I’ve been asked by several people “should I go on the world race?” Only you can answer that question
for yourselves. I will say, the things you’re most generally concerned about;
RAISING THE MONEY
SLEEPING A TENT
HIKING LONG DISTANCES
CARRYING YOUR BELONGINGS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR ON YOUR BACK
FORIEGN LANGUAGES
PHYSICAL STRENGTH & STAMINA
EATING FOOD YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE
are not the hard parts……rather living in community with strangers …..requires much grace and patience.
you’ll need to be willing to have all rights, expectations and privileges stripped away. Are you willing to come to a place in yourself that challenges and most often breaks everything you have come to know and believe about you…..your faith ……your religion. Are you willing to challenge your thinking and beliefs and realize quite often it’s not true…..
please Don’t misunderstand, you’ll meet amazing people, see some of the most beautiful things in all creation, participate in worship like no other on earth, have opportunity for great adrenaline hyping fun & fear……..But the biggest adventure is the inward journey between you and God….just you two.
It’s the hardest, best, most fun, most lonely, loudest, challenging, scary, crazy thing I’ve ever done………I regret I waited to be almost 50 to do it……….The question is… can you afford not to do it?
