It’s amazing how things can come full circle! One moment you are on the race and the next you are helping train 50 people to go around the world. While I was in Seattle I was asked to help with the World Race training in August for the squad that leaves in October. Of course I said yes. I’ve desired to be a part of the training for quite some time now. Truth is I’ve thought about these 50 people while I was on the race. They didn’t know me and I didn’t know them, but when I was in various countries I thought of them.
Allison Johnston is going to lead this crazy group of 50 people. She is by far the best leader for this team. She is the right women for this hour. Allison was my leader and all I can say is keep your eyes open because you’re going to see the Lord move through her and her teams!
“I am going for YOU. Every single one of you that is sitting in a cubicle dreaming of more. Every one of you that is home with the kids. Every one of you that has student loans to pay, classes to attend, families to take care of, and bills to pay. All of you that believe in something more. All of you that KNOW the God of love and want to share Him…This is for you”

“She prays audibly, something along the
lines of, “may she feel You bubbling over from her stomach”. i feel
her hand rest on my back a little while more and then she moves on. at
that point, i think, “that’s it?” mostly though, i continue to ask
(silently) for more of Him. as i open my mouth to pray aloud, i’m
literally dumbfounded and i can’t form the words. My tongue went numb and my jaw stiffened up a bit. and for the
next hour or so (according to erin & bev) i’m praying in tongues.
God gave me a prayer language, and i have no idea what i’m praying, but
i’m praying anyhow. it feels like i might never stop and the more i
pray, i’m practically kissing the concrete floor.” Sara Choe (Oct 08-World Racer)

“I told her about this upcoming trip and that
I was a missionary and yada, yada, yada. Her response was unexpected.
With her South African accent she said, “I cringe when I hear the word
missionree.” She went on to tell me that she has met so many
missionaries that do absolutely nothing. After expressing her views a
bit more I grabbed her hands, looked her in the eyes and said, “I’m not
that kind of missionary. Will you pray for me.” Marisa Banas (Oct 08-World Racer)

“I felt God in a way I’ve never encountered
before. I fell in love with my 6 new teammates, with whom I’ll be
spending the next 11 months. I was challenged physically and
spiritually.” — Bekah Phelps (Oct 08- World Racer)
