you will. I feel like there is a real danger of our squad just coasting from
here on out because we feel like we have gotten the “hang of things” as
seasoned World Racers. A dynamic shift would keep us from being able to slip into
auto pilot. -Myself in Togo two months ago.
At the beginning of May we entered Nigeria with expectations
(I know, by now I should have laid those all down.) We expected quality time
with our team and with our squad, internet access, and a comfortable place to
stay for a few days while we were “debriefed” to close out our time in Togo and
begin our time in Nigeria. We did debrief as Team Jubilee, but we would soon
find out that we would not be leaving our debrief location together; we would

the World Race and having the opportunity to do life with this team for the
next few months. I believe that God is
using these people to pour gasoline on my fire and passion for Jesus Christ,
and I am praying that I will be able to do the same for them.
