Race Route!

Ireland

Ireland boasts a heritage of Christianity through Catholicism. Yet
the lifeless display of faith reveals that this nation is farther from
God than ever. Rampant alcoholism and suicide rates reveal a desperate
need for hope.  Through sports, children’s outreach, and the
relationships that just happen along the way, World Race hopes to
reintroduce a life-giving faith to this beautiful, historic culture.

Romania

The northern regions of Romania are home to the gypsy people of
Romania. Strangers in their home land, they are segregated, ostracized
and forgotten. Yet, they are a strong, proud and colorful people who
are beginning to embrace the light of Christ in a whole new way.
Teaching English, leading sports camps, and planting churches are but a
few of the tasks set before us as we enter this area of the world.
 

Egypt
Egypt is a country rich in historical significance.  The Egyptian
people are no less rich in their cultural goings-on today.  A country
shaped by the past and under religious bondage, the people of Egypt are
hungry to hear of the freedom brought through Christ.  While pyramids
and palaces give the land a romanticized veneer, under the surface lie
hearts in need of relationship and hope.

Kenya

The Masai bush, the Nairobi metropolis, the Kiberra slums…comprise a
country diverse yet unified in history.  The Kenyan people are
colorful, musical, artistic and hungry for the love of Christ.  As a
new era dawns in Kenya, so does the Gospel of truth and faith.  By
meeting felt needs in the bush and the city, we hope to leave lasting
fruit and lasting ministries to carry on beyond us.

Uganda

From the Ugandan islands to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, the African
people of these nations share a common bond.  Through the wild lands,
home to Africa’s “Big Five” animals coexist people, reached and
unreached with the Gospel of Christ.  Through evangelism, church
planting and discipleship, we will be a part of a movement to further
the kingdom of God in this precious region of the world.
 

During your World Race, your team will take a month to “Ask the Lord”
for a new mission field. He may lead you to a location developing,
growing and booming or He may lead you to a land untouched by the World
Race or even Christianity as a whole.  It will be a time to listen to
the voice of the Lord and, with true abandon, follow Him into the wild
blue yonder.

Vietnam
Leaving the Caribbean, the team will cross the Pacific and land in a
whole new world. The country of Vietnam has been under communist rule
for decades and the oppression has taken its toll through seasons of
warfare and rebuilding. The government is adamantly against religious
freedom and as the country suffers in Buddhist bondage, the light of
the Christian remnant shines as a candle in the darkness.

Cambodia
Fifty years ago, Cambodia saw one of the most devastating genocides in
history. The Khmer Rouge slaughtered nearly two million people � 1/3 of
the country’s population at the time. In 24 hours cities were emptied,
left to be ghost towns. The nation has been in constant upheaval until
recently. The strength and resiliency of the Cambodian people is
inspiring.  Be a part of holding orphans, born into a new era; meeting
felt needs in some of the worst slums in the world; and church planting
with an adolescent generation on the verge of religious revolution.
