Welcome to My World Race Home Page! 
 

Beginning August 1, 2009 I will be embarking on an 11 month journey to 11 different countries with the non-profit mission organization Adventures in Missions.
I will come face to face with hundreds of people who are hungry for
love, acceptance and the same hope that I have found through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
By meeting felt and spiritual needs in the bush and the city, we hope
to leave lasting ministries to carry on beyond us. Some of these
ministries include child outreach, sport camps, education, helping
women learn practical vocational skills, church planting, disaster
relief and many more. With the rigorous discipleship and training we’ll
receive, and a whole lot of prayer, I’m confident that hearts will be
stirred and lives will be changed.
 

I
am thankful for the opportunity and experience that lie ahead and
I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish with the Lord’s
guidance. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires financial
support from a number of people. I must raise $13,800 for the year that
goes directly to Adventures in Missions and will cover all my expenses
while in the field. If you would like to partner with me, please click
on the Support Me! link on the left side of the page. Also, to receive my blog updates, please click on the Subscribe to My Blog for Updates! link.  While
financial support is important, it is second to my need for your prayer
support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we
follow God’s leading in these countries. 
 
I
am extremely excited about how God will use me and what He will teach
me through this experience. I hope not only to be a blessing to those I
serve, but also to you. My desire is to go as your representative of
Jesus Christ. I hope you will prayerfully consider sharing in this
ministry. Thank you so much!!
 
In Him,

Tamica Sloan

Ireland
Ireland
boasts a heritage of Christianity through Catholicism. Yet the lifeless
display of faith reveals that this nation is farther from God than
ever. Rampant alcoholism and suicide rates reveal a desperate need for
hope.  Through sports, children’s outreach, and the relationships that
just happen along the way, World Race hopes to reintroduce a
life-giving faith to this beautiful, historic culture.
 
 
 
 

Romania
The
northern regions of Romania are home to the gypsy people of Romania.
Strangers in their home land, they are segregated, ostracized and
forgotten. Yet, they are a strong, proud and colorful people who are
beginning to embrace the light of Christ in a whole new way. Teaching
English, leading sports camps, and planting churches are but a few of
the tasks set before us as we enter this area of the world.
 
 
 

Egypt
Egypt is a country rich in historical significance.  The Egyptian people are no less rich
in their cultural goings-on today.  A country shaped by the past and
under religious bondage, the people of Egypt are hungry to hear of the
freedom brought through Christ.  While pyramids and palaces give the
land a romanticized veneer, under the surface lie hearts in need of
relationship and hope.

 

Jordan and Israel
The
Holy Land attracts Jews, Arabs and Christians alike to be a part of a
location so rich in our combined religious roots.  Serve the people of
Israel while walking the paths trod by Christ.  Serve in this new World
Race location while walking the paths that Christ Jesus once did.

 
 
Kenya

The
Masai bush, the Nairobi metropolis, the Kiberra slums…comprise a
country diverse yet unified in history.  The Kenyan people are
colorful, musical, artistic and hungry for the love of Christ.  As a
new era dawns in Kenya, so does the Gospel of truth and faith.  By
meeting felt needs in the bush and the city, we hope to leave lasting
fruit and lasting ministries to carry on beyond us. Watch more…

 
 

Uganda

From
the Ugandan islands to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, the African
people of these nations share a common bond.  Through the wild lands,
home to Africa’s “Big Five” animals coexist people, reached and
unreached with the Gospel of Christ.  Through evangelism, church
planting and discipleship, we will be a part of a movement to further
the kingdom of God in this precious region of the world.  Read more…
 
 
 


 

Pioneer Africa

During
your World Race, your team will take a month to “Ask the Lord” for a
new mission field. He may lead you to a location developing, growing
and booming or He may lead you to a land untouched by the World Race or
even Christianity as a whole.  It will be a time to listen to the voice
of the Lord and, with true abandon, follow Him into the wild blue
yonder.

 
Vietnam
Leaving
the Caribbean, the team will cross the Pacific and land in a whole new
world. The country of Vietnam has been under communist rule for decades
and the oppression has taken its toll through seasons of warfare and
rebuilding. The government is adamantly against religious freedom and
as the country suffers in Buddhist bondage, the light of the Christian
remnant shines as a candle in the darkness. Read more…

Cambodia
Fifty
years ago, Cambodia saw one of the most devastating genocides in
history. The Khmer Rouge slaughtered nearly two million people – 1/3 of
the country’s population at the time. In 24 hours cities were emptied,
left to be ghost towns. The nation has been in constant upheaval until
recently. The strength and resiliency of the Cambodian people is
inspiring.  Be a part of holding orphans, born into a new era; meeting
felt needs in some of the worst slums in the world; and church planting
with an adolescent generation on the verge of religious revolution. Read more…



 

Thailand

Even
though the official law states that prostitution is illegal, it is
estimated that nearly 2 million women and men engage in this practice
daily thus creating the lucrative sex industry of Southeast Asia. In
addition to reaching out to the rural communities of Thailand, we go to
the streets, into the darkest of spiritual environments to share what
is most needed: hope. By helping women learn practical vocational
skills and providing an alternative form of income, the face of
Thailand’s premiere sex industry is being changed one life at a time. Watch more…
