This is the email that I received today and I wanted to share it with you all! Please take a moment to read it and continuing praying for all of us! God Bless you all!
We know you’ve waited with much anticipation to hear about your upcoming race route. We present this with excitement at the areas of the world God has laid on our heart, but also with a cautionary note: we announce this with the full disclaimer that all of this is subject to change. We want to remain open to the Lord’s leading and be available to respond should an urgent need arise. If God calls, we want to move! As you share this with your friends, family and supporters, explain that these regions (ie. Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, etc.) are fairly certain whereas the countries themselves (ie. Swaziland, Romania etc.) are to be determined. As of August 2008, this is what we believe God has laid out, if changes arise, we will communicate them to you as soon as possible.
That being said, begin praying into these locations. Feel free to do your own research on these areas of the world and the needs that exist. It can only enhance your experience to know as much as possible about the religious influences, cultural influences, relevant history, etc. to better know how to reach the people in these areas. The ministries in each of these areas will vary and you’ll receive that information as you go throughout the race. We do make the effort to expose you to a wide variety of ministry opportunities so go forward ready to follow God in your gifting and talents as well as those that might be new or different for you.
If you have specific questions, e-mail Jimmy at [email protected].
