Welcome!
I'm Molly and in January of 2012 I will be embarking on a journey that will take me around the world and back! Not just any journey, but one that will allow me to love, serve, and simply be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around me.
Hopefully, this will be a place of encouragement for you as my team and I share our stories and experiences from the field. So I invite you to read my story, explore my team's blogs, and enjoy reading about what God is doing in various places around the world through our team.
So, what IS the World Race?
The World Race, a ministry of Adventures in Missions, is a Christian mission trip that sends its participants to 11 countries in 11 months. Yes, you read right! 11 countries in 11 months! I will be living out of a backpack, on a limited budget, and in genuine community with my brothers and sisters in Christ around me. It is my desire to follow the Lord as His hands and feet to minister to the lost, the broken, and the neglected.
Where will I be?
Are you ready? The Philippines, China, India, Nepal, Swaziland, Mozambique, South Africa, Moldova, Romania, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. Amazing, right?!
In each of these countries, we will partner with established ministries and churches and serve in whatever capacity they need. This may look like:
o construction o evangelizing
o church planting o orphan ministry
o ministering to gypsies o teaching English
o fighting human trafficking o providing food for the hungry
o preaching o ministering through prayer
o reaching out to prostitutes o advancing the Kingdom.
Obviously, this trip would not be possible without the vision and passion of the World Race staff, but most importanly, GOD! The main verse that I am carrying with me on this trip comes from the book of Romans:
"For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved'. How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'"
Romans 10:13-15
Here is a video to show you what the World Race is all about. Enjoy!
