Last November I visited my friend’s youth group, and there was a young man who was heading to Isreal for a mission trip. He explained to me about the mission, and while he was telling me, I fell in love with missions trips. Missions trips was the last thing on my mind, but it seemed to be a great idea. I left the youth group and I began to do research on missions trips. I saw the World race video and I watched it but it was the most boring video I’ve watched in a while. I mean my spirit didn’t seem to connect with the video. But I continued to look for missions trips, but I couldn’t find the right mission for me. So after a while looking for one, I surrendered my search to God. I said “God find me a mission trip” I wanted to serve and “Go” like Mathew 28:18 tells me. So I stopped looking. Three months ago, I couldn’t sleep; so I woke up in the middle of the night around 4:12ish and I turned on my computer and opened my browser. I found myself on the World race website. At the time I didn’t really care, because I had watched this video months ago and I hated it. So I clicked the play button, and the music began to connect to my Spirit. In the video they is the girl who’s packing and when she leaves the house, I began to cry. The whole video ended and my tears where falling like snow flakes. It was the most beautiful video I’ve watched in a while. And don’t forget this was the same video that I watched in 2013 and hated it so much. I finished watching that video; with tears in my eyes and I said to God “I want this”. I went on my knees and began to pray. I signed up for the trip next morning. And Now I am a World Racer.
You see the Holy Spirit led me to my computer that night. I had no intention of visiting the World Race. But God knew what he was up to. He wanted me in this trip, so he prepared me for all this months until he found the right time, the right team, and the right mission. I didn’t put myself into this mission but God Chose me and YOU to serve him. Lives are going to be changed forever and that includes ours. Our knees will bow and our tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
Be Blessed
