Here’s the second half of our upcoming World Racers’ responses, continued from this earlier post. Later on, we’ll highlight a few of the blogs from the Racers. In the meantime, continue to pray for the W, X & Y squads; pray they’d focus on and rest in God in the midst of the tying loose ends, running errands, last-minute preparation, processing everything they’ve learned and experienced during camp, raising support and spending quality time with their friends, family & church.
