You may have stumbled upon my blog or started reading about my process, but are still confused about what I am doing and where I am going! So here it is from the mouth of The World Race!
“The first World Race squads launched from Mexico in January 2006. Literally knocking on doors and sleeping on streets, it was a raw adventure of faith. While in Swaziland in 2007, the Lord told Seth Barnes to structure the World Race for a movement and to give it away to our generation. The World Race continues to change. It is expanding overseas and in the States, yet its foundations stay the same. It is a journey to 11 countries in 11 months to serve “the least of these” while amongst real and raw community. It facilitates discipleship through the process of discovering into the abundant life He promised. It births partnerships with ministries around the world. It requires Luke 10-like faith. We’re calling racers out of their comfort zone and giving them exposure to what God is doing in the world before they commit to the American dream. Because it’s not about you, it’s about the Kingdom.”
“There is a generation of radicals whose heartbeat is to see a changed world. It’s a generation that’s dissatisfied with the status quo and is actively rising to the challenge of seeing the world transformed through tangible expressions of God’s love. World Racers are seeing lives changed in nations all over the world.”
So yes, I will be serving to 11 countries in 11 months, living out of a backpack and sleeping in a tent! I will be traveling with a squad of 50 people and they will split us up in teams of 6-8 which will be more of a “family”. I will discover who my teammates are after training camp! My squad (Y Squad) will be the first ever Central and South America Only World Race route! I’m excited to experience so many Spanish cultures!
