My heart is delighted. This morning I had a wonderful reminder of why I am where I am today, and why I do what I do…
A beautiful woman of God and WR staff, sent an encouraging and thankful email to the rest of the AIM staff this morning. She highlighted a blog by Courtney Folwick, a current World Racer. Courtney is experiencing freedom in Christ in a powerful way…
excerpt from email:
” I think sometimes we have become immune to these words. We hear them all the time, but have you let it sink in lately?
her.life.is.changed.
gone forever is insecurity, fear, rejection issues, and so much more.
changed. forever.
because of Jesus and the World Race.
real, honest-to-goodness life change is happening out there. real people with real problems are finding real freedom.
It is not a marketing ploy, a catchy phrase we throw around as WR-language, or an exaggeration. it is her real life.”
I read Courtney’s blog and was moved to tears. I remember being in that sweet spot of unleashed freedom. I remember seeing team mates on the World Race, and team mates on Real Life find that spot too. It is life altering. And it’s not just a personal experience… people- friends, family and strangers around them- are affected by what God is doing in their hearts, its a ripple affect thing.
I have an incredible passion for ministry to the nations, but even more so, the impartation of God’s heart to see my generation discover freedom in Christ, has conquered me. I help with program logistics because I believe in mobilizing my peers. I lead trips because I believe in serving through discipleship. I run after Christ with every part of my life because I believe that in doing so, lives will be changed and freedom will invade the hearts of men and women around the globe.
Psalm 24 “… This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your Face.”
