Taken from the Worldrace home page.. Training camp is the following: My teammates and I (squad d!) will come together for a week of intense preparation for my journey. Throwing away my expectations because what I think I may need for a trip of this magnitude is probably not what I will end up experiencing at Training Camp.
This week will be filled with cultural training (how to dress, eat, communicate) and ministry skills training. We’ll ask questions such as:
– What is the Gospel?
– How can relationships open doors to introducing people to Christ?
– How will the Spirit of God lead us to these opportunities?
The first thing we are going to do is shrink your world.
– Who are you?
– Who does God intend you to be?
– How has your journey brought you here?
Next we help grow your world back the right way – by bringing those supporting you into your sphere of relationship.
– Who are you traveling alongside?
– What does God-centered community look like?
– What can your friends and family do to support this endeavor?
Finally, as we look at the final expansion of your world we begin to discuss the Kingdom of God.
The world is so much bigger than we give it credit for. We’ll discuss the underground church, the legitimate travesty that is human trafficking, the AIDS epidemic in the countries of Africa and the desperate need for churches around the world.
This week is not for the faint of heart. Come ready to rough it, get your hands dirty, live in close quarters with people that will soon be considered family and come ready to allow the Spirit of God to move in a new way.
Read this testimony: God broke me. It was the most horrifying, yet amazing, thing I have ever experienced. He knew that if I did not allow healing for the pain in my heart now, I would be of no use to him out in the world. I would always have this part of me I could not turn over to him, and he wants all of me. Lindsey McDonald, September 2007
