While I was on the field last year, I did my best to keep this blog updated and to share Kingdom stories with you as they were happening. But let’s face it…between the questionable Internet connections we had in many countries, our busy schedules, and just the overwhelming amount of cool things I was living and experiencing, some stories slipped through the cracks and went unshared. Until now. In my new blog series, Untold Stories, I will share some of the moments of the race with you that I didn’t have a chance to share while on the field. I have thought of quite a few things that have gone unsaid, so get ready! 

In this first installment I want to share a video of one of my favorite moments of the entire race with you. It came at the very end, just before boarding our last flight home to Los Angeles. V Squad met up with T Squad in the airport in Guangzhou, and a spontaneous worship session erupted, drawing groups of Chinese people and other travelers to watch, listen, take pictures, and film us. In the last year we have learned that worship is a weapon in the battle of spiritual warfare. If you take 84 racers who have just completed a year of traveling the world and seeing God open amazing doors through the power of praise, bring them into China, a nation known for restricting the religious expression of its citizens, and set them loose to do what would normally be illegal by openly praising God with people watching, it’s pretty sweet. It’s possible that this was the first and only time many of the people watching had ever heard the name of God worshipped, and even though they may not have understood the words, truth was still spoken to them. I can’t imagine a better way to have ended the World Race with my squad than to break chains and invite God into a place where he is usually not asked to be.

In order to learn how to better share Kingdom stories in creative ways to help bring about change and justice in the world, I’m starting an 8 month apprenticeship with the World Race marketing and media team on May 7th. I’m still in need of $1,450 per month in support (total of $11,600) in order to be funded for this apprenticeship. If you would like to give a one time gift or become a monthly supporter, you can click on the Support Me tab at the top left of this blog under my picture and follow the instructions.
