WELCOME TO MY BLOG!



ACTS 20:24

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.


Beginning in January 2011, I will be teaming up with other
like-minded men and women to serve God on the World Race.   The World Race is a Christian
mission trip that partners with existing missionaries and ministries all over
the world in order to reach the “least of these” through service and sharing
the Gospel.  We will be spending
one month in each of the following countries: 


India, Nepal, Cambodia,
Malaysia, Australia, Romania, Mozambique, Swaziland, South Africa, Moldova, Thailand  


This trip is
specifically designed for young people that desire to represent the hands and
feet of Christ through service.  We
will be backpacking and living off of minimal resources for 11 months as we
devote our time to the homeless, orphans, prostitutes, disaster victims and
many others in 11 countries around the world.  There is no limit for us as we step out in faith and follow Christ to the ends of the earth!

Tentative Race Route

 India

 With nearly a sixth of the world’s population within its borders, India is a country bursting with people and culture. Moreover, it has a diverse array of religious beliefs from Hinduism, to Islam, to a blend of folk religions and other faiths. While the country is on the edge of full economic development, it’s still stricken with poverty and privy to the crimes of human trafficking, forced prostitution, religious persecution, and more. So what will we do in India? Change it from the inside out!





 Nepal

 Home to Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, Nepal literally sits on top of the world. Here, we will visit widows and orphans in their times of distress and protect the innocent who are prey to human traffickers. This month of our World Race experience will submerge us in a culture that is desperate for an encounter with the living God.    






Thailand

With nearly two million people estimated to be stuck inside of prostitution in Thailand, it has become one of the most popular places for sex tourism. Change lives in the city and rock worlds in the countryside. Thailand’s sure to capture your heart.

 

 




 Malaysia

 Enter a world entrenched in Islam. A people within the thriving metropolis of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysians still live in ignorance of the Good News of Jesus Christ. As we delve into this culture of works-based religion, strong self-discipline, and uncanny faith, we will have the unique opportunity to deliver hope and point the people to their Redeemer.






 Australia

 From the Sydney Opera House to the aboriginal tribes of the Australian Outback, Australia is as exotic as you imagined it. World Racers will partner with ministries, churches and missionaries who are spreading the hope of Christ to the rich and poor alike. While Australia boasts a more westernized culture, the marginalized, impoverished, destitute and lost still exist and live each moment for the hope of hearing the good news.





 South Africa

 While it’s been several decades since apartheid has formally ended, there is still more healing and reconciliation to take place in South Africa. This country is one of the wealthiest on the continent, and yet, much of the population that lives outside the cities is poor.  Like the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, this country struggles with a high rate of AIDS/HIV. Host to the 2010 World Cup, and breathtaking natural attractions, it is also a place full of kingdom potential just waiting to be released!






 Mozambique

 This is one of the most beautiful countries in the continent of Africa. Mozambique is also a favorite location of World Racers for a variety of reasons: the people, the beautiful landscape, incredible ministry partnerships, the miracles that this country has seen, and more.  Although the stronghold of poverty grips this nation, Mozambique is seeing signs of redemption and economic recovery. Due to extreme poverty – or perhaps in spite of it – the church is growing, as well. This month on the Race, we will be teaching, preaching, practicing “true religion” with widows and orphans, and growing in our identity in Christ.




 Swaziland

 The Kingdom of Swaziland is one of the last remaining monarchies in Africa. Home to 1.1 million people and breath-taking scenic views, it’s also where the world’s highest HIV/AIDS infection rate lives (26.1% in adults and over 50% of adults in their 20s). It’s estimated that by 2050, the country of Swaziland will not even exist. Young orphans are scattered throughout this nation that is in desperate need of attention. For years, AIM has been committed to seeing these statistics reversed. Here, we will most likely find ourselves involved in a variety of outreaches, including education, orphan care, care point feedings, and more.




  

 Romania

 The northern regions of Romania are home to the gypsy community. Though strangers in their homeland and forgotten by society, the gypsies are a strong and vibrant people who embrace the light of Christ in an inspirational way. Here, we will teach English, lead sports camps, live life with the gypsies, and more. This month will be an exciting time of learning about a people group we may not have known even existed.   





 Moldova

Once a part of Romania, this former Soviet republic declared independence in 1991. Moldova, one of the poorest European countries, is riddled with a high underground crime rate. This country is vulnerable as a transit point of human trafficking. The main language spoken is Romanian (also called Moldovan) but there’s debate as to what the Moldovan ethnicity is exactly. We need people who will bring Kingdom clarity and declare peace the peace of God over a land filled with confusion and chaos.

 


Cambodia

Cambodia houses one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple and monastery built during the Khmer empire in the 12th century. It later became a Buddhist complex a century later, and today, just over 96% of Cambodia is Buddhist. Almost 30 years ago, 1.5 million Cambodians died at the hands of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime. Today, Cambodia is a source, transit point and destination of human trafficking and the government is struggling to stop it. The people of Cambodia are thirsty for the hope we can bring.
