Hellooo and Welcome to my Blog! My name is Ben Bartel and I am really excited that you are joining me on the journey. I am a Sophomore/Juniorish at Charleston Southern University. I heard about the World Race, when I was 8 years old. I was in Croatia on a 6 week long mission trip with my family. We just happened to run into real life Racers! Since that day the World Race is something I’ve always dreamt about doing. I am at a point in my life were I believe I need to stop saying and DO. I have a desire to live out Acts 1:8; “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” I am super stoked for this opportunity & can’t wait to make a difference for the sake of the Gospel!
