Hello everyone, I am sure that most of you are either coming here from my letters or my facebook page. I appreciate all of your support so far. I thought if you were going to support me you deserve to know a little about me.
My name is Mackenzie Crow, I am 18 years old. I was adopted when I was three years old by my loving parents John and Jan Crow. I have three siblings, Joshua, Chance, and Misty and to amazing sister in laws, Shara and Sarah. I have four nephews Maverick, Marston, Marshall, and Samuel. I love being outdoors and spending time with my family and animals. I have two cats, two dogs, and one horse. If my parents would let me I would have a whole farm. This past year I have been planning on going to Liberty University in Lynchburg Virginia, I attended the online academy all four years of my high school and I thought that is where I was supposed to go. As college slowly got closer nothing felt like I was doing the right thing. I asked friends and family to pray as I prayed myself. After weeks of what felt like silence, I was reading about missions one day and tears started to fall down my face. The one thing that never failed to touch my heart was missions. When I was 13 years old I went on a mission trip to Africa with my grandmother and the second day that we were there I knew that this was my calling from God. Growing up in America we are all taught that you needed to get a good college degree and make good money so that you can pay the bills and pay for your children to grow up and go to school and do the same thing. For the longest time I thought I needed a degree to go a serve the Lord, but so clearly that day he told me you don’t need anything but a willing heart to serve me. I knew at that moment that college was not the path for me just yet. I begin searching and looking for different missions to go and serve when I came across the World Race Gap Year, I had heard about it but the daunting nine months away from home always seemed to change my mind. I prayed for God to lead me in the direction of where he wanted me to go. After talking to my advisor and counselors from school making sure I could take a year off I asked for their advice and almost all of them had heard about the World Race and encouraged me to go and do it. After all the praying and doubting and finally learning to rely on my faith here I am, about 3 months away from training camp. I am so excited for this jounrny and couldnt be more excited.
