I want
to share a couple videos with you that are a brief summary of the
year, not just for me but for our whole squad. Thanks to my friends
Emily Tuttle and Joel Dutton for creating these awesome videos! If
we had World Race Academy Awards, you guys would definitely win.
first video is “Change the World: Kingdom Stories.” Take a
minute to watch and hear some of the amazing testimonies of things
that God did around the world this year.

next video, “You Are Making Me New,” is a testimony of what God did in
each of our lives this year.

These
videos are important to me to share for a couple reasons. First of
all, I want you to see and hear how incredible God is and all the
miraculous things He did this year. Every single one of us on our
squad is changed because of this trip. There is not one person who
walked away from this the same as when they started. And not only
are our lives changed, but countless of lives around the world are
changed, as well. People were
physically
healed,
received
salvation,
rescued
from sex slavery,
given
a roof over their heads,
encouraged,
challenged,
freed,
fed,
and
loved.
We, not
just our squad but all of you, our supporters, asked for God to work
this year, and He did. He absolutely did.
I don’t
think God is finished, though. There are so many more lives He wants
to change and work in, which is just one of the reasons that I am so
excited to be squad leading in September. That’s a big part of why I wanted to share these videos with you. They are just a taste of what God has in store for upcoming squads! I know beyond a shadow of
a doubt that He is absolutely going to transform the lives of
everyone on my new squad, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.
There’s a saying that gets said around the World Race community a
lot: We want our squad’s ceiling to be the next squad’s floor.
Basically, we’re saying that as much as we grew, as deep as we went,
as challenged as we were, we want that to be just the foundation of
the squads coming after us. That they would start where we left off,
and grow that much more, go that much deeper, and be that much more
challenged.
But it’s
more than that. If we take what God is doing in our lives, and just
keep it to ourselves, what’s the point? There are so many people
around the world who need to know the love of the Father, that need
to be healed and encouraged and fed and loved. There is a generation
that is rising up to meet that challenge, and I am so pumped to get
the chance to invest in their lives as they invest in the lives of
people around the world.
“See,
I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive
it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the
wasteland.”
Isaiah
43:19
