Many of you know but some still may not that I left May 31 to co-lead the June 2009 World Race. Having only been back since the end of November I wasn’t sure when approached if I wanted to head back out so soon. But as I began to pray and seek answers I found that the Lord was birthing a new vision for his people in my heart.
My heart was hurting as I would see and hear of many people not choosing the fullness of Christ in their lives. Brokenness of families, friends and vows made to the Lord. In all of this hurt and pain I saw a cycle that will continue on unless something or someone takes hold. As I was processing all of this I realized that one of the many solutions to this problem was in a process I had just gone through, The World Race.
The World Race is really just a journey or a pilgrimage to the solution but it is a process to something life changing. During my race I watched and went through an incredible journey as my squad allowed the Lord to shape and mold us. Lives were transformed from believers to doers of the Gospel. As we went throughout our year we found that the Lord spoke directly to us and had great plans for our lives. Many of the things we learned throughout the journey we would not have learned in our home churches living the way we lived. Living with 26 other people and people from 11 different countries around the world challenged us in every aspect of our lives.
My prayer as I invest in the 33 lives of the June 2009 racers is that by them stepping out in faith this year their lives will be radically changed. I believe that the Lord desires for a generation to step out and proclaim the Gospel for it’s own.
I believe that the World Race is playing a significant part in activating young believers to be a generation who IS the Gospel!
I am a missionary, maybe not your typical missionary but I am called to my generation. To ACTIVATE, LEAD AND EMPOWER my peers to their destinies.
Thank you for your prayers and support!!!
