. The
forgotten and marginalized of this area are quick to be found if one
looks close enough. Come be a part of a revolution, taking back a
region from the bondage of Islam and other folk religions. It’s a new
day for the countries of Eastern Europe!

MAIL POLICY:
As
our time to depart for the World Race quickly approaches, many have
asked how to send goodies our way! Here is AIM’s policy:
Due
to the nature of our mission trip, racers will not be able to receive
care packages. The mail system and import taxes make things a
challenge. However, cards and letters are certainly welcome. Cards and
letters from home can be taken to the field most of the time by race
coaches. We understand the value of this to racers on the field and
will try our best to get these to the field each time a Coach
visits. Cards and letters should be flat and compact. Please mail
these to:
