I was asked by one of my prayer partners to write down the top 10 reasons why I feel God is calling me to go on The World Race. So here they are:

10. To walk a life similar to Jesus.
9.   To live a life of adventure and excitement.
8.   To get away from the comforts of home.
7.   To teach me to live a life of simplicity.
6.   To learn to live in God’s word
5.   To experience the world and culture outside of my own
4.   To learn to love unconditionally.
3.   To learn to be not so self centered.
2.   To learn to serve others

Here’s a great quote from a friend of mine:
“If you don’t want your life radically changed by God, don’t go on a mission trip.” – Rey Anasco

So here is my last reason for going on this mission trip.

1. To be radically changed by God, and to radically change the lives around me.
