Last month we celebrated women in missions, and this month we’re giving it up for our guys! We’re having fun with images of mustaches, muscles, pipes and the iconic World Race beard. We’ve poured over blogs from men on the field along with those of the thankful ladies serving beside them. They’re stories of fun and freedom, challenge and compassion, honor and humility. And the lasting impression we’re left with is a man who looks like Jesus.
One of the themes we’ve seen is that our men love making videos of their time on the Race. These videos give glimpses into ministry and community, and show off the fun they have along the way. Below are some of our favorites!
The January 2014 B Squad spent their second month working at El Shaddai Children’s Home in Swaziland. This video, made by Doug Linstedt, does an amazing job of capturing the joy of the children and the beauty of the nation. El Shaddai is a favorite ministry of many Racers, and we think this video captures why.
Moved and inspired by the words of Walt Whitman, Owen Siebring put together a video with selected stanzas of the poem “Pioneers! O Pioneers!” He recruited the rest of the July 2013 R Squad to join him in reading the poem for him during various ministry times in India and Nepal. We hope the words inspire you!
This video was made by Scott Kwak and the men of the January 2013 M Squad as a Valentine’s Day gift. It not only showcases the love they have for their ladies, but also their killer dance moves.
We hope these videos have inspired you and made you laugh. If you want to showcase your talents while serving around the world, check out our September routes!
