Hi! I’m Gracie Justice and I am seventeen years old. Here’s a little about me if you don’t know me already! I am the oldest of three girls, Heather is 15 and Molly is 13. I’ve grown up moving and traveling so much that its practically second nature to be on the go. I lived in Boone, NC for 10 years, Pittsburgh, PA for 3 years, Kandern, Germany for 2 years, and I am going on my 3rd year in Fayetteville, NC. Being the daughter of two college level educators, has given me a passion for learning especially languages.
After living abroad and experiencing Europe’s variety of cultures, I caught what my parents call the travel bug, and I’ve loved traveling and adventuring ever since! While living in Germany, I became very involved with missions through my school and other mission organizations like Cru/Agape Europe. I adopted a good habit of being altruistic and have continued to maintain it after moving back to the United States by being involved in community service.

After my mom introduced me to the World Race this fall, this quote, along with lots of prayer, led me to decide on participating in the World Race Gap year. My passion for serving and furthering God’s kingdom has pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and take this nine month journey with the World Race. In these nine months I will be serving in Guatemala, Thailand and Malaysia, and Swaziland. I am so excited for this journey and blessed for the wonderful opportunity. I hope that you will join me in prayer and fundraising as I prepare for and participate in this exciting new chapter of my life!
All my love, Gracie
