I have now met my Team: The Surrendered. Please be in prayer for us this coming year as we all step out on to the mission field for the 11 month journey together, for the first time! We will be leaving home on September 2nd, 2014. To attend our last American experience (Called LAUNCH) as we all worship together with other squads: H, I, J, K ( my squad), L and Gap year A and B in Atlanta prior to departure.

The one thing that I am asking for prayers as the journey is getting closer and closer is to simply allow for me to not be selfish and allow the lord to show me his direction on this journey. It is important for me to put my personal agenda aside. It isn’t a vacation! I am leaving and going on the mission field.
My squad and I are going to be under the devils attack over the next few weeks prior to leaving and over the next year and it is important for me to stay strong and examine my walk with Christ!
When walking with God I won’t know what is coming next, even though I want to, because just like training camp I probably wouldn’t believe it. So, this year I am going to be vulnerable and allow God to work through me while being vulnerable on the mission field.
The Lord is faithful and shows up in the most amazing ways but He calls us to follow and obey Him by faith. That means that I won’t ever have a blueprint/ checklist for my life and that’s okay. He has far better things in store for me than I could ever plan for myself.
So that is what I will do. I will obey and depend on Him, by faith, when He calls me into situations that I am not prepared for. I will follow Him to areas for which I don’t have a schedule, and I will go where He is leading me because I know that He will grow and challenge me the way He desires. Dependence on Him is what the World Race is about.
Yes, it will be difficult for me to break my American routine but the intimate relationship with God is so much greater than my agenda.
P.S. I am only 6,000 away from being fully funded for the mission field, prior to departure. Please prayerfully consider supporting me on the worldrace!
Much Love,
Court 🙂
