Hi friends! It sure has been awhile….
I’ve been pretty quiet online about the world race for a couple of months for various reasons. The biggest reason of course being our world’s situation with the corona virus/COVID-19 pandemic. It has certainly raised lots of questions regarding all aspects of life for my family, me, and you too no doubt. Many of those questions for me are revolving around this missions trip.
What will it look like?
Will I still leave in October?
Am I going to have to get to know a whole new team?
The truth is I really do not have a lot of answers right now. But two things I do know are that: 1. GOD IS GOOD 2. He called me to this October 2020 mission trip. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. So for now I will wait & rest, but I will hold firm and fast to what I know He has said! I am choosing to fight for the call of God on my life, & I will fight for it full of hope, joy, laughter, and with a little dance in my step!
. . . .
On a practical level, our team received a very important update today and that is that our training camp & launch dates have actually been moved FORWARD! EEK! ??As of today, I have 6 months, 19 days, & 5 hours to raise $15,915. How exciting is that?! I cannot wait to see how God is going to show up and show out in my finances for this trip. When I arrive to training camp in October, not only will all my teammates be there but we’ll also have the privilege of training with all 3 of the August World Race routes, and all 3 of the January 2020 routes as well. What an incredible event to be able to be a part of with so many Jesus filled young adults in one place!
Please continue pray for me in the following ways: – That our team would be unified and centered on Christ. – That my fundraising would be fruitful and people would catch the heart of what God is calling me to. – That I would continue to run after God & not forsake my current season.
Thank you all for your support, your love, and your prayers!
Much love,
Laina
