On the World Race, our routes can change in a moment. We're told to hold our routes lightly, because God can and will change them to suit HIS purpose and will, and not ours. Sometimes route changes are hard, as we give up expectations and dreams for different countries. But sometimes they're just AWESOME! Such was our route change tonight. We knew a route change was coming, since the parents who came to Launch were told that none of the squads are going to East Africa for awhile. There have been some security concerns, as well as some instances of Racers contracting extremely bad cases of malaria. So we knew that at least three countries were getting changed. Rumors flew as we heard different theories about where we would go, and as our squad leaders (who can't keep secrets…sorry Zach and Hailey!) leaked some hints. We had to wait in anticipation until tonight to find out what our new route would be, and I can tell you with complete confidence that it is AMAZING and probably one of the best routes the World Race has ever had! I am SO excited to walk in God's will in each of these countries and to bring His Kingdom to the people in them! So, without further ado, our new route is……
1. China (We fly out TOMORROW at 1:30…be praying for travel mercies!)
2. Thailand
3. Cambodia
4. Malaysia
5. JAPAN!!!!! (This is a brand new country for the World Race, and I'm so pumped to be a part of setting up ministry in this country!)
6. Albania
7. Bulgaria
8. Romania
9. TURKEY!!!!
10. SWAZILAND!!!!!
11. SOUTH AFRICA!!!!
I'm so excited to share what God does on our route! My squad is so incredible, and I'm so blessed to be on the Race and following God's will for my life. Get ready for a wild ride! Thanks for following along! Guess now I'll have to draw some new Mouse drawings…..
