So there you have it, Juan Direction’s most eligible bachelorettes!
Hashtag Project Search Wife? You may be wondering? Well, we aren’t aloud to date/start a new relationship on the Race. This is a year for us as Racers to grow in deeper intimacy with the Father and focus on catapulting into a life lived on mission for Jesus.
After the Race, we will reconnect at an event called Project Search Light. This is an opportunity for Racers to continue debriefing life on the field and figure out “what’s next” under the leadership of the Adventures In Missions staff.
Over the years, Project Search Light has gained a new name… Project Search Wife, because lets face it… the Lord has revealed many husbands and wives to Racers out on the field. It is our commitment to Adventures in Missions and The World Race to fix our eyes on the Lord and save the relationships until after the Race.
Team Juan Direction’s dating profiles are complete! My girls are ready to hit the ground running when they get off the Race.
These are truly incredible women and I am so excited to serve along side of them these last three months. We’ve always said the Race is a marathon, not a sprint. My Juan D’s are going to finish the Race stronger than we started!
Stay tuned…
This isn’t the last time you will see these beautiful faces!
Love,
K
