Albania was a month of rest and finding a fresh perspective on all that God is doing in us through the World Race. I have been so beyond blown away by the friendships and beauty that have come out of our sixth month on the race. THANK YOU Jesus for blessing us with such a sweet ministry and vibrant community in Albania!
Take a look at the video that Anna Beth put together for our ministry host in Albania. I have thoroughly enjoyed spending a month with R116 and know that they will continue to impact everyone they come into contact with and bring the kingdom to every place they serve. R116 is a team that pursues God together and loves others out of the abundance that God has blessed them with. I encourage you guys to follow this team of beautiful gems as they pursue the Lord on the race.
Keeley is the amazing team leader of R116, a former teammate, and an amazing friend and sister in Christ, who continues to pursue God and others wholeheartedly. Keeley walks in wisdom and authority that the Lord has given her and has made such a huge impact in the lives of her teammates and people she has served over these past 6 months.

Maggie is one amazing woman of God who continues to set such an incredible example of someone who is wholeheartedly pursuing the Lord in this season of the race. Maggie challenged herself to read the entire Bible within in a three week span of time and has faithfully chipped away each page of the Bible to accomplish this goal! She walks with so much wisdom and integrity and encourages her fellow teammates, myself, and those around her to dive deeper with the Lord. Follow her journey at maggiehigginbotham.theworldrace.org
