Dear October 2018 WR Parents –
Reid Mason, our Alumni Coordinator, has asked me to send this information to you about Project Searchight. His contact info is toward the bottom of the email if you have additional questions. In addition, we will be hosting a FB Live session with Reid on Tuesday, July 30 at 8 pm (eastern time) on the FB group page. It will post as a video on that group page if you are not able to join us live.

My name is Reid Mason, and I’m privileged to work with alumni of our World Race and World Race: Gap Year programs. I get to support and encourage Racers as they come off the field and transition into living life passionately following Jesus.
Transition off the mission field can be a challenging time. After undergoing such a transformational experience, many Gap Year Racers have questions like:
“How do I take what I learned and saw and apply it to life in the States?”
“I’m going to college after the Race. How do I bring my experience to a college campus?” “I have new dreams and hopes. What steps should I take to go after them?”
To help your Racer transition, we’ve invited them to Project Searchlight, a debriefing conference on our campus in Gainesville, GA.
Project Searchlight, or PSL, is the official end to your Racer’s time on World Race: Gap Year and a time for your Racer to be refreshed and relaunched into a living a life on purpose. Your Racer will engage in impactful worship, hear from world-class speakers, and re-connect with their Gap Year Squad. (PSL is also free for your Racer! We cover the cost in the Gap Year program cost.)
You can check out the Project Searchlight website for more info.
“Sounds great, Reid. But what about travel to PSL?”
Great question! To help your Racer get to PSL, we want to reimburse each Racer up to $150 to go towards their flight or gas expenses!
- Is your Racer flying to PSL? They should land at the Atlanta Airport before 1 pm on Monday, September 23, and they should depart from the Atlanta airport after 1:30 pm on Saturday, September 28.
- Is your Racer driving to PSL? They should arrive at the Adventures campus between 3-5 pm on Monday, September 23, and will depart from Gainesville after 10 am on Saturday, September 28.
Please note: your Racer must submit receipts to receive the reimbursement and we will only reimburse expenses for airfare or gas, but not food, rental cars, hotels, etc.
Thanks for trusting us with your Racer. We’re so proud of all they’ve done and all they’ve become!
