The deadline to apply for the January 2012 World Race (Route #3) is October 15, 2011; training camp for the January 2012 Races begins October 16, 2011. That means you have roughly 3 weeks and 3 days to decide if you’ll change the world next year.
The Race will begin in 3 months and change — plenty of time to prepare. Read the following story from Krystle Desales and you won’t be able to tell God, “But I need more time!”
Well, God had a different plan
in mind; instead the Lord planned that I go on the September 2011 Race (A squad, 2nd generation). I
looked at the trip: it was 11 months long, cost $14,800, and training camp was one week away.
I told the Lord, “Okay Lord, I’ll just apply, there is nothing really I am
deciding right now, I am just applying.”
I
long to be used and for God to use me.
That was a quote I wrote in my journal a
few weeks before I decided to go on the Race. As I searched through the World
Race website at the different upcoming squads, I felt compelled to apply for
the human-trafficking focused trip because it was only $7,000 (which I thought, “Okay
that’s not too expensive and it’s only for four months”).

The Lord had a
different idea; I got accepted. I
had to have $1,500 in my support account in four days. Immediately, like any
other person would, I panicked!

All odds were against me on going on this trip
because training camp was in Chattanooga, Tennessee, so I had to figure out: how
to get a plane ticket to fly from California to Tennessee, $1,500 in my support account, and all
the gear I needed — in less than a week. Questions, doubt, discouragement, and
despair flooded my mind.

and I will provide.”

In less than 48 hours I was blessed with a plane
ticket to training camp, $1,500 plus a monthly donation of $50, a phone
call from an alumna telling me she would let me borrow all her
gear. I recorded everything people gave me.

In four weeks, I looked at my support
account; I had $4, 172. Within 3 days, I received $3,273. A week before my squad
and I were suppose to leave, the total in my support account was $8,718.

The day before I left on my
going-away party, a woman I recently met came up to me and told me that she
would cover the rest of my support, whether it was
$10,000 to $5,000. She said she heard from the Lord to bless.

So as I launched out to my first country, I was fully funded!
I know that God’s hand was upon me, even through all
my unbelief, because in less than three months God raised $14,800 and I tell you
that more is still coming in. In the airport, as I was talking to my parents
before leaving for my first country (Romania), my dad told me
that a woman I had met only once gave me $500.

God can provide.
He wants to and He WILL.
