“Purpose is the reason you journey. Passion is the fire that lights your way.”
So by now you’re probably thinking I’m crazy and I would have to say you’re right.
I’m crazy on fire for God’s love. I have always imagined traveling the world, but never knew how to/never thought it would be like this. But, guess what? I am super excited to be doing it this way! God literally spoke to me through a lovely friend of mine, telling me to not only go and be a light to a dark word, but to seek his kingdom first. These past few months I have been really seeking God first and lemme tell you, IT’S CRAZY AWESOME! I have always had a passion for loving people, praising him in song and most of all, I have always wanted to venture out into the world.
Jesus is one really cool dude. The love that he has provided to people, makes me super inspired to be just like him. Nothing stopped Jesus, he went after what God has made him for and I want my soul to do the same. Also, God has made me to be a light to others, being able to pursue his word and his love to all of the nations. One of my favorite verses that I rely on, is Philippians 4:13 which says, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” This inspires me that whatever I set my mind to, I CAN DO IT!
What is this “Race”/Where Are You Going?
The World Race Gap Year, is an amazing mission trip that last 9 months and goes to 5 different countries! The countries that I will be embarking on is Ukraine, Romania, Peru, Chile and India. This Race will start September 2017. During the race, my team will be able to simply love and serve just like Jesus. The ministry we will be doing, really depends on what the needs are in the country. It might look like preaching the gospel, lending a helping hand to churches, showing kids love, etc.
Ways to help:
1. Prayer- I believe prayer is a huge role in this process/journey. ANY prayer is helpful. Whether you pray for my needs to be met, pray for the team I will be with, my travels, etc.
2. Donations- As you might have saw, I will be needing to fund raise $15,000 in order to go on this trip. Donating is a big part of this, and I would love for you to be involved in it! Any amount will be taken, and the cost will cover all my expenses as to housing, eating, plane rides, etc.
3. Little Help- If you would like to donate any backpacking gear or any necessities I will need for this trip, feel welcomed to do so! Or even would like to help set up a fund raising idea or help send letters with me, I will gladly accept!
