Due to low wifi and my dedication to making videos lacking, I have officially made the final 5 months of my race and you can view them all right here. I truly enjoyed making these and reflecting back on all the fun memories! I hope you enjoy!
If you would like to watch my videos from the first 6 months they can be seen at these links: Month 1: India, Month 2: Nepal, Month 3: Vietnam, Month 4: Cambodia, Month 5: Thailand and Month 6: Albania
Month 7: Macedonia with Team Relentless.
This was our Ask the Lord (ATL) month. The Lord lead us to Ohrid, Macedonia, where we were able to connect with tourists and the locals, pray over the city and enjoy folk festivals every weekend.
Month 8: Bulgaria with Team No Bros
This month was manistry month for the boys, so the girls from the two co-ed teams came together to make a team. It was an amazing month spent in a small mountain town in Bulgaria. We were placed with an amazing host that treated us so well and who also runs an amazing ministry within two orphanages. We were able to treat the kids to care packages at the end of our month all because of our amazing supporters. Thank you! (The last title is supposed to say thank you, but it never saved my words) Also to protect the kids at the orphanages, their faces were not allowed to be shown.
Month 9: Zimbabwe with Team Giraffes
This was our first month as a team and our first month in Africa and it did not let us down. We were able to experience both city and bush life in Africa. We got to enjoy the company of so many different people, going house to house to pray for church members, leading church services and getting to play with the kids. To end the month our hosts treated us to a weekend in Victoria falls! It was a great month!
Month 10: Swaziland with Team Giraffes
This month I got to spend 5 days with my parents. I was able to introduce them to my squad and introduce them to the life I was living this past year. We got to work at a care point together, helping to entertain and feed 200 children daily. We also got to take part in the opening ceremonies of the new building. My team then traveled to a remote area of Swaziland and was stationed at another smaller care point, where we got to hang out with the kids every single day!
Month 11: South Africa with Team Giraffes
This was our last month on the race and we couldn’t have been placed in a better city. We were blessed to have been put right on the beach in the hands of great hosts. Myself and my teammate Anna Beth were able to volunteer at the Horse Farm just down the street from where we were staying. Here we were put in charge of doing all sorts of things; feeding, brushing, giving lessons and leading trail rides. It was one of the better places to end the race, changing up ministry and hanging out with all sorts of people. It was a great end to a great year!
