Many people have been asking me, “What exactly are you going to be doing on the World Race?”.
To be honest, I don’t really know.
I don’t know any details about what type of ministry we will be doing in each location or what part of the countries we will be working in or what kind of housing we will have. I don’t know what churches or ministries we will be partnering with or if I will have running water and electricity or if we will be in the cities or rural areas because those aren’t the most important things about this trip.
I only know the most important things about what I will be doing on the Race, and I would be glad to share them with you.
I know that I will bring identity to the fatherless.
(In India, the Dalit, or “untouchables”, are considered the lowest of the low in the caste system. Dalits are considered worthless and useless, they are often illegally discriminated against. There are roughly 166 million Dalits living oppressed in India today.)
I know that I will bring truth to deception.
(When it comes to religion, the people of Nepal are 80% Hindu, 10% Buddhist, 5% Muslim and only 1% Christian.)
I know that I will bring freedom to the chained.
( In Thailand, it’s estimated that 2 million women and children are living as forced prostitutes in the sex industry.)
I know that I will bring life where death has reigned.
(1.5 million people died at the hands of Pol Pot in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge of the 1970’s. The emotional scars are still evident throughout the country.)
I know I will bring love to the broken.
(Vietnam is still a socialist nation after it’s fall to communism in 1975. The people are restricted and oppression against Christians is present)
I know I will bring peace to turmoil.
(Rwanda has suffered many government changes and unrest within the ethic groups for generations. The last government control change brought death to 800,000 people in the genocide of 1994)
I know I will bring joy to sadness.
(Northern Uganda has suffered violence from the LRA for years. The Invisible Children are the children who have been abducted to work for the LRA, some 30,000 being from Uganda.)
I know I will bring healing to the sick.
( HIV/AIDS is the number one cause of death in Kenya.)
I know I will bring hope to the hopeless.
( Lithuania has the highest suicide rate in the entire world.)
I know that I will be bringing all these things, because I know Jesus will be with me. Jesus brings identity, truth, freedom, life, love, peace, joy, healing and hope wherever He goes.
Where I go, the spirit of God goes because he lives inside me. He will be the one doing all these things because He is the one who is sending me.
Will you be a part of what He is doing in all the world? To help send me on the World Race and at the same time send the love of God to the corners of the earth, click “Support Me” on the left hand side of this page. Thank you so much to those who have already given!
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full.”
-John 10:10
