As this trip I’m going to be taking gets closer and closer, I’ve noticed myself talking about it more and more to pretty much anyone I come into contact with. I’ve had a few of the same questions come up multiple times, so I decided to answer them, using what I found in the FAQ section of The World Race’s website. Hopefully this will help you better understand what this trip is all about 🙂
Q: What are you going to be actually doing on the trip?
A: Every day on the World Race looks a little different. Some days will be packed full with construction, VBS, building relationships with orphans, or praying for the sick at a hospital. Some days could be slower — shopping for groceries at the market, cooking for your team, and spending time praying for the community you walk through. Regardless of the pace or the activity, every day will be focused on being a part of God’s kingdom work.
Q: What is covered in the cost of your trip?
A: The funds that you raise cover all team costs once the trip begins. This includes food, lodging, and air, land & sea travel. It also covers administrative, setup, coaching, debrief, and training costs prior to and at the start of the Race.
It does not include: personal spending money, travel to the training, travel to the start point, return travel home from a major U.S. city at the conclusion of the Race, medical insurance [required], and vaccinations.
Q: Is the World Race affiliated with any particular denomination?
A: The World Race is a program of the inter-denominational organization Adventures in Missions (Adventures). Adventures is an established missions organization that has been around since 1989, sending people from different churches and backgrounds all over the world on life-changing mission trips.
