How do I get out of here?
Maybe you made a mistake somewhere along the way. You compromised and started following an easy road, a broad road. And you know Jesus talked about a narrow road, but you’re having a heck of a time finding it, much less walking on it. Where’s the on-ramp?

There’s a great gulf between deciding to quit and actually quitting. This can be good and bad. On the one hand, a great many more people attempt suicide than actually succeed in ending their life.  On the other hand, you can find yourself stuck in a depressing rut and despair of ever getting out.

The Awakening :: Ireland 2010
REGISTRATION ENDS ON JULY 31st!!!!

We’ve all heard the rumor and the whisper of another world. A world where nothing is impossible, and the barrenness of the earth begins to look like the fruitfulness of the garden.

The Awakening is a time to gather with like-minded people who are desperate to pursue this as normal Christian living. Join us for a time of worship and impartation. A mighty shout will be heard as past, present, and future racers converge.
 
August 30 – September 2, 2010 in Dublin, Ireland

WR :: Human Trafficking Edition

January 2011 – May 2011
Application Deadline: October 15, 2010
Human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery, is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world, based on the recruitment, harboring, and transportation of people solely for the purpose of exploitation. Over 27 million men, women, and children are enslaved in our world today, 80% of which are women, and 50% are children. We believe God has a divine purpose and plan for these individuals and that we get to be a message of truth and hope to them.

And the lame shall walk!
By Sarah Hoffman
“As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.  Freely you have received, freely give.” -Matthew 10:8

I never expected to see a God work a miracle.

Service With A Smile
By Lyndsay Holly

The longer that I am on the World Race, the more I feel like I am really living out the way that Jesus’ disciples lived.  Not in the way that I am “more holier than thou” or am always walking side by side with Jesus, but just in the way that EVERYDAY is different.

Tanzanian Devil
By Brian Swanson
We have joined forces with Bill Swan’s team (Team Powerhouse) and are doing a lot of evangelism this month.  From preaching Sunday sermons, outdoor gospel preaching, to door to door through the slums and teaching new believer’s classes and bible studies, we are pretty much in a perpetual state of sermon preparing.

Video testimony (1 of 2): Delivered from Demons
By Katie Rowland

In Nov. 2009, Pastor David Douchard hosted a seven-day conference at his church in Carrefour, Haiti. The lives of three teenage girls were changed by Christ because of that conference and the spiritual intervention that happened afterwards. Hear the story of how three girls were delivered from evil voodoo spirits, as told by Pastor David, who played a key role in the process.

More and more people are going deeper in their relationship with Christ through their participation in The World Race. Lives are being transformed.
