Well here I am, going on the Worldrace. To be more specific I am going on the Expedition 10/40 route. What this means is that my team and I will be traveling to countries that are in the 10/40 window. To be honest, I can’t really tell you why I was drawn to the route or why I choose it. I just liked the idea of traveling to those people who are hard to reach. I’d say I’m definitely more excited than I am nervous. Excited that I get the opportunity to share the gospel with people who have potentially never heard it before. Excited that I’m going outside of my comfort zone. Excited that I’m following Christ. The only thing that makes me nervous is not knowing how to share the gospel but I’m sure God will give me the words when the time comes. That or I’ll start speaking different languages without even knowing it which would be cool too. On the flip side, I think a lot of people are nervous for me because they think that I’m going to be in danger. If my greatest danger is not that of the physical kind but of the spiritual than wouldn’t I be safer following Christ around the world?
Even though I don’t leave until January of 2018 the preparation starts now. This basically means praying, reading, and learning as much as I can about other religions and regions before I take off. So, if anyone has any good book suggestions or can teach me a language in six months or less I’d greatly appreciate it. Of course the prayers are much appreciated. I will always need a lot of those.
