Training Camp was the hardest things well as the BEST thing I have ever done. That week was stretching in ways I never thought possible. I went into those weeks thinking I was prepared for what I was going to experience at Training Camp. I was WRONG! I had it in my mind that I was just going to learn about all the cultures I was going to experience over the next year. Well It was that and much more!
I didn’t just get pumped full of information on the countries and cultures! The days were jammed packed! Everyday was different; It was great, and I loved it! All the people on my squad that were all just pictures on a screen were finally real people! I got to meet them all, and loved them all (most of the time…LOL); seriously I have never formed bonds of friendship in just a few short days! It was like I had known them all my life…super weird! Weirdly enough we were all so different in personalities and brought different strengths that is what brought us together and that is what bonded us!
During those weeks I learned about my countries where I will be living, how to act, dress and what the race will look like. We had a different field scenario almost every night, as well as sessions and breakouts; we did squad and team building games, exercises and got to know one another and our leadership. I felt like my brain was on over drive with everything I was taking in. In the sessions we learned about teaching, preaching, how to hear the Holy Spirit, and so much more. The worship at training camp was amazing! Music is one of the ways I connect and hear from the Father.
The fitness hike is another part of training. One of the hardest parts of training camp was the fitness hike! I was so nervous going into that week, the fitness hike is 2.2 miles long in Georgia mountains and you have to complete that in 38 minutes or less; and oh yeah did I mention I have to do that with my 50 pound pack on my back.
The Lord was speaking to me ever since I left to travel to training camp! While at training during one of the first sessions the speaker said something that hit and stuck with me all week! Jesus called you here to the World Race for a reason and you said yes! Trust His call, it was not a random call to GO! I have followed Jesus for years with a YES….BUT. At training camp Jesus kept say Jenny, just let GO and watch me work; let GO of your BUT and lay it at my feet. Dive Deep with me, I’ve got you I won’t let you fall; I PROMISE!!
When I said Yes to the world race it was the first time that there was not a BUT to follow! This Journey is nerve racking, scary at times but SOOO Exciting! I am in Awe of what Jesus has done in me and I am not even on the field yet. I can’t imagine How He will work in me over the next year! Jesus continues to tear down my walls and show Himself to me! The world race is amazing opportunity to step out of you bubble of comfort in so many ways! Packing up and living out of two back packs and follow Jesus wherever He leads is not something for everyone, but it is for ME! He has called me so I am say YES and following Him!
I am so excited to live without borders for the first time in my life; I am following hard after Jesus! Leaving my family and life in Florida is hard; I literally NEVER thought I would ever say that! But here I am, I love my friends, family and life in Florida! I know there are things I am going to miss while on the Race but Jesus IS SO WORTH MY YES!
He called me for a reason and I am still figuring out what that reason is but each step I take towards Him He reveals more to me! I know one reason is to stretch me in my faith and reliance on Him. I can get very comfortable and in a routine! I don’t want to just go through the motions in my relationship with Jesus I want to follow hard after Him and WITHOUT BORDERS!
Stay tuned for how the Father continues to illuminate Himself to me and continues to work in my life!
I write all this to invite to partner with Him in how He is working in my life and my Squads lives! I know the Lord has called me to serve alongside him on this journey around the world to spread His name! I need to raise $3,300 in the next 5 Days to reach my next deadline! I will not be able to leave in October if I do not reach this goal! Please Prayerfully consider partnering with me and the Lord financially!
If I can have 33 people donate $100 dollars each I will reach my Goal!
Will you be one of the people to partner with me in this GOAL?!?
I understand not everyone can financially partner so I am also asking for you all to partner with me through Prayer, I am going to need it!
Thank you all for taking the time to read and follow My journey! Make sure to subscribe for updates and stories! God is on the move! Move with Him! <3
