New continent.
New country.
New culture.
New contacts.
New team!
I want to take a moment to introduce you to our new team, Team CLP!
It's at this point in the race that our two alumni racers, Lucas and Sarah, our squad leaders, choose to raise up three of our peers to take their place. As new squad leaders are raised up into this position of leadership, new team leaders and new teams are put in place as well, as God leads Lucas and Sarah to form them for our growth.
I am so happy to announce our new squad leaders to you! They are Mike Desmond (my former team leader and team mate! Check out his blog here mikedesmond.theworldrace.org), Kevin Buzzie (kevinbuzzie.theworldrace.org), and Andrea Garcia (andreagarcia.theworldrace.org). Please lift these three precious people up in your prayers as they learn to walk in this new position. Pray for peace and confidence, for unity and love. They are amazing leaders, and God is going to use them in incredible ways on this squad.
Now, onto my new team! Team CLP stands for Team Childlike Prophets. When we first got together as a new team, we expressed our heart and what we wanted to see in this community. Joy, life, laughter, openness, freedom to be yourself, growth, and a child like faith were some of the things expressed. We also expressed the desire and longing to continue to express ourselves through prophesy, which is speaking life and truth to others. We come to bring love and fire, and life. We all have different gifts, and I am so excited to see how God uses us all together with those gifts in the Philippines and beyond!
Introducing…

and…me!
We are Team CLP, and we will bring fire and life and truth to the world through Christ who gives us strength. We will have faith like a child, and grow in the freedom He offers each and every one of us.
Our squad has just passed our third deadline for the World Race, and I am excited to announce that I am at $10,800! We only have one more deadline coming upon us, and I need to raise $4,000 more to continue on this Race. Please prayerfully consider joining me in this adventure to spread God's love around the world. I cannot do this without you, and it would mean so much to me to have you join with me in this. If you would like to donate towards my trip and help me stay on and finish the race, please click the button to the left that says “Support Me,” and it will guide you to what you need to do.
Thank you so much to everyone who already has supported me in prayers and with your finances. It means the world to me to have you by my side in this. You are the hands and feet of Christ with me around the world!
