Honorable Mentions
The Charleston Daily Mail featured John Michael & Ashley Bonasso (September 2011 Z Squad) in their Food & Living section.
They feel a little anxious but mostly are excited about the adventure… They believe their lives have been blessed with love, encouragement, education, work and much more. It is time to give something back in a way that will change their lives forever, they said.

Before & After
During the World Race, God does amazing things through you: He heals & saves, with lives transformed as a result. God doesn’t wait for the World Race to begin moving nor does He stop when the Race ends; read the following stories:
- Renee Durham went into training camp hampered by severe tendonitis and leaves without her ankle brace…
- Life hasn’t been the same since Don Brensinger went on the Race; he wrote this eloquent post in Guatemala, where he’s leading college students on a mission trip
