I want to introduce to you the 6 amazing people I get to spend 11 months with serving overseas on my World Race trip! These individuals are the awesome people that get to put up with me on the field!!! Together, the 7 of us will go out into the mission field being the hands and feet of Jesus, spreading God’s love! I couldn’t have picked a better group of friends to come alongside with and serve the nations. So here they are; I present to you “KINGDOM UNLEASHED!”
The Ladies:

First up, we have the amazing Stephanie Bittick!! She’s an awesome woman from Warner Robins, Georgia. I love her honesty, how FUNNY and FUN she is to be with, and the leadership characteristics that reside within her! I believe that my squad will learn so much from her. So looking forward to serving alongside her.

Next we have the wonderful Micah Thomas. This girl is a BALLER! From Georgia, Micah has a sweet taste in movies, loves to love and laugh, has a caring and free spirit, and is going to play a vital role in our squad. Can’t get enough of this girl and can’t wait to be on the field with her.

And next we have Hayden Furlow!! From Lumberton, Texas, she is an awesome gal (insert Texan accent!) She is so wise and humble; it’s so refreshing and encouraging to be around her. She can beat anyone in basketball (where you at Lebron James), has a pure heart, and is a tremendous blessing to our team. We are blessed to have her!

And now we got the ridiculously awesome Shari Scott!! Shari is hilarious. She’s a super cool woman who knows her Gospel like nobody’s business. She displays what it is to trust in the Lord (and have a fun time doing it.) Definitely we’ll be spending long hours in nerd discussion about theological nerd stuff only nerds would like. Can’t wait!!

And the last, but certainly not least, woman we have the one and only LaShondra Riddle!! This girl gets DOWN. She is the funniest person (to the point where there was a discussion of possibly making a Twitter account “Stuff LaShondra Says” because she is so funny.) She also can sing, and I mean SING. You literally can tell her to sing something and she’ll do it. She’s so kind and caring and I can’t wait to be a part of the World Race with her.
Team Leader (and only other guy)
http://travisbonning.theworldrace.org/
And this is my bro and our team’s fearless leader, Travis Bonning. Now I can probably write a whole other blog about this guy. But let’s just say God blessed us with the greatest guy we could ever have asked for. I was with him the majority of the time at training camp, and I knew (and prayed) that God would keep us together. He’s an awesome leader and a great friend. I couldn’t have been more blessed. This guy is hilarious and wise, caring and relentless when it comes to loving God and others. It’s almost like we have a 1-up on the race because we have him on our team. I’m not complaining. I am literally counting the days until I get to serve with him on this extraordinary journey.
Please keep us in your prayers as we are only days from leaving to go on our trip. Subscribe to their blogs, encourage them, get to know them, and keep them in your hearts. I thank God for these amazing individuals and am so excited to partner with them on this amazing missionary endeavor.
