I could not be more excited to share my heart for missions, travel, and, above all, Jesus on this blog over the next nine months.
CHECK!
I first heard about The World Race during my sophomore year through a YouTube channel I had been watching for years. She mentioned that after dropping out of college, she didn’t know what to do next. So she went on The World Race! After that video, I immediately searched WR. A simple Google search planted a seed that was just waiting to grow into fruition. During my senior year, I went through every option. Ministry school? Christian college? Gap year? Missions? Or should I just travel in a van??
For some reason, I kept coming back to WR. Then one day, I saw that World Race had a program available with all the things I had been wanting! Ministry and college classes? Check! Gap year? Check! Travel? Check! And most of all, missions. Check!
SEEDS
The Lord put missions on my heart at a young age. I was eight when my parents took my brother and me on a mission trip to Mexico. This was another seed planted in my heart. Since then, I’ve known missions would somehow be a part of my future. And now it is!
HEART
I am most excited to do what the Lord has called me to. He has given me peace that my future is in his hands, and that is overseas. With that comes my dream to see the world, connect with my peers, and tell the world WHO Jesus is. And that they get the opportunity to KNOW him. Not just know about him.
NEEDS
I have two requests for my readers. Prayer and financial support.
1. PRAYER
Ephesians 6:19-20 (ESV):
“[Pray] also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.”
I ask that you pray this over my life! Also, that the Lord would prepare my heart and keep me safe in the months to come.
2. FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Romans 10:13–15 (ESV):
“For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!’”
If you aren’t the goer, you are the sender. We are all called to preach the good news! In this season, God has called me to go. I need support from those who can send! My Financial need is to raise $17,700. It’s a big number, but whatever you can provide will be appreciated!
THANK YOU!!
I leave for the world race in a little less than three months. I am truly so ready to take the next step in the journey God has set before me. But I could not be doing what I am, without the support of those around me. My friends, family, and church(thats you readers!!), have prayed, guided, and loved me through each season of life. I cannot wait to take you along with me on this journey called The World Race!
