Why the World Race?
Something was missing in my life. I was searching where to go and what to do. I kept feeling God was telling me “GO! SEE! DO!” ….What God!!? Where God!?! How God?!!
I looked into joining the military….didn’t feel right.
I looked into moving close to family in Texas….didn’t feel like the right time.
I looked into joining the Peace Corps ….didn’t feel right.
I looked into mission trips overseas. ….”If not now, then WHEN?” I heard God nudge…reminding me of my long lost dream. Yes. Missions… This felt right.
So, overseas missions…. Where? When? How? How long?
Every trip I looked into was good but didn’t feel “right.” I wanted a christian centered mission. I wanted more than a week or two. I wanted more than one community. I wanted more.
The World Race. 11 months in 11 different countries doing anything where there is a need: Teaching English, sharing the gospel, growing crops, construction, caring for orphans, offering fellowship and friendship. There are many needs and I CRAVE to do them all. I CRAVE to live like Jesus did. Denying myself, pushing myself, growing myself in and with God. I have heard God’s encouragement. I will rest in Him and trust Him with my life….11 months on the Race just a taste of our adventure.
January 2016 I will be leaving. The places my squad and I are to go are: South Africa, Botswana, Madagascar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala.
Please understand. This dream I have will not happen without you and your support!! Please consider supporting me financially and/or spiritually as I prepare to leave.
