What's a Comfort Zone?

I've never gone this long without sleeping before! 

Ever since my decision to fully commit to going on The World Race, I haven't been able to sleep. My mind continues to run like crazy! All I can think about are the people that I am going to meet around the world who desperately need Christ. All I can think about are the heartbreaks that I will encounter around the world. All I can think about are the adventures that are to be had. The excitement of developing new followers of Christ. The humility of feeding an orphan. The fear of combatting human trafficking. The daunting task of raising $15,000.

I won't even recognize a comfort zone.

Beginning in January, I will serve as a missionary to 11 different countries for 11 months through a program called The World Race. Through adventure, ministry, community, and self-discovery, World Racers develop broken hearts that propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom around the globe. On the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches, missionaries, and ministries in local communities to preach and teach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations.

I am so grateful for this opportunity that God has given me and I have every confidence that He will provide for my needs! Ultimately, my prayer is that He will do that through you. I don't have my blog and support site set up yet. Hopefully I will have it up and running this week. While I am preparing my site, I hope that you will take the time to prayerfully consider helping me through this journey.  Also be on the lookout for some exciting events that I will be planning in order to help raise support. One of them coming up soon will be the Amazing Race: Springfield Edition. Be sure to find a teammate and start preparing for an awesome race!

I am so excited to see how God will move in my life and in the lives of others in the coming year. I hope to not only to be a blessing to those I serve, but also to you. I would be honored to go as your representative to bring Jesus Christ to nations around the world. I want to thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support.  May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry.

I hope you enjoy this video that will show you a little bit about what I will be doing for the next year. 

BIG News!

It's official.

I am going on the World Race!

January 2013

More info coming soon, but here is my prayer card. Please be praying for me as I prepare to raise financial support and spiritually prepare for this journey, because millions of people from 11 different countries will be depending on me to introduce them to the savior of the world!
