THANK YOU!! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me so far on my preparation for the World Race. Whether you have been able to give financially, encourage me or pray for me, I truly appreciate it! In the past 2 months since finding out I was accepted to the World Race I have been overwhelmed and so fortunate to have such positive reactions to my news of this mission. Most all of my family and friends have been so loving and reassuring. Thank you so much! When I initially heard I had to raise $16,000 for this mission, I was very nervous and intimidated but God has shown me through many friends, family and churches that if this is Gods plan for me, he will make it happen!
Recently found out I will be part of the Z squad going on the World Race! There is about 75 people in my squad. We will all be traveling to the same countries however, we will be split into teams of about 6-10 people. The squad may be split up in each country and have teams doing different work in different locations.
In just over a month I will be going to training camp! Training camp is in Tennessee from Oct 12th-19th! At camp, I will be meeting my squad and getting to know who I will be with for 11 months. I am so excited! I will also be using my tent, sleeping bag, backpack, etc. and giving it all a test run before I commit to taking in on my 11 month journey.
Recently I have also been able to meet and talk to a couple girls who have gone on the World Race in previous years! I have been so fortunate to talk to them and hear about their experiences and advice for me. It has definitely answered my prayers and help answered many of my questions, especially when it comes to packing.
Ways you can pray for me:
Meeting my first fundraising goal- I need to have $3,500 by the end of September and I am only about $100 away 🙂 However, I still have a long way to go
Preparing for Training Camp- getting all my gear together so I can take everything necessary and test it out that week
Training Camp- That I will have a sense of peace and confidence while meeting my squad, teammates and team leaders
Safe Travel- I will be doing a lot of traveling in the months leading up to the race, to see family, friends, churches and going to camp
