Day 22 Blog Challenge: Do not go on the World Race!
I know this title sounds hypocritical but I am referring to people that might find some things hard to believe that traveling and seeing the world might be a dream come true! Which it is for me but to everyone who is very comfortable with the American culture living. Here are my 10 reasons for you to think about before joining the world race!
0. Yes it’s a 18,700 dollars to go on this trip! If you don’t think you raised that much money means your probably not ready to go. Because if you know and trust that the Lord is going to provide then you will be ready to make that commitment!
0. The trip is not a vacation! It’s a opportunity for you to find what the Lord has for you! So if you are coming to see how many stamps on your passport. It’s means your not ready! Make sure that this is what Lord wants you to do!
0. You might find some uncomfortable places to sleep that you are not use to back in the states! If you still prefer to sleep in your bed then your not ready yet!
0. There are a lot of travel days by bus! There are very uncomfortable times and hours of being on a bus! If your not comfortable with long road trip, not being to stop to go to the bathroom when needed and not comfortable with squady potty’s then your probably not ready yet!
0. There are some parts of the countries that are not clean! If you prefer to be in clean places then you probably are not ready for this trip!
0. If you don’t like bugs or animals in general. You would probably have to suck it up! Because it’s the same in the states! Then your definitely not ready!
0. If your not a outdoors and a person who doesn’t like camping then you need to prepare yourself for it. Because at training camp you will get the experience for sure!
0. If your not a social person I will challenge you to be more outgoing because there is a lot of that in ministry you will be doing like in evangelism! But challenge yourself to socialize if you are called on the world race.
0. Be prepared for what food you get. If your picky about a lot of foods then I Challenge you to try more foods.
0. Prepare yourself physically and mentally! That’s really really important because if your not prepared for it then you are not ready!
I hope this was very useful for some of you thinking about doing the world race! This was not to get you not to go because I don’t want that to be the reason. The reason was to prepare you for what you are about to embark on! If you feel called on the world race then do it! It’s one of the greatest experiences you ever get to do and the Lord will grow you in many ways!
