The World Race  

 

“For when You did awesome things that we did not expect, 
       You came down, and the mountains trembled before You. Since ancient times no one has 

heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, 
       who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.”

Isaiah 64:3-

India With nearly a sixth of the world’s population within its borders, India is a country bursting with people and culture. Moreover, it has a diverse array of religious beliefs from Hinduism, to Islam, to a blend of folk religions and other faiths. While the country is on the edge of full economic development, it’s still stricken with poverty and privy to the crimes of human trafficking, forced prostitution, religious persecution, and more.

Nepal Home to Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, Nepal literally sits on top of the world.   have many adventurous experiences here but most importantly, I will visit widows and orphans in their times of distress and protect the innocent who are prey to human traffickers. This month of the World Race experience will submerge me in a culture that is desperate for an encounter with the living God.

Pioneer Central Asia Ask God where to go and do what He tells you. It’ll be one of the most adventurous and memorable months of ministry that I’ll have on the Race. Thailand or Cambodia, or maybe to Vietnam, China or Malaysia? God could lead me anywhere to unveil His kingdom.

Thailand With nearly two million people estimated to be trapped in prostitution, Thailand has become one of the most popular places for what is called “sex tourism.” Men and women from all over the world travel to this southeastern Asian country to violate young girls for the price of a few dollars. In the midst of so much despair, there is such an opportunity for hope and redemption. It won’t be easy work, but Thailand is sure to capture (and break) your heart.

Cambodia 28 years ago, Cambodia experienced one of the most gruesome genocides known to humanity, in which over one-third of the country’s population was slaughtered. Still in recovery from their past, the people of Cambodia are thirsty for hope and yearning for a message of forgiveness and reconciliation. Part of your ministry here will be to act as a living example of the freedom Christ can bring.

Kenya The Kenyan people are colorful, musical, artistic and hungry for the love of Christ. The Masai bush, the Nairobi metropolis, and the Kibera slums all make up a country that is culturally diverse, yet historically unified. As a new era dawns in Kenya, so does the Gospel of truth and faith. By meeting felt needs in the bush and in the city, the World Race participants are producing fruit and long-lasting ministries to carry on even after they leave.

Uganda From the Ugandan islands in Lake Victoria to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the African people share a common bond: the need for hope. Home to Africa’s “Big Five” animals, Uganda is full of wildlife, people, and history, most notably of which is the recent explosion of news about the Lord’s Resistance Army and child soldiers. Through relational evangelism, church-planting and discipleship, you will be a part of a movement to further the kingdom of God in this incredible region of the world.

Pioneer Africa Three times during my World Race experience, my team will take a month to ATL (ask the Lord) for a new mission field. He may lead me someplace in the middle of a buzzing city or somewhere that can’t even be found on a map. Either way, it’s a time of listening to the Lord’s voice and following him with true abandon.

Romania The northern regions of Romania are home to the gypsy people. Though strangers in their homeland and forgotten by society, the gypsies are a strong and vibrant people who embrace the light of Christ in an inspirational way. Here I’ll teach English, lead sports camps, live life with the gypsies, and more.

Ukraine Caught between its past oppression under the USSR communist regime and the desire to be accepted by Western society, Ukraine is a land of many ups and downs. Thankfully, there’s hope, light, and life spreading like wildfire throughout this nation. Is it the kingdom of God coming in power? We think so.

Pioneer Eastern Europe Another month to ask God where He might send me.  By this time in my journey on the World Race, I should be well seasoned in hearing the Lord’s voice.  Moldova?  Montenegro?  Greece?

    

After living in Costa Rica for two years, I was just starting to get comfortable again. The Lord wasn’t about to allow that.
I had that feeling in my heart again that He was going to move- that things were going to change.
 I had no idea what to expect….

 

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,

according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church

and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Ephesians 3:-21
