Hello. My name is Evan Wright, I am 24 years old, and I live in Lancaster, PA. For those of you that are not familiar with Lancaster, it is home to many Amish and although I sometimes get mistaken for one, I am not.

I come from a loud and loving Italian family. I have 2 older brothers followed by 2 pretty sweet sister in-laws and 2 crazy awesome nephews. They have taught me patience and love! My family means the world to me. Missing out on family time will probably be my biggest challenge of being away for the next year.

 

I became a believer my freshman year of college and God has been rocking my world ever since. I got the opportunity to travel to India for three months with AIM after graduating from college. Ever since that trip my longing to not only return to India but also to travel the world and share the Love of Christ has grown tremendously. I refuse to live blinded and pray that God continues to open my eyes to the world around me.  

The World Race is something I wanted to do right after I graduated college but I pushed it away and thought…”I’m not ready for something like that; those trips are for the crazy extreme Christians”. Well, truth be told, I guess it looks like I am one in the same. I still cannot believe this dream has become a reality and that I depart in Jan! I am excited to get this show on the road and be completely transformed and surrounded by an amazing team of people hungry for living life to the fullest! What an amazing opportunity God has given me and each of my team members to travel the world and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Enough Said!

Peace
