Nearly a year and a half ago I set out on the craziest adventure called The World Race. This trip took me to 16 different countries on 4 different continents. I touched foot in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, snuba-dived in the second largest barrier reef system in the world, stood at the bottom of the world’s largest freestanding mountain (Mount Kilimanjaro), went on an African safari, rode an elephant, swam in the Nile River, Lake Atitlan, and Lake Victoria, took a boat ride to tropical islands, explored the largest temple in the world (Angkor Wat), looked up at two of the tallest buildings in the world (Petronas Towers), and the list of adventures goes on.
The realness was in the ministry and community. My life was transformed along with thousands of others. I preached the gospel to 11 different nations, loved orphans, gave a homeless man the shirt off my back, prayed for the sick, fed the hungry, taught English, built houses and churches, and loved like never before! I saw and experienced suffering that isn’t even comprehendible but I experience God’s love through it all!
I fell in love with the people of the world, traveling, exploring, cultures, and languages. More importantly I discovered TRUTH about what it is to being a true follower of Jesus. I found the freedom that I had been missing all of my life. He took me from a place of wanting the American Dream to living out a Kingdom Dream! He began the process of molding me into a man of God and taught me how to love like Christ. God revealed to me my passions and my hearts deepest desires. Most of all He showed me my PURPOSE!
The journey continues…
After much prayer and thought I have decided to attend Generation 42 Leadership Academy in Mijas, Spain come October. G42 is a discipleship training school connected with The World Race. The reason I’m going is to be mentored and equipped to take my passions and dreams and to use them for Christ! Last year I fell in love with photography and film, taking over 13,000 pictures and countless numbers of videos. At G42 I will be doing the Media and Creative Arts track where I will focus on film. G42 is passionate about raising up leaders and empowering this generation to use their talents in spreading the Kingdom of God around the world! After 6 months I will be presented with multiple ministry opportunities to discover what the next step in my life will be. I know this school is where God wants me and I’m so excited to have family and friends join me in making these dreams come true.
Please pray about supporting me through prayer and finances. Total cost for the academy is $6,300, which includes classes, housing, and meals. All personal expenses will come out of my own budget. For the next 5 months I am working as much as possibly to put money towards these expenses and also airfare. I cannot do this without you! To support me you can click HERE.
