For the past couple of days, I’ve been down in Atlanta, Georgia for training before Launching on The World Race. Here, is where I said “goodbye” to my family. This is where I said “bye” to the life I’ve ever known.
“Caleb, aren’t you just being dramatic? How much could actually happen over this next year? Can’t you just pick everything up from where you left off?”
Maybe.
World Race is only a program, if you allow it to only be one. I didn’t sign up for a program. I didn’t sign up for a tourist trip around the world. I didn’t sign up for a christian dating service. I didn’t sign up to have the world be focused only on me. I signed up because I love God. Don’t get me wrong, I am excited for all the adventures/new places. I mean, who wouldn’t want to go on a safari or climb Machu Pichu? They just aren’t the reason why I’m going on The World Race. The phrase I keep saying and hearing over and over is: Baruch haba b’shem Adoni (blessed is He who comes in the name of The Lord). I love it. Jesus says in Matt. 23 that we will not see Him again until His people say “blessed is He who comes in the name of The Lord”. I want to bless the name of The Lord with my team and every believer (current and future) across the world.
“Can’t you just pick up everything from where you left off?”
I can’t pick everything back up because I won’t be the same! How can you pick something up in the living room when you moved to a completely different street? How could I not come back different? How can I not come back more loving than when I left?
We leave in a matter of hours for our first travel day to Medellin, Colombia! I’m so excited to finally start this adventure. I can only stay on The Race by your amazing, generous, donations! Every tiny bit helps. 100% of the funds donated goes toward spreading Jesus.
