Hey everyone.
Most of you know that I will be leaving on a year long mission trip called The World Race very soon.
Before I go, I just want to share some information that I have learned recently about the trip and such.
I found out who will be on my team for the year.
This is not completely set in stone, but this is what we have been told.
This group of people will be my family this next year.
I have talked to them all and they are all truly amazing.
I will let them introduce themselves.
Click on their name to link to their biography.
I ask that you would keep us in your prayers as we set out together on this journey.
A couple weeks ago, we also found out our tentative schedule for the next year or so.
I thought that some of you might want to know where we will be headed and when so here you go…
Aug 30—Fly to Atlanta, Georgia
Sept 15—To Thailand
Oct 14—To Cambodia
Nov 12—To China
D
ec 21-29—Large Debrief
Dec 30— China (Round 2)
Feb/March—To Swaziland
March/April—To Mozambique
April/May—To Mexico

I also wanted to share with you how I am doing financially.
I am trying to raise $15,000 for the trip.
I have currently raised $6,305.
(Thank you all for the support!)
For my fellow math nerds, that is 42% of the way there.
If you feel like God is calling you to support me financially, you can do that a few different ways.
First, you can mail a check to AIM at…
Adventures In Missions, Inc.
P.O. Box 534470
Atlanta , GA 30353-4470

I just want you all to know how important you are in this trip.
This trip isn’t about me at all.
I am going to do my best to give up the next year of my life to serve God and you.
I pray that God will use me to speak into your heart in whatever way He chooses.
I know that God can work though this to make an impact in the lives of many people.
I am really looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all and I can’t wait to hear how Jesus speaks to you.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or you can probably find answers about The World Race at
www.theworldrace.org. For those of you that might want to hear my voice, we will be able to do that using Skype.
It is a way that I can call you for free over the internet from anywhere in the world.
If you download Skype (

), let me know.
I will add you to my list of contacts and I will be able to call you for free this year from wherever I am if I have internet access.
I feel like God is getting ready to do some big things in peoples’ lives.
I want to say “Put your seatbelt on and get ready for a crazy ride”, but I think we need to be a little risky right now and we need to not be tied down.
So I will say “Leave your seatbelt off and hold on tight.”
We need to be ready to jump whenever He asks us to take a leap of faith for Him.
Hey God!!
Please give us open hearts to whatever it is that You want to teach us.
Speak to us.
Show us how to see the world through Your eyes.
Teach us to love especially when it is hard.
Don’t let us be insulated from the things in life that are difficult.
Break our hearts, wreck our lives for You.
Break us down, so that we can be built back up in Your image.
I thank you for blessing me with such amazing people in my life.
I ask that you would bless them all.
Be with them and let them feel your presence.
Matthew 6:10–
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!!
