Shelli's World Race…


 

My Next Step…
I have been accepted to the World Race… a crazy, intense, 11-month journey across the world, literally.  Starting in September 2012, I will be leaving for a year to live among the people of multiple countries and share the love of Christ. 
I am ready… to step out of my comfort-zone, and be exposed to what God is doing in the world.


What is The World Race?

The World Race is an 11-month mission trip around the world. It encompasses many different aspects of ministry: evangelism, deliverance, healing, building, community support, church planting, etc. as led by the Holy Spirit. We will partner with local ministries while in each country to be most effective in what we do.



Where?

I will be traveling on September Route #2 which includes:

 

  • Thailand
  • Cambodia
  • Vietnam/Laos
  • Tanzania
  • Mozambique
  • Swaziland
  • Dominican Republic
  • Haiti
  • Moldova
  • Romania
  • Ireland


Help me?

The World Race has asked that I raise $15,500 total for this amazing year.  Seems crazy, but hey, sometimes we have to take crazy risks to watch God provide!  I can fundraise throughout the year I am away, but I am setting an even crazier goal to have all funds raised & pledges made BEFORE I leave in September. I would love for YOU to help me financially, to run my race!



Another post will be coming soon about how you can be a part of my World Race experience through various forms of support. Until then, please be praying for myself and my team as we prepare for TWR. If you feel led to give before my next post about support, please click on the "Support Me" tab on the left.
