Welcome to my first ever blog! I am so excited and thankful that you have taken the time to check out what’s happening in my life!
How come the World Race?
After graduating from Grand Valley State University I struggled with what I wanted to do with my life. Although I loved my job I didn’t feel as though being a bank teller was what God was calling me to do. I felt that He wanted me to serve him in a big way. Then a friend of mine mentioned the World Race to me. I researched, prayed, and prayed some more to see if this was what the Lord was calling me to do. I felt called to serve so I applied and now am heading out in September 2010 to serve for 11 months.
What is the World Race?
The World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different
countries around the world, and it’s not your typical missions
experience. It’s a way for young adults to abandon a traditional
lifestyle in exchange for a dramatic paradigm shift. Through
adventure, ministry, community, and self-discovery, World Racers
develop broken hearts that propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom
around the globe. The best part of the World Race is it’s merely the
beginning of a life-long journey.<!– The World Race is more than a Christian mission trip; it’s a year of self-discovery and real, authentic empowerment. Do you have what it takes to go on one of our upcoming races?
Fill out a quick application and become a part of something big.
