Dear Adventures in Missions,
We would like to formally submit to you a list of possible new slogans for the World Race. Currently, the official slogan of the World Race is “The World Race: More Than a Mission Trip.” Though we have found this to be very true on many occasions, my team and I have decided to write a few more accurate slogans and mottos for the World Race. We hope you enjoy the following suggestions.

Of course, we love the current slogan. After experiencing a year of ministry with some of the most faithful Christ-followers in the world, a year of living in true community, and a year of discovering our identities in Christ, we truly do believe this is more than a mission trip.
Thank you for your consideration of our alternative slogans. We hope these slogans will give future Racers an accurate representation of World Race life.
Sincerely,
Team Wilderness Explorers
Fourth Generation D Squad, January 2016
