In April of 2009 I felt the Lord calling me to leave Lee University without completing my degree and move back to Indiana to start the next chapter of my life. So I prayed, I moved, I began working and I waited.
In June 2010 after 14 months of waiting on my seemingly silent God, my friend Bethany Dragon approached me at church and told me about this amazing opportunity called the World Race. She explained what she was doing and then said, “The best advice I was given was just to apply, I think you should do the same.” So I applied, I was accepted and I started to prepare.
Today is December 14, 2010 and I still feel that same purpose and desire inside of me to build His Kingdom through the World Race trip in January, however I currently do not have the financial commitments to continue. I need $1,977 either in verbal commitments or deposited into my account by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday, December 15th to launch with my squad on January 7th. I have struggled at every turn while raising support and I truly believe that God has called me to this endeavor or else I would not be fighting so hard to go. Can you help me or do you know someone who can? First, I need prayer. Second, I need financial support. *How to Give* If you are able to give either a one time donation or commit to monthly support please contact me so that I can keep the World Race updated on my financial status. If 10 people could give or commit to only $197 today this need would be met, but ANY amount is needed and appreciated! Please share this need with anyone you know who would be interested in supporting this ministry or just making a tax deductible donation before the end of the year. I know that the World Race is what I am called to, and I believe that God will provide for all of my needs. Thank you so much for all of your support!
Peace&Love

In October 2010 I spent 10 days in the woods of Georgia getting to know my new family (U Squad) and my Heavenly Father in a whole new way. That week broke my heart for people and problems that I have always been aware of, but have chosen to ignore because these truths are overwhelming and uncomfortable: Every day millions of men, women and children are being bought and sold in slavery, both for physical labor and sexual exploitation — Every day millions of children go without food, clothing, shelter and protection — Every day people are “living” with no hope because they have never heard the name of Jesus or seen the impact He could have on their life. I have actually spent time with families who live in city dumps and played with children who live on the street, so what excuse did I have to not give everything I had to help them? None. I went to sleep every night at training camp saying to myself, “I was made for this.” I was made to be someone used by God to stop the injustice, love the unloved and be a voice for those who cannot speak. God has placed a desire and purpose inside of me that I cannot deny and my week of training camp made it clear that the World Race was so obviously my perfect fit.
