Being the 80’s guy that I am, every time I see or hear those words, “Here I go again” I immediately start singing some Whitesnake!
“Here I go again on my own…going down that lonely road I’m living on….like a drifter I was born to walk alone…but I’ve made up my mind, I ain’t wasting no more time”
At this point I’m usually playing some air guitar, singing out loud in a VERY terrible, high pitched voice and acting like a baffoon! HA! I’m all about some 80’s music.
However, it’s a little different for me these days. I won’t be on my own – I’ll be with 27 amazing young men and women. I also shouldn’t encounter any lonely roads – God has, again, given me the chance to be the blessing to the people of the nations! And although I may be a “focused” drifter – I’m walking with Christ! And finally, I ain’t wasting no more time – I’m all in!
Now if I got you all confused – I apologize. So let me speak plainly, I’m leaving January 4th with the next group of world racers. This time I’m getting a chance to serve them and lead them on an extraordinary journey around the globe. We will start off in South America working with earthquake victims in Peru, then to Africa, and finally we’ll end up in Asia. Meaning, I won’t be home again til next year at this time. I’ll be gone 11 months in all. Now, although this has been a tough decision, because I love and will miss my family and friends very much – I want to go! And I feel like I’m being obedient to God’s call on my life. The Lord gave me a desire back in China to “Be The Blessing” to this group of young people. And He has truly placed new desires in my heart, and it’s just been amazing for me to see all this happen. If you want to check out the team I’ll be with just go to www.theworldrace.org and click on teams, then click on the January 2008 team.
Of course I’ve got to raise tons of money to do this – TWENTY GRAND, to be specific. So I’ll be spending the majority of my remaining time in the states fundraising. If anyone wants to help out financially you can do so thru this website. Just go to the “support me” link. Now, I hate to ask for money over the internet, so I’d be more than happy to meet with anyone face-to-face, over the phone, talk to churches, whatever it may be. More than anything God has given me a huge testimony and it’s my responsibility to share it with everyone. So whether you want to give a buck, or twenty thousand, or none, I’d love to share my heart with any of ya’ll and tell you more about our trip and what we’ll be doing. You can contact me thru this website or email me at [email protected].
Be Blessed my friends, and I hope to be able to personally share my vision with each and every one of ya’ll.
