It’s been 11 months since we launched four more squads into the nations, and now it’s time for second generation U, V, W, and X squads to come home.
During their time on the field, these Racers have been stretched and challenged. They’ve been pushed and pulled out of their comfort zones, had many once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and witnessed things that have changed their life and view of this world forever.
For many of them, it’s been a life-changing year and they are not coming back the same person who left last September. For others, it’s been a year of confirmation, as the Lord has pushed them into deeper confidence that they are who he created them to be. However this year has gone, we’re so proud of how they’ve allowed the Lord to work in and through them and we’re ecstatic to finally welcome them home.
These amazing Racers are still processing their Race and will continue to do so for many months to come, but here’s a little glimpse of the things they’ve seen, experienced, and done since we sent them out to the nations.
