A fter 13 countries, 4 continents, 1,000’s of
orphans, 30 different cultures, 21 languages, countless number of people
experiencing God’s love all in 11months: My journey has just begun.
God took me around the
world to show me His love for all of humanity. In the midst of this crazy journey, I saw and experienced a lot of
suffering. Instead of fleeing from God,
I saw a deeply rooted love He has for each person. In the places where some would say God
abandoned, that was where I found Him. The hope and love that God expressed through me transcended all language and cultural
barriers. The message of Christ pierced
thousands of hearts this year and I can’t wait to be dancing and singing with
them in heaven for-ev-er.
With all of your
prayers and support a girl has walked away from a life of prostitution. Coco, an
African mother suffering with HIV, has finally found hope for her eight children. A tiny church body in Guatemala is encouraged and strengthened. A Myanmar village hit by Cyclone Nargis (May 08) heard
the name of Jesus for the first time. A
Thai masseuse felt the power of the Holy Spirit and was healed from her thyroid.
A Gypsy village in Romania starts to understand the power of loving one
another. And a young 23 year old American girl was gently guided to death of
herself only to find a life worth living in and for Christ. Above: Moldovan sunrise. 5:30 a.m.
journey has just begun. After
experiencing the amazing power of God, I can’t help but live a life sold out
for Him.
next step in life. I have been praying
about how I am to be used in His Kingdom. This year has allowed me to dream freely and think beyond any
limitations I have placed in my future. Adventures
in Missions has partnered with Generation 42 Leadership Academy located in Mijas, Spain. More information http://www.g42global.org/leadershipacademy/index.html
The academy will be a
perfect transition for me after the World Race. G42 and the World Race is rising up leaders for the Kingdom of God. They
are passionate about empowering generations to use their gifts in the way God
is calling them. They are passionate
about the Kingdom being planted all over and seeing the church arise.
I see this school as
being a next step in discovering more of the ministry God has started in
me.
I am planning on
attending the academy June 15th and will be there for six
months. Please pray about supporting me
in this next journey in prayer and financially. To support me click here or click on “support me” on the left hand side of this page . Just type in Tara Stephenson and
