I cannot yet describe to you what these next few months will entail. So, I’ll leave it to an expert! Eric Hanson, just returned home after a year abroad with The World Race. This is his account of spending a year at the feet of Jesus.
I have set my feet upon five continents over the course of this year. I have seen the
wonders of the world, those widely recognized, but many more that only a few on this earth have ever seen. And every time I look around, I wonder, “Is this really my life?”
Yesterday, I was standing on top of some snowy peak I do not know the name of, overlooking mountain range after mountain range, struck by awe.
I have seen miracles. I have seen the unexplainable. I have eaten food that should not have fed three or four people, yet strangely fed 11, with enough for seconds. I have had nowhere to sleep at night one minute, and the next, I’m holding the keys to a house. 
I have walked in to a village where there were no believers, and left with 25 new brothers and sisters. I have seen people who have not eaten in a week, erupt into dancing and laughter. I have seen the joy in the eyes of a teenage boy whose one eye did not work only minutes before.
I have heard the shouts of praise of a woman who had lain on a mat and could now walk. I have seen an old man, whose heart had hardened from 60 years of rejection, melt because of the love of a few strangers, and the One who died for him.
I have entered a monastery and left a month later, with a dozen new friends who I laughed with every day. 
I have been a part of the story of a man who had a terminally ill wife who lived just long enough to hear the Good News, and then passed away three days later.
I have spent a week with a man, who a few months before had been a drug addict and a criminal, had an encounter with the living God, left all the lies, and decided to rebuild his crumbling marriage.
I have loved an orphan who had been abused and abandoned, but rescued and adopted into a new family. I have seen the obedience of a young man and his wife entirely transform a community in the jungle. I have worshiped in secret where it is illegal, lifting up praises so that only my Father can hear.
But more important than all of these things, I have had my own encounter with the Living God, and realized that God cares more about my heart than if a woman’s legs function. And that every day, every single day, I have the extreme privilege to see the Lord in a new way, and be brought closer, and closer, and closer to Him, because He knows my name.
It’s not about the World Race; it’s not about locations or vocations. Its about opening your eyes and embracing the love that El Shaddai has for you. And then you turn around, and share that same love with the next person in front of you.
Father God, I thank you for your endless Love, and your infinite desire to be known by your chidren. Continue to guide me and teach about YOUR strength, as I dare to find out what it truely means to love YOU! Amen and Love Always, Angie
I share this testimony with you, so that you may know in advance, the treasures that await me and many others on this misssion. My hearts desire is that you, my friends and family back home, will be inspired to seek the Living God like never before, and be able to hear God’s heart beat for the nations and especially for YOU!
