The big question that all World Racers get is “Why are we doing this trip?” or “Why would you give up all the comforts of home to leave for close to a year?”.My answer and I’m sure every other racer’s answer is simply this, because Jesus asked me to. The answer may vary but it comes down to that simple answer. We’re doing this because our Lord and Savior asked us to. For we are not called to a life of comfort, but we are called to a life as servants the the Lord God Almighty. We are his servants and we are his disciples and when He calls us to get up and go, we go because we are talmidim.
“And through all of this, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, no fear, no
insecurity, no doubt, no hesitation that will ever, ever stop us. Because we
are the sons of the living God, because we are the children of the Almighty,
because we are the residents of the kingdom of heaven, and we are soldiers in
an army of the immortal. And when we speak life, life happens, and when we
speak healing, healing happens, and when we speak truth, truth happens. And
when we go take what we found to a dead world, we’ll see it come to life again,
and when we take what we found to a hopeless world, we’ll see hope come back.
We’ll see the heart of our world start beating again, and we’ll see the color
come back into people’s faces. Absolutely nothing will ever stop that.
Mountains will move before us, and oceans will part before us, and the dead
will raise before us. And the world will know that our God is the God that
heals, and our God is a God that lives, and our God is a God that loves, and
like anything that anyone has ever felt before, because we are fearless, and
because we are His hands, and because we are His feet. Forever, and ever.”
