Many of you have asked which countries we’re going to and now I can finally answer your question. Sort of. Here’s our itinerary as of now, but keep in mind (as I have to) that it could change at any time.
Criteria for Selecting the World Race Route
- Where is the Lord working? Where is the Holy Spirit on the move?
Where was there maximum ministry impact and good fruit in previous
years? - Places where we have established partnerships and logistical help
- Poorest of the poor – God uses the poor to initiate us
- Logistical considerations – congruence
- Weather & time of year
Preliminary route:
Swaziland
South Africa
Mozambique
Thailand
Myanmar/Cambodia
China (November and December)
Philippines
Latin America (Peru?)
Latin America (Nicaragua?)
Latin America (Mexico?)
Lauren made a great map (thanks Lauren!).
Thank you all for your prayers. Please remember to pray for my family as well. I leave in one week! I fly in to Altanta on Tuesday (June 5th) where I’ll meet up with my teammates. At 6:45 that night we’ll fly out together headed for Johannasburg, South Africa (we probably have a layover but I don’t know where). From South Africa we’ll travel (I think by bus) to Swaziland to begin our 2 weeks of training. After training, we’re off!
