I ‘ve been itching to travel and see my Race buddies again,
so October became road trip reunion time (Month 13)!
so October became road trip reunion time (Month 13)!
I picked up Laura in Ohio, and we visited Jeff and Sharon in Kentucky, and John in North Carolina.
But the highlight of the trip was being back in Gainesville, GA
for the World Race training camp for the January 2010 squads.
Literally half my G squad (25 of us!) was there to serve alongside the AIM staff, and
I also finally got to meet, in person, some other Race alumni whom I have blog-stalked!
We quickly fell right back into the natural rhythm of ministering together in community:
encouraging each other up and having fun!
We did a lot of behind the scenes tasks like cleaning and setting up,
but we were also fortunate enough to spend time building relationships with these future Racers,
to hear their stories, answer their questions,
pray for them, worship with them, and just love on them!
pray for them, worship with them, and just love on them!
Their lives are about to be “wrecked” in ways they can’t even begin to suspect,
and they are going to encounter the living God in deep and powerful ways.
They are hungry for it, and the Spirit is moving!

Can you believe it?!
There are almost 120 new Racers going out onto the field in January!
And there are FIVE other squads already out there!
They have simply responded to God’s call, stepping out in faith to make a big impact on the world.
So many lives are being transformed through the power of grace!
The next group leaves in July… Do you want to join them?!
We were created for relationship, and I am so blessed to be part of this World Race community
which reminds me that I am an anointed child of God and that He is crazy in love with me;
and where it is considered normal Christian living
to listen to the voice of the Lord and to prophesy life over each other,
to dance for deliverance and to walk in freedom!
Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken,
let us be thankful, and worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
for our God is a consuming fire.
(Hebrews 12:28-29)
Thanks to Angi Francesco, Sara Choe, and several of the January 2010 Racers for most of these photos!
