Like the Amazing Race you might ask?
Kinda but not quite. So much went on in April before I left for Australia and one of those included my being accepted for the World Race in January 2012. More specifically it's an 11 month missions trip to 11 different countries. Pretty insane hey? But I'm pretty darn pumped. It's with a non-profit, interdenominational, American organization called Adventures In Missions (AIM) and they send out groups on different routes in January, June, July, August, September and October. Each larger squad group is divided into smaller teams of 5 or 6 people who essentially become family over the course of the year.
I've spent almost a whole year already praying about if this was the right thing for me and clearly, I came to the conclusion that yes it was and thus I applied. Some people think I'm crazy and others are really encouraging but either way God is calling me and I am being obedient. You can click here to access my World Race blog if you want to read more about why I am choosing to go on this insane adventure and choosing to be the hands and feet of God.
The countries I will be visiting while on the January 2012 Race Route include:
Phillippines
China
India
Nepal
Swaziland
Mozambique
South Africa
Moldova
Romania
Haiti
Dominican Republic.
Some of the activities we could be doing include, but are not limited to, running day camps, doing construction, building relationships with orphans, praying for the sick at a hospital or teaching others about God. Either way each day will be focused on doing the work of God's Kindom.
In order to participate on the World Race I need to fundraise $15,500 PLUS the cost of my flight into our departure city, a round trip flight to training camp in October, medical insurance, gear and vaccinations. Right now that seems like a huge and daunting number but I have faith that God will provide. My first amount of $3,500 is due October 1, 2011 and then another $3,000 two months later.
If you are feeling called to give a tax-deductable, monetary donation in support of my trip please visit my blog and click on the "Support Me" link under my picture (on the left). This will bring you to a page where you can donate using a credit card. Financial donations can be given as a one time gift or as a monthly donations where you choose the start and end date. Additionally, you may make any cheques payable to Adventures In Missions, PO Box 534470, Atlanta, GA, 30353-4470.
