Hey y’all! My name is Braiden Chalemin and I am PUMPED to be a part of the World Race Gap year mission trip! I am on route 2 which is going to the countries Costa Rica, Ecuador, Thailand, and Malaysia. I am so excited to see and experience the plans the Lord has for me!
My decision to apply for the World Race was made through a lot of thought and prayer. When God put the World Race on my heart I thought, “No way. This is crazy! I’ve never done anything like this!” Doubt consumed me and I thought, “There is no way I am cut out for this!” However, it continued to dwell in my heart and so I prayed about the trip, my fears, and my doubts. One day I decided to trust the Lord completely and fill out the extensive application. Through the application process I learned to trust in God even more; our relationship jumped to a whole new level, and I learned things about myself that I had never realized.
The world race will be a whole new experience for me and I am so excited to keep everyone updated on my journey across the world!
