It has been 309 and nine days since I have left the states to journey on this trip called the World Race. What I have seen, what I have experienced and lived through has imprinted on my heart. How the Lord has touched my life and will continue to impact me is beyond my words to explain. But the one thing that has challenged me the most, shown the most love, given me grace in the areas that weren’t always needed, is my team. I only have 22 more days to live life with my team in these circumstances and this season of my life and I couldn’t be anymore honored to share my gratitude about six amazing teammates.
IAN: The Lord has given him endless energy that sometimes surpasses my knowledge of understanding. He is always open to new things and how the Lord can shape and mold to look more like Jesus. The Lord has made him to have a passion for deep relationships and it has been a blessing to see him walk in that.
LIZ: She has an amazing laugh. The Lord has created her heart to know scripture and the word of God and this year she not only knows it by heart, she is living that with her life. She has been gifted with a heart to share the word of God with anyone and she is not afraid of rejection. She listens to teh Lords voice in her life and is obedient to his calling.
Marisa: Has an outstanding gift of Faith. And through that faith, her love for the Lord, her grace that overflows from her life is so powerfully displayed in her life. With her funny sense of humor she always has our team laughing. She has been an awesome example to me this year and truly shown me how grace is given.
Janina: She is loved by the Lord and it is continually shown by how she supports and gives to her team. The Lord has gifted her with a heart to connect with the hearts of others and show them how to see Christ. She has shown nothing this year but how to lay herself down before the Lord.
Emily: Has a heart to serve others and care for their needs. To see her growth over the past 10 months with the Lord has bright light to my life and the team. Having her by my side this year has not only brought trustworthiness through her friendship but tears in my eyes from laughter. She is an extraordinary women of God.
JACOB: A man of God who goes after the heart of God, that many people don’t get the opportunity to see or be in the everyday life of watching. He has a heart that brings peace to others and he is powerfully gifted in bringing the Word of God. At times he has the team searching for more ways to bring God glory and other times laughing.
this is my team and there are so many more words that could express who they are to me and who the Lord says they are. But I hope you got a little glimpse of the people that I have been able to live life with these past 7 months and can’t wait to be apart of their lives as we head our own ways.
Well officially me and my team are headed to our ministry sight to start our last 19 days of ministry together. As for now we will not have internet, so this is likely the last time I will post until I am safely at home. Please continue to be in prayer for my team and our squad as we finish our last month of ministry and begin to process our year and transition back to home. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
