In 2008 I embarked on a journey that changed my life forever. I hit 11 different countries in the span of 11 months. I held orphans, hugged widows, built orphanages, taught in schools, taught in churches, planted churches, talked with prostitutes, fed beggars, and more.
There’s something about serving a cause bigger than yourself…
… it transforms you.
The World Race is a mission trip, but it’s far from your average one. It’s adventurous, unprogrammed, community-driven, Spirit-led, and far from easy. I’ve never shed so much blood in my life.
But it’s never been more worth it either.
To understand the way I changed and the way change has been born through me… it could take days to explain. The easiest thing to say is that I’m a walking testimony of the Lord’s redemptive work in man.
Check out the video above. Watch it. Chew on it. Consider creating a profile to learn more (choose a Race).
There’s a reason I’ve committed myself to serving something that’s bigger than I’ll ever be able to do on my own. It’s because of the World Race. Loving the unlovable and following God in reckless abandonment – yeah – I attribute it to my time on the field.
I’m not sure I would have gotten that way otherwise.
So consider going. It’s worth it.
Leave a comment and let me know if you’d like to talk more about the Race with me.
