Happy Holidays everyone!   I apologize for not writing sooner.  I am in fact, still processing through the difficult transition of being home.  I will write soon and update each of you on what’s next and how the transition into country #16 – America – has been for me.  In the meantime, I have some dear friends who need your help.  There are a few one my squad unable to raise the complete amount for our world race journey.  They are now responsible for paying off the remainder of their expense. Transitioning home is difficult regardless and a little scary with no income or job.  I ask each of you, my dear supporters, to prayerfully consider a financial contribution on their behalf.  What better way to make a difference this holiday season than to bless someone who spent the last 11 months selflessly furthering the kingdom of Christ?  This donation is tax deductible. Allow me to introduce you to my friends:






Auston Copeland is truly a man of God.  After my teammates Trevor went home due to Malaria, Auston spent a month with my team in order to encourage and bless us.  He loved on us selflessly and spent the month making us laugh, cooking us delicious dinners, and speaking words of encouragement over us.   He made such an impact on us that my teammate Jessi wrote a blog about him which you can read here:  http://jessimarquez.theworldrace.org/?filename=auston-copeland  He has been called by God to attend a ministry school in Spain beginning in January which he will also be in need of support for.  He would be so grateful for any financial help you could offer him and is presently only in need of a mere $85.  If you would like to contribute to Auston you can do so by following this link:  https://www.adventures.org/give/donate.asp?giveto=worldrace&desc=For%20Auston%20Copeland&tuid=5053699
Jessi Marquez is unique in the way she loves freely, gives selflessly, and lives her life with passion and abandon.  She draws people like a magnet in a rare and special way.  She hears God’s voice unlike anyone I have ever met and through her experiences with God, she invites those watching to draw nearer to Him as well.  She lives out the words that she speaks and has been called into a life of ministry.  I know that God is going to use her in big ways and am excited to watch where He takes her next.  While the rest of us returned to America on November 20, Jessi felt God asking her to spend two extra weeks in Europe completely alone ministering to the lost and the broken.  Jessi followed the heart and will of God at great cost to her and we all cried as we watched her open the door to her taxi which would be the first of many God would open for her in the two weeks which were to come.   Jessi still owes over $1000 and if you would like to contribute you can do so by following the link below:  http://jessimarquez.theworldrace.org/?filename=bio  If you would like to hear about her adventures traveling solo in Europe you can read her blogs here:  www.jessimarquez.theworldrace.org.
