Okay, so I have finally made it back on to the web! Once again
I extend my thanks for your patience. The amazing news is that I have a
plethora of blogs coming your way to update you on what’s been going on, to
encourage you as I have been encouraged, and lastly to share the wonders of
what my heart has been experiencing as of late. But before I begin with all of
that, this specific blog post is dedicated to a friend I have only recently met
since coming back home from my World Race journey back in December.
After I returned home from the race, I was blessed with many
opportunities to share about my experience overseas. One of these amazing
occasions was back in a small Baptist church in which I had served as the youth
pastor for a year or so. Well, the Sunday afternoon that I spoke I met a young
woman by the name of Dez who was interested in this crazy idea of a journey
that I had just returned from. She was a bright eyed, energetic, excited girl.
And so for the following months she emailed me with questions and thoughts
about possibly stepping out into a journey like mine on her own. So, here we
stand 6 and a half months later and Dez is counting down the days till she
embarks on the World Race herself.
I am excited and overjoyed in her leap of faith that she
will be taking in a few short weeks! So, with that all said, I want to formally
invite everyone and anyone who is in the Manitoba area to support HER this
coming Tuesday (August 4th) by making your way to the Southland
Church in Steinbach. This is an opportunity to hear her heart and passion for
such a leap into the unknown as well as to hear her perform some of her music
which she is selling to help fund her trip.
Dez has also asked me to take a few minutes to share about
my journey as well as explain (if I can) what the World Race experience exactly
is!
So, if you are able, please drop in or if you can’t and are
wanting to support her financially or prayerfully this next 11 months, please
take a look at her blog – dezloeppky.theworldrace.org
Hope to see ya out there!!
