Last Summer during a small mission trip in Mexico that I was on with my church, I fell in love with serving people. At that time I felt like God had put longer term missional work on my heart. However, I didn’t know how to begin, because I want to attend and graduate from college. As I visited colleges to attend in the fall of 2018 I was feeling excited to be a freshman and live on my own. But even though I was excited; through prayer I wasn’t feeling very led or sure about what college to attend. Then I was shown the World Race Gap Year program, and instantly felt guidance and assurance about where to go next Fall. I believe God often calls us to get uncomfortable and follow Him, despite what’s “normal”, or “safe”. So, next September I will be taking a first step towards missional work by doing the route 4 gap year race, where I will travel through Guatemala, Thailand, Malaysia, and Swaziland for nine months, spreading God’s love and serving people in every way that I am able to.
James 1:27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this : to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
