What is this World Race and what will I be doing?
The World Race is an 11 month Christian mission trip to 11 countries around the world. The cool thing about World Race is that it’s not only a mission trip, but it is also an intensive discipleship program designed to launch my generation into our specific kingdom calling. Throughout the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, minister to women and children trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restorative hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations. We will also be working with the Syrian refugees for a portion of our trip.
What type of ministry is it?
Its a nondenominational Christian organization that started about 16 years ago. It was originally founded as a Luke 10 ministry and originally followed the model of Luke 10. The first teams would go to different countries and ask God what He wanted them to do that day/ month while they were there and then they would go do it. It has changed a bit over the years but still has the same heart to reach those who haven’t had the chance to hear the Gospel, to love them and serve them. Racers live out of a single backpack for the year and just get to seek the heart of God and proclaim the Good News to those they come in contact with.
