If you haven't heard the exciting news I have been accepted to do an 11 month mission trip to 11 countries called THE WORLD RACE!!! www.theworldrace.org This is my route as of now, although it is subject to change ( Bulgaria, Romania, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala)
Words can't really begin to describe my excitement and anticipation as the process of embarking on this adventure begins. Why the world Race? Because I am PASSIONATE about Jesus I am PASSIONATE about people and I am PASSIONATE about seeing this world changed with the hope that Christ brings!
The world Race is with AIM or adventures in missions they are based out of Gainsville Georgia. I leave for this amazing journey in July 2012 but before that can take place I have to attend a training camp in the states in May. For 10 days they are going to push us and pour into our lives as much as they can to prepare us for our journey. I know nothing will be able to totally get us prepared for what will encounter but I look forward to meeting my teammates and getting uncomfortable because that is what this experience is all about! Its not about easy!
What will I be doing on the World Race?? Well that is kind of a loaded quesiton. It honestly could look like anything. It could be teaching English, working in orphanages, running children/youth programs, working with prostitutes and human trafficking victims, building whatever, door-to door ministry. BASICALLY JUST LOVING ON PEOPLE!!
HERE'S THE THING!!! In order to go on the world race In need to come up with 15 500 dollars! So what does that money go towards. That money covers the costs of flights, ground transportation, food, and accomadations while I am away. I will need to raise additional funds for needles, health insurance and flights to and from training camp, and flights to the States to fly out and a flight back to Canada when all is said and done. You may be thinking Kiera THAT IS ALOT OF MONEY…. how do you plan to come up with that? First I want to tell you that I SERVE A VERY BIG GOD, who has a whole lot of resources. Its kind of like when you ask your parents…how do you know that the person you are going to marry is the right one? And they always respond… you will just know. I guess until it happens to you, you can't really explain it better than that. Well that is kind of the same idea for me going on the world race, I JUST KNOW that this is what the next season that God has for me, and I JUST KNOW that He will provide the finances for me.
So I am throwing it out there for you guys! Maybe you have a heart for missions, or maybe you just think WOW Kiera this is an amazing opportunity and I would love to see you get there. If so I would love to get in contact with you. There are a couple of ways for you to help support me. First easy way is to just go on my blog and on the left hand side there is a SUPPORT ME TAB.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
