Family & Friends,
Five years ago I made the best decision of my life and I became a Christian. Ever since I made this decision, I felt like the Lord has been calling me to more. I ignored the call for years because I felt like I was not equipped, or good enough to serve the Lord in a ministry setting. Over the course of the past year I decided it was time to stop feeding my insecurities and put my “yes” on the table. I started praying through what this calling looked like in my own life. Something that has consistently been brought to my attention that I had ignored was the World Race. The World Race is a long term mission trip. 11 countries in 11 months. The World Race partners with local ministries and organizations in each country to care for the lost and hurting. Each day we will be administering to the needs of the people in different ways. This could look like serving in an orphanage, participating in medical clinics, building houses, working with special needs students, helping women who have been victims of sex trafficking, hiking to remote villages to share the gospel, etc. Anybody who knows me knows that missions have been something that I have been very passionate about since a young age. My purpose in life has been “to seek out those in need.” So thinking about my next step, the World Race is my dream. So I decided to apply, not thinking that they would choose me to be one of the select few that get to go on this journey. However, when I received the phone call that I had been accepted to this program, I knew that this was my purpose. I have never felt more confident or sure about anything in my life. I feel confident enough in this calling that I am willing to sacrifice my life here and everything I am accustomed to, to move across the country for 11 months to serve others. I have no doubt that the Lord is going to provide the provision for me to go on this trip.
