It’s so strange to be living fully in the present, but knowing that
in a few, short months I will be on the World Race
again. Once again, I will be walking foreign streets, with young
people bold enough to leave all they have for the sake of
bringing hope, healing, and the gospel to the nations. Thank you
Jesus! : ) I am so excited!

 

India

With nearly a sixth of the world’s population within its borders,
India is a country bursting with people and culture. Home to a diverse
array of beliefs from Hinduism to Islam, to a blend of folk religions
and other faiths, it is a country of pluralism with twenty-nine
languages spoken by over a million native speakers, multiple religions,
cuisine, socio-economic classes, and political parties. India’s
struggles with poverty and crimes of human trafficking, forced
prostitution, religious persecution, and more. You might work with local
churches to encourage believers and most likely be challenged by their
testimonies. Your presence’ll bring hope and truth to those that society
deems “untouchable.”

Nepal

Home to Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, Nepal literally
sits on top of the world. In addition to adventurous experiences you
will have here, you may also visit widows and orphans in their times of
distress and protect the innocent who are prey to human traffickers.
This month of your World Race experience will submerge you in a culture
that is desperate for an encounter with the living God.

Thailand

According to the CIA, the kingdom of Thailand, known as Siam until
1939, is the only country in the region not colonized by Europe. Their
2000 census showed that 94.6% of the population is Buddhist, 4.6% are
Muslim, and 0.7% are Christian. Approximately 600,000 people live with
HIV/AIDS in Thailand. With nearly two million people estimated to be
forced into prostitution, it has become one of the most popular places
for sex tourism. Change lives in the city-where you, like Jesus, might
befriend prostitutes-or in the countryside-where you may serve youth,
care for orphans, and encourage a remnant of believers.

Challenge: Asia

Blaze a trail for your team and future World Racers. This will be the
opportunity for you to continue flexing your faith muscles as you
depend on a few words of advice from the staff and mostly God’s
guidance. With God, all things are possible and the possibilities are
endless.

 My co-leader is Joel Dutton. His
role is to be there for the men on our squad…and we have a lot of
them! Thank you God for Joel : ) I just know he is going to call
these men into greatness. After our third month on
the field, Joel and I will choose new squad leaders, from within the
squad, to continue leading the group for the remaining 7 months.

Please join me in praying for
F-Squad! Please pray for:

• Traveling mercies and favor

• Provision in full measure

• Healing/Transformation/Deliverance

• Deeper relationship with the
  Father

• Wholeness over their hearts

• Health and Protection

• Perseverance and Endurance

• Hearts and Minds set on things
  above

• Ability to embrace all that God
  wants to do in them and through them

Our squad is going out into these
nations to bring light and hope to places that persecute and kill
Christian believers, traffic women and children for forced
prostitution, and face extreme poverty. They will come face-to-face
with distressed orphans and widows, encounter people with aids and
other diseases and illnesses, and be in places where child sacrifice
is prevalent. They need people back in the States to lift them up in
prayer and cover them.

I feel so honored to be a part of
this journey along-side them, but I can’t do this alone. I not
only need you to stand in the gap for us in prayer, but I also
need your help financially. As a squad leader, I need to raise
money to cover the cost of my plane tickets leaving the states and
coming back, and my plane tickets to and from the 8 month debrief and
the final debrief. The total cost needed is $5,700. The
break-up of the cost is as follows:

July 1
Launch: $2,950
Month
8: $1,750
Final: $1,000
Total: $5,700

Thank you for your generosity and

blessing me, and allowing me to lead this radical group of young
believers to the nations.
