What’s Next!

I have been back from the field now for about a month and while the pace has been a little slower than what I have been used to God has shown me a lot of grace and allowed me to push forward into his next step. A couple weeks ago I went to a conference called SEARCHLIGHT  put on by Kingdom Dreams http://kingdom-dreams.org/ who’s purpose is to empower alumni racers in figuring out their God given dreams and equip them with the resources necessary to achieve them. I wasn’t planning on going, but I felt God coninutally reminding me of it so I eventually signed up. I prayed that God would just show me the next step in how he wanted to continue his work in me.

 

He did that sooner than expected and really pulled my towards Squad Leading during the Awakening reunion a couple nights before. While I had thought of Sqaud Leading before I had always brushed it off because of certain fears and lack of faith, but I took a step and applied and God started confirming why he had put this on my plate. Before the week was over Squad Leading went from being a next step to becoming a calling that I was passionate about.

 

 

This last year I was on S Squad which was composed of 61 World Racers who were on the field for 11 months. For our first 4 months we were lead by 3 wonderful, beautiful, Godly (just in case they’re readin this) people who had done the Race before and decided to come back out to teach and mentor us so we could better do God’s work around the world. These leaders are responsible for the squad’s training previous to their trip and for raising up new sqaud leaders during the four months they are with the squad so that they can leave the their sqaud more self efficient.

 

This is exactly what I will be doing and come this January 2012 me and two other alumni racers Lindsay Dobner and Hannah Olsen will lead out a group of world changing men and women! This is such a privilege and honor to be such a huge part of God’s work in this way.

 

One of my greatest concerns of going out on another trip was not being able to invest enough. Because of this I was praying into a longer term commitment specifically in Europe. While I think this will happen soon, God clearly showed me that he wanted me to invest in and learn how to lead my generation in bringing God’s Kingdom like no one has ever experienced before. This is why I am Squad Leading.
