What is the World Race?
The
World Race is an 11-month mission trip to 11 different countries around
the world. It is a multi-denominational mission, with racers from a
variety of Christian backgrounds from across the US and Canada. We will
abandon a traditional lifestyle and serve in very unique capacities in
a variety of different cultures. We will be involved in working in
orphanages, giving career skills to those
who are victims of the human trafficking, feeding the hungry, caring
for those who have been abandoned by the AIDS crisis in Africa, spreading LOVE and HOPE where it is lost, etc. We will have the opportunity to partner with different ministries ultimately bringing God’s Kingdom. Our tentative schedule for 2010:

 |
January- New Zealand Everyone who watched the Lord of the Rings is captivated by New Zealand’s beauty. In the midst of a paralyzing atheistic culture, the Maori people are still experiencing revival like never before. Ministries and outreaches from those burdened for this island nation are contributing to the reclaiming of this people group for the cause of Christ. The World Race is headed to New Zealand to speak truth and reap a harvest to the glory of God. |
 |
February- Australia From the Sydney Opera House to the Aboriginal Tribes of the Australian Outback, World Race will seek to 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. |
 |
March- Malaysia Enter into Malaysia and walk into a world entrenched in Islam. Although Malaysia is home to one of the most thriving metropolises in the world, the people of this nation still live life with little to no knowledge of the gospel. It’s a world much like our own, but much different in the spirit. Delve into this culture of works-based religion, strong self-discipline, and uncanny faith, while delivering hope and pointing the people to their Redeemer. |
|
April- 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. |
|
May- Cambodia 28 years ago, Cambodia experienced one of the most gruesome genocides known to man where over one third of the country’s population was slaughtered. Still in recovery from their past, the people of Cambodia are thirsty for hope. |
|
June- Kenya Who hasn’t heard of Kenya in their lifetime? The Kenyan people are colorful, musical, artistic and hungry for the love of Christ. The Masai bush, the Nairobi metropolis, the Kiberra slums…comprise a country diverse yet unified in history. As a new era dawns in Kenya, so does the Gospel of truth and faith. By meeting felt needs in the bush and the city, the World Race produces lasting fruit and lasting ministries to carry on even after we leave. |
 |
July- Uganda From the Ugandan islands to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, the African people of these nations share a common bond. Through the wild lands, home to Africa’s “Big Five” animals coexist people, reached and unreached with the Gospel of Christ. Through evangelism, church planting and discipleship, we will be a part of a movement to further the kingdom of God in this incredible region of the world. |
|
August- Pioneer Africa Twice during your World Race experience, your team will take a month to ATL (ask the Lord) for a new mission field. He may lead you someplace in the middle of a buzzing city or somewhere that can’t even be found on a map. Either way, it’s a time of listening to the Lord’s voice and following him with true abandon. |
|
September- Romania The northern regions of Romania are home to the gypsy people. 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 you’ll teach English, lead sports camps, live life with the gypsies, and more. |
 |
October- Ukraine Caught between its past oppression under the USSR communist regime and the desire to be accepted by Western society, Ukraine is a land of many ups and downs. Thankfully, there’s hope, light, and life spreading like wildfire throughout this nation. Is it the kingdom of God coming in power? We think so. |
 |
November Pioneer Eastern Europe Ask God where to go and do what He tells you. It’ll be one of the most adventurous and memorable months of ministry that you’ll have on the Race. Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Croatia, Germany, Greece… God could lead you anywhere in Europe to unveil His kingdom. Are you willing to abandon your last month on the Race to Him? |
