Welcome to my World Race blog!!!!! First off, I would truly like to thank you for coming to this blog and helping me take on this beautiful endevor. Secondly, I understand you are busy so this blog post about the World Race will be summarized some, so if you have any more questions please feel free to contact me.
So, what is the World Race you may be asking? The World Race is a year-long mission to 11 different countries in 11 months; a month per country. I will serve as missionary through an organization, Adventures in Missions (AIM), in their World Race program. I will be going with a team of about 40 people spreading the hope and love of Christ to India, Nepal, Thailand, Challenge: Asia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Latvia, and Estonia/Lithuania.
Through adventure, ministry, community, and self-discovery, World Racers develop broken hearts that propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom around the globe. On the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations.
As I am planning and praying for this trip, I understand how blessed we are to live in a country that the knowledge of Christ is everywhere. This realization reminds me that we are blessed for a reason and given a great responsibility- to share with others. That is why I have such a strong desire to travel to places where poverty and spiritual darkness abound. In Christ we have found a love that brings light to darkness, meets the needs of the poor, and brings abundant joy. I desire to share this overflowing joy to all Nations.
I realize that while God calls us to “make disciples”, not everyone is capable of leaving the country for short or long-term trips such as this. I also realize how important it is for different members of the body of Christ to join together to complete tasks such as this one. Therefore, I ask something of extreme importance from everyone; that you pray for me, my fellow Racers, and all the nations we will be traveling to. Pray that hearts may be moved, that hope may spread across the world, and that all glory is brought to God. I also ask that you prayerfully consider supporting me financially. Every little bit helps! I trully mean that, five dollars can go a long way. So, if after prayer you feel lead to support me financialy, you can click on the "Support Me!" link on the left of the page and make a donation.
Thank you again for all of the support, encouragement, and prayers. I look forward to having you on my team. I would also love to have you follow me on my blog so that you may continue to pray as we racers go to each country. I will keep you informed of what God is doing in and through me and others from the World Race as we bring the good news of Christ to the people of all nations.
God bless you all
In Christ's Love,
Grayson Fleetwood
