If Thailand were a movie character, it would be Cameron Frye from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off because Thailand is freakin sick. Thailand is my squad’s home for 2 of the next three months, but a lot of my homies still need some more support in order to stay on the field. Everyone needs to be fully funded by January 15 or else they’ll get sent home. I want to avoid any sad goodbyes so I’m writing a blog to shoutout all the amigos that still need some assistance.
Hannah Chaon hannahchaon.theworldrace.org/ – Hannah has an incredibly kind heart, and has some crazy hula-hooping skills.
Mac Collinsworth macaylacollinsworth.theworldrace.org/ – Mac speaks boldly and does a great job at making others feel loved.
Mady McHugh madymchugh.theworldrace.org – Mady clearly cares so deeply for the people she gets to connect with during ministry, and she is also one of the funniest people to talk to.
Rachel Crandall rachelcrandall.theworldrace.org – Rachel lives with a rare confidence in God that gives her boldness, and she is also very proud to be a Texan.
Alexus Peavy alexuspeavy.theworldrace.org – Alexus has powerful wisdom, and also leads with an inspiring kind of humility.
Emily Shenk emilyshenk.theworldrace.org – Emily has a powerful skill to make people feel heard and cared for just by being who she is.
Noah Roach noahroach.theworldrace.org – Noah is the only person I’ve ever met that has an uncommon amount of strength, confidence, and determination mixed with wisdom, insight, and humility.
Elli Gerber elligerber.theworldrace.org – Elli has a calming sort of personality where everything she does feels like it was well-constructed and thought out.
Mary Grace Curran marygracecurran.theworldrace.org – Mary Grace lives with strong passion that is so evident in the ways she uses her talents for Jesus, but also in the way she shows love.
Bethany Clark bethanyclark.theworldrace.org – Bethany lives with an infectious joy that she has a talent to share with the people she loves, and she loves those people in a way that has no fear.
Brooke Selby brookeselby.theworldrace.org – Brooke carries a unique kind of intentionality that flows out in everything she does, and she cares in a way that is personal and never obtrusive.
Hailey Cole haileycole.theworldrace.org – Hailey is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and she gets a special shoutout for giving me Hershey kisses all the time.
Camille Tyree camilletyree.theworldrace.org – Camille is strong and fierce and willing to step up whenever needed, but she has also shown some of the craziest amounts of vulnerability when she needs to.
Nick Randau nickrandau.theworldrace.org – Nick is straight fun and goofy and he will make literally anyone feel invited and welcomed and loved, but more importantly he’s gifted me more food than anyone else on the squad so you know he’s a homie.
It’s the end of the year, so if you feel inclined I would highly encourage you to donate what you can during this holiday season to any of the incredible people listed above. Some of them need more help than others, no shame in that. There’s also the chance that I forgot to list someone who also still needs some support on the squad or that by the time you read this some of (or a lot of) the people listed may already be fully funded. I know that helping these people out would not only be a gift to them and the rest of the squad, but also to all the people that they will get the chance to minister to during the last 5 months of the race.
Thanks everyone for your help and thank you to everyone who supported me. Merry Christmas!
