Good day everyone and welcome to my blog. This is the first blog for the world race and honestly the first blog I have ever attempted. Writing is something that I have never really been into, but I guess we all have to start somewhere, so here we Goooo!

First off, I am Tim McWilliams, a 29 year old born and raised Coloradan, A&P technician by trade, and I absolutely love being outside. A few weeks ago I applied to the World Race and was so overjoyed that I got accepted. It is going to be an amazing and challenging opportunity for myself, but no worries I can handle it!;) Its funny to look at the events in my life, which let me to the world race. I had been praying for God to take the reins and he did just that. If I had not been let go from work for a couple weeks, I honestly don’t think I would be writing this blog right now. Actually, I would probably still be wondering around aimlessly with out any idea to what God wants for my life. He has answered a lot of questions in the last few months on what I think he wants for me in this life. The world race is a calling for me to go travel to 11 countries over 11 months with the opportunity to grow personally, help selflessly, and show people the love of Jesus. If you are reading this then I am about to tell you a few ways that you, Yes You, can help me out on this journey. 

First: Prayers! I have a lot of preparation that needs to be accomplished before October, and while on the race I will be challenged, pushed, and completely out of my comfort zone. Prayers for the race and while I prepare for the race and definitely welcomed and encouraged.

Second: In order for me to go I will need to raise a mere $18,071. This is by far a huge challenge for me. You can donate a one time donating or you can donate monthly. I will also be doing some fundraisers in the near future to raise money. I will update any and all who are interested. Click on the Donate button and help share Christ’s love by supporting me. Also Subscribe For Updates so that you can follow my journey and be apart of the World race through me.

Anything you can do to help or support me is greatly appreciated. Also share the word to you friends and family about my world race. Like they the more the merrier! 

Here is the fundraising schedule that I need to meet in order to stay in the race for the race.

  • $5,000 – Due 7/21/2017 (Fundraising Goal 1)
  • $10,000 – Due 9/22/2017 (Fundraising Goal 2)
  • $13,000 – Due 11/30/2017 (Fundraising Goal 3)
  • $18,017 – Due 1/31/2018 (Fundraising Goal 4)

Also, Adventures In Missions, Inc. (Adventures) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Adventures is also a member in good standing with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) which means that Adventures meets or exceeds all of the ECFA’s standards for the management of donated funds.

My route for the October 2017 World Race will include the following countries:

  • Chile
  • Bolivia
  • Paraguay/Argentina
  • Cambodia
  • Thailand
