THE WORLD RACE

So I have been Traveling for 11 months now around the world…on an Amazing journey known as The World Race…

Last night in my boredom and curiosity, I decided to try and figure out just how much traveling is involved in all of this. (being a Logistics leader…I love seeing this stuff!)

While putting this list together it made me think of all the faces of the people God has placed in my path on this trip, and just how much ministry can happen on an airplane, in the back of a van, or on a 30 hour train ride. Traveling the world and sharing the love of Christ with the World is a Pleasure, and a Joy!

So for future World Racer’s this is what you have to look forward to on your journey! And to all of my supporters…THANK YOU for allowing me to come this far!

For our last ride on a train to debrief and the airport and flights home I used estimated times to fill out the full year.
