This week route 3 participants received great news! Our route has been changed! Instead of going to Puerto Rico and Vietnam we will be going to Colombia and Japan.
What is so exciting about this news?
- We will be the first group from the World Race to go to Colombia.
The updated list of countries is:
*Colombia
From the Andes Mountains to the Caribbean coastline to the Amazon rainforest, Colombia is one of the worlds most ecologically diverse countries. Also ethnically diverse, Colombia is home to many unreached tribes, a large student population thats becoming more and more distant from the gospel, and thousands of children living in the streets who need love and hope. In spite of its reputation for political upheaval, Colombia is a place where missions efforts are growing. Amazing stories of transformation like the revival at the prison in Medellin are happening, and you can come help write more!
*Bolivia
*Peru
*Ecuador
*Thailand
*Cambodia
*Japan
Known as the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan is made up of almost 7,000 islands and boasts the worlds largest metropolitan area, Tokyo. Religious freedom has been in place since the end of World War II, but 84% of the Japanese people practice Buddhism or Shintoism or a combination of both, and fewer than one percent are Christian. Groups like Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormons are reaching the Japanese people faster than Christians are. Japan needs excited young missionaries to help infuse a sense of freshness to the missionary effort.
