Applying for the World Race is not something I thought was in my future. I did not even know it existed until three months ago. I never pictured myself going into ministry at all. I thought I would graduate with my degree in social work and live very intentionally here in the States.
However, in the last semester of my senior year, I realized that working 9 to 5 is not for me. Through much prayer and guided leadership, God showed me His plans for my future. It was not a career in social work (though he intends to use that degree), but a life completely abandoned to the commission of Christ (which is Matthew 28:18-20). This life is a life of a missionary.
When praying for next steps in this missionary journey, a friend showed me the World Race. The World Race gives opportunities to connect with believers in 11 different countries for an entire year. I applied in obedience to the command in Matthew 28. He said All Nations, so All Nations it is. I hope that the World Race will not only grow my relationship with Jesus, but also give clarity to where God wants to use me for kingdom multiplication.
I have been holding back sharing this next step of my journey. I have my struggles and doubts. I still struggle owning my call. I struggle counting the cost. I doubt that Christ loves me and cares for my whole heart, especially the deepest wounds. I do not think I am capable to do the things He has called me to, but I know that the One who calls can do all things.
I was reminded this week, that this is not my journey or mission; It belongs to Christ. I should not let the fear or any struggle of flesh, hold me back from declaring His message. When I share about becoming a missionary and about going on the World Race, I am sharing His heart for all nations. I ask that you would consider supporting me on this journey. It may not be perfect or look pretty, but it will be an adventure for all of us.
Please pray for my heart to trust God fully in all of this.
Grace,
Mollie Faust
