Why World Race?

If you had asked me a year ago what I’d be doing after graduation, I’m not sure I would’ve had a clear answer. I knew I wanted to help people. I knew I wanted to live a life that meant something. But I also felt stuck; unsure of my purpose, unsure of where I fit, and unsure of what God had for me.

I’ve always had a heart for others, but it wasn’t until Jesus truly transformed my life that I began to see what that heart was created for. He met me in the middle of my uncertainty and showed me that my identity, my healing, and my purpose could only be found in Him. His love pulled me out of brokenness and into freedom. That kind of love changes everything, and now, all I want is to help others experience that too.

That’s why I said yes to the World Race GAP year, where we will be partnering with local churches and communities to serve, love, and share the Gospel. Truthfully, I don’t entirely know what to expect, and that’s both exciting and scary. Some days, that might look like helping with VBS, praying over a stranger, or speaking about what the Lord has done in my life. Other days, it might mean picking up trash, playing soccer with kids, or listening to someone’s story. I know I’ll be stretched, challenged, and pushed outside my comfort zone. But no matter what the day holds, the heart of the mission is the same:
to love like Jesus.

This trip is about being a vessel. I want to show people the same love that changed my life. I want them to know they’re seen, known, and deeply loved by a God who is constantly redeeming stories. Saying yes to this journey is saying yes to something far greater than myself. It’s stepping into a purpose that’s been written on my heart long before I even realized it; a purpose to go, to love, to serve, and to point people to the One who gives life.

Thank you for following along, for praying, and for supporting me. I can’t wait to see what God does in me, through me, and in every place we go.
