Friday was my last day serving a church, org or ministry… on The World Race
I wanted to just give you a little run down of the surreal (because yesterday was the one year anniversary of when I went to training camp for the race), and yet so real (because this race has been undoubtedly life- transforming) day.
This is Ben. He is the manager of all things Kawan. Sweet man who loves God dearly.He spoke a bit like the wise turtle from Kung Fu Panda. That is the breakfast that we serve the people with in the morning.
“Good morning”.. “Welcome.” (smile real big).. “How are you?”
After we served them breakfast, we broke off into various activities.. talking with them, cooking the lunch in the back, and a much needed task, that our team helped with, was finishing the last of the PAINTING upstairs. That is where future teams will be able to stay.
We got to work…
And we finished!
But what do you do with a pan full of paint, and no more walls left?
naturally….
It was a hard-working and fun, last day of ministry on The World Race. I would say it is a good representation of how the race has been for me this past year…
Hard-Work
Messy
Friends
Fun
Joy
And a Whole New Wall..clean and ready for action
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.” 2 Tim 4:7
By His amazing grace alone…
What a race it has been.. thank you so much for running alongside me.
I head out to another part of Malaysia tomorrow, to meet up with the rest of the squad for debriefing and a couple days of rest.
Then I head back home to the states!
I’m sure I’ll have a couple more blogs come out of me this last week.. especially since I have yet to reach my 8 blog quota for the month =)
My squadmate Will Diefenbach (williamdiefenbach.theworldrace.org) made this video about one of our days “teaching” two children..
this video may be worth watching if you have 2:44 and want to see random things…like me slipping and him banging his head on a lowered gate..enjoy. =)
See you soon <3
