Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

Few days ago I went on the transform outreach and it was just me alone with a girl from ICM Jean. Transform is when we go to the different communities outside the city and see how the resipients are doing asking them questions how what they think about the program and if the program helps them better their lifestyles. So we went about and hour outside the community and the truck drops me and Jean off and we sit in this hut waiting for the pastor to take us to the houses then he gets there minutes later so we go to the peoples houses and ask them questions and pray for them it was really awesome the people were great kids were so adorable it was a good time, also a big change for me cause I was by myself and it was way out of my comfort zone so that was good. 


I also really enjoyed the time alone and getting to know Jean more, shes awesome human being! So after visiting the houses we went back to the hut and the pastor taught a valuse lesson, preached the word, Jean taught them about Dengue Fever and I shared a little testimony it was a good time there. So after everything was over there were 2 ladies, the pastor, Jean and me waiting for the others to come and pick us up which was about a 2 hour wait which was fine… it is the world race! 

So they were all asking me questions the most famous question here is are you single its pretty funny and asking my when im going to get married and to who and all those fun questions. Also what are my life goals and what im going to do after the race. All i could say is whatever God wants my life in His hands, and that I dont really have any specific plans yet just whatever God put in my path and litterally their mouths were dropped to the floor they kept asking the same questions over and over in disbelief that I dont have any life plans just to be here on the world race. Im just here in the Philippines trusting God is going to take care of me, then the pastor says your crazy… what are you going to do. 

Then all of a sudden reality hits me so hard I couldnt speak I couldnt help to think like yeah this is a little insane im on the other side of the world, with no family, no friends, 7 people ive only known for 3 weeks, have no idea where the rest of my team, with people I hardly know, In a hut….. and im thinking to myself like WHOA what am I doing here this is insane and I felt like God was saying to me like this is what faith is, this is what it really is to rely on God alone and to be obedient to Him and go where he tells me to go. When to stop, Go and yeild to His calling. Realizing this scared me but in an exciting way, just like God called abraham to walk by faith and go where God told him to go, God called he answered. God called I answered and He gets all the praise because without Him none of this would have happend. He gave me the courage and strength, if he can do this for me a girl from a small community who use to be quiet, shy, scared He can and will do it for you. I promise you that! by the Grace of God i am where i am today all because of Him.. My abba! My Father! because Im his beloved and He is mine.
