In a very short amount of time, this is going to become reality for me. To be on the World Race for the full 11 months I need to raise $15,500. Every few months I have been having a deadline to meet to stay on the missions field and July 1st is my LAST deadline. In order for me to continue to the countries of Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Nepal, and India I still need to raise a total of $4,000 to be fully funded!
My wonderful journey started in the country of Costa Rica. In this country, this whole world race trip really sunk in to the fact that I was leaving my friends and family for 11 months to go serve God in 11 countries I have never been before. This is when trusting Him became more real to me than ever. I was also learning how to be more transparent in my walk with Christ with my struggles and sins. Evangelism was huge this month and it was amazing to watch the Holy Spirit work through me and give me the words to speak to the people of the Irazu Volcano!
Nicaragua was number 2 on this crazy journey. I learned to let go of sins I have been holding onto for so long and started walking in the freedom of Christ! Also, a lot of ministry this month was manual labor, so I was able to call on The Lord to give me strength and watch him work through me to get the job done and to persevere.
Honduras which was my favorite country of all so far was amazing to say the least. This month I was able to work with kids off the street. This month, God gave me his heart to love these kids. He gave me His eyes to see them. I have never loved a group of people the way I love those kids from Honduras. It is a love that only the father can give. My heart grew this much. He taught me how to love sacrificially and unconditionally. The Lord has put it on my heart to come back to this country and serve after the World Race!
Thailand was on of the hardest countries for me, but as we all know, sometimes the hardest times come with the best life lessons. This month I came full force into trusting that our God is a good God and that I can trust him with ALL things. My past, present, and future. I know your probably thinking this is something most Christians should know, but to actually walk it out and believe it wholeheartedly is something completely different. I also learned the power and authority I have in Christ! That He wants to use me for great things. All I need to do is show up and God will do the rest. This month I was able to work one on one with prostitutes and even with Buddhist monks!
Malaysia was one of the most diverse countries I have been to and one of the first closed countries I have ever been to where I could have gotten in a lot of trouble if the government actually knew what I was there for. So with how the Muslim culture works, it was very important for me to let the Holy Spirit guide me and to use discernment in all situations. I feel like The Lord really sharpened me in that area of my life. This month I was also placed on a different team and through that, God was teaching me to love people and to pursue people that were different than me. To give people a chance. This month I was able to work in a christian hospital and help raise money for kids who need heart surgeries. We raised around $5,000 !
I am currently in the country of Cambodia and took me by surprise!. I have been teaching English to students and also working in a near by village. God has been working on my hard this month. He has been calling me up in things that I have been lacking in for so long. The way I physically serve people and how often I pray for others over myself. These are things The Lord has highlighted for me to work on this month along with actually walking out who he has called me to be, " a beautiful and worthy daughter of the king" I am actually believing that about myself and walking it out in my day to day life.
