Hello I am 18 years old, and I am a Senior in high school. my parents are Christina and Matthew Hamilton, I have one sister, a half sister, and two half brothers.Since I’ve Found out that I am going on the World Race Gap Year I have been Trying to fund raise for the trip, I have been doing exercises and walking/ running to help me physically get ready. I feel called to help others, and spread the word. what lead me to doing the World Race is I did Not feel like college was the right plan at this time so I wanted to go on a mission trip and take a Gap year.
What exactly am I doing next year? Let me tell you. Next September I (along with fifty other 18- 20 year olds) will be traveling to Costa Rica, South Africa, Thailand, and Myanmar over the 9 months that Ill be on the WR Gap Year. we will be spreading the word of god and the love of Jesus Christ in the towns, and communities of each countries. Also learn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and learn to walk in his footsteps by spreading the word. I was really scared when I was making this decision, but after long amounts of praying and talking to God, and my family I new it was the right choice.
What led me to this? I have no clue! I’ve always been drawn to helping others, and right when I learned about WR gap year I wanted to do it so bad but did not know if it was the right time. but I prayed about it and I now know that it is the right thing for me to do. I cant wait to go on it in September and I will keep you updated.
