It has been a couple weeks now since I first mentioned the next adventure the Lord has for me: WR America! I’ve finally had time to sit down and hash this all out! Yay! I’m so excited to share more about the calling the Lord has given me!
For those of you who are a bit confused, SURPRISE! The Lord has opened up a door for me to continue my Race next year with World Race America, another 11 month mission trip! The Lord has done some incredible things in my own life and the lives of those around me. And I’m so excited that He has called me into yet another season of growing in intimacy with Him and in community with all His children from all over the world, America included!
So what exactly are the details of this trip? I’m glad you asked!
I’m launching yet again in January. I arrive back in the States just before Thanksgiving, so that doesn’t give me much time in the comforts of home before heading out. This is also all the time I have for meeting any of you for coffee or lunch, but I would love to! So please let me know when you’d like to get together and talk about life! I’d love to hear all about yours!. After being home for about 6 weeks, I launch with World Race America. Which is absolutely nuts!
As for my route, here is the tentative list of States! I say that because literally anything can happen. You never know. But as it stands now, we are planning to visit 34 different states! This is my current route:
- Georgia
- Tennessee
- Mississippi
- Alabama
- Tennessee (2nd time)
- North Carolina
- Virginia
- Delaware
- Pennsylvania
- Maryland
- West Virginia
- Massachusetts
- Connecticut
- New Hampshire
- Vermont
- New York
- Ohio
- Michigan
- Indiana
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Wisconsin
- Minnesota
- North Dakota
- South Dakota
- Colorado
- Idaho
- Washington
- Oregon
- California
- Arizona
- New Mexico
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- Arkansas
- Tennessee (3rd time)
- Georgia (from start to finish)
I’m not sure which cities we will be in or when exactly we will be there, but I will for sure keep you updated! And it will be even easier to do so since WiFi and data are so easy to find in the States compared to where I’ve been this year! If you see that I’m coming near you on my route, PLEASE let me know as I get closer to you! I would love to talk with you and hear all about all the exciting things in your life as well! Let’s grab lunch or coffee sometime! I mean it. Just let me know and we’ll plan for it!
Part of the heart behind this mission is to pour into World Race alumni and encourage them as they continue to pursue living for the kingdom and bringing the Lord into every aspect of their lives. But we will also partner with local churches and ministries, spreading the gospel through evangelism, VBS, camp ministry, volunteering, and seeing people as the Lord sees them to be: someone worth loving and even dying for. Our goal isn’t to bring judgment or shame to anyone but rather to empower them for freedom by sharing our own stories and what all the Lord has saved us from!
I’m so super excited for this journey and am absolutely honored that the Lord is leading me here. But there is still quite a bit of funding I will need before I can get there! So I’m asking each one of you to consider supporting this mission! I am a little less than halfway to my first deadline of $1,000 by September 26! May the Lord bless you for all the support you’ve already shown me!
In all things, be blessed!
