been nearly 1.5 years since I could say that America was my home; but
now I will be planting some roots for my next season in Washington
state. I spent 2010 traveling the globe doing missions with the World Race, 6 months in Spain at G42 Leadership Academy, and now devoting my time to Nations Foundation as their Director of Operations.
I spent the last week in Copperhill, Tennessee at World Race training camp where about 150 Racers from the upcoming September (“Z� & “A�) and October (“B�) 2011
squads came together to be broken, built, trained, commissioned and
released to start their incredible journey to love & serve the least
of these all over the nations for 11 months.
I
had the honor of being a trainer for “B Squad� which ended up being way
more fun & insanity than I could have ever hoped for! I watched
this group of 51 strangers start the week by surrendering their
expectations & personal agendas to the Lord; watched as they learned
to support and love each other through nights of rain, tents, tarps and
unexpected challenges; and joined with them at the end of the week to
worship God in a way that was so vulnerable and free it nearly brought
me to tears.
This week was a blessing. Not only a time to pour out to others, but a
time where God continued to speak to me about how He desires for us to
become fully alive; to burn with passion to see his love displayed here
on earth. I saw so much of God’s character displayed through B squad and
how they quickly became family; how they started to learn what it means
to unconditionally love someone; how to believe in the identities and
truth God speaks over them daily. What an honor it was to stand before
them 1.5 years after I left on the race and see the hope that they will
bring to the world. Watching them burn over the last 10 days has
increased my excitement and hope in living a life surrendered to the
Lord.
Good luck World Racers! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
You are going to light it up!!!
