Well, this is probably the last
blog that I will be able to put up for the next month. My team leaves Friday, May 30th
for Mozambique… Mutarara, Mozambique to be exact. We will be traveling 3-4 days to get to our
final destination… our transportation will include: van, bus, bicycle, walking
shoes, and who knows what else. We are
not exactly sure what we will be doing (which is not a big deal b/c the Lord
always leads us to exactly what he wants us to do)… all I know is that
construction on an orphanage might be something we help out with. You can be praying for our team of 6 as we
will be traveling over the next couple of days… transportation isn’t the most
reliable, so pray for patience on our part and no break down of vehicles. You can also pray that our team stays
healthy, that we constantly are listening to the Lord, and that we portray
Christ to every person that we come in contact with this month. Pray that the Lord will see our obedience and
will reign down blessings on all of those around us. Pray also that we as a team continue to learn
servanthood, humility, and laying aside the things that we think we are
entitled to.
We have spent the last week
together with our team coaches here in Swaziland. I’ve decided that I love living in community. All 27 of us racers were debriefing this past
week, living in one house, sharing 3 bathrooms, cooking dinner each night
together, worshiping every other night together, catching up on our past month
that we had spent apart, praying together, drinking coffee together, washing
dishes together… I truly have fallen in love with my family here. I guess if personal space is a must have for
people, than the world race is probably not your cup of tea. Me, personally, I love the accountability
that comes with living so close together.
There is always someone to laugh with, cry with, vent to, or just to
talk to. We all sharpen one another… if
we see a brother or sister going down the wrong path, or picking up a bad
attitude, or removing themselves from the group, we call them out. It’s not always the most fun thing to be told
that you are in the wrong, and really you can choose whether or not to grow
from the experience or get bitter about the experience. But what I have learned is that choosing to
grow from the experience is a much better road to go down than to become
bitter.
I know its not always fun to talk about money, but its something I have
to bring up in my blog in order to finish the race… I’M SO CLOSE TO BEING
SUPPORTED… I am still in need of $3,300.00.
I’ve broken it down like this…. If I can get 10 families or individuals
to support me for 66 dollars a month for the next 5 months, THEN I WILL HAVE
REACHED MY GOAL OF $13,800.00. That’s
about 2 dollars a day… When it’s broken down like that, it’s not such a huge
amount. If you want to give you can give
right on my blog site… www.rachelhunt.theworldrace.org Just click on the support me link!
I cannot begin to express the
appreciation that I have for all of my supporters… your money is being used to
bring down God’s kingdom on earth… THAT’S AMAZING! I pray that the Lord blesses all of your
families through your obedience… Obedience brings blessings… hold to that truth
yall! I also appreciate all of my prayer
warriors out there… I know that the Lord is hearing your prayers! Keep praying hard!
I LOVE YALL, AND MISS EVERYONE
LIKE CRAZY…
It’s hard to believe that the
race is half way over…. I’ll be home around November 25th with
stories to share with anyone who is interested to hear about the amazing work
of our Father.
Check out the video of our
worship during debrief…
