128 days until Training Camp (June 8-18).
New Gear: My new home arrived, and my parents have graciously allowed me to practice setting it up in their living room. (And I have yet to break anything). It may not look it, but this thing is massive.
We have a ROUTE CHANGE:
The first four months will now be in:
Serbia
Romania
Bulgaria
Greece
with the rest of the route currently remaining unchanged
Namibia
Botswana
Zambia
Malaysia
Thailand
Cambodia
Vietnam
For a better understanding of the reasoning behind the route change and the need in Greece, check out this link.
I’m almost 25% funded! My first fundraising deadline of $5,000 is quickly approaching! To help reach my goal I’m selling these t-shirts: (images may make them appear black, but they’re actually charcoal grey.)
You can order online by clicking here or emailing me at [email protected].
Short sleeve shirts (S-XL) are $20. Long sleeve shirts (S-XL) are $25.
2XL/3XL are $2 more.
Additional $3 for shipping if not located in Kansas City or Kirksville.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- Fundraising: Please continue to pray for myself and my squad mates as we continue to fundraise; not only to be fully funded, but to learn what God wants to teach us through this process.
- Preparing our hearts: Pray that in every interaction we treat every person we meet as an indefinitely precious being in the Lord’s eyes. Much like the Hillsong United song, let the cry of our hearts be to “break our hearts for what breaks yours,” but to also be able to see the insurmountable beauty of God through the brokenness.
- Training Camp: It’s intentional that we go into training camp not knowing much, but in this time we will meet our leaders, squad, and teammates. Pray that we develop a Romans 15:5-7 type of unity; that we are able to be authentic and share our lives with one another in preparation of living together in community for 11 months.
How you can be involved:
- Partner with me in prayer.
- Donate/ buy a T-Shirt.
- Share blog/t-shirts on social media.
- Send me encouraging messages/notes/letters for now or to open when I’m on the race (I love mail and I would love to write you back and I’m definitely going to need encouragement over those 11 months.)
- Let’s go out for food or coffee and talk about all things life and world race.
