The typical World Race is not launching in October, but the leadership has given some great options for us future Racers.
I can either wait to (hopefully) go in January, wait until next August that we would be more sure to travel or begin my World Race journey here in America.
I have been praying for clarity in this big decision, wait or go. I am so thankful for these options and how the Lord is sending His people exactly where He wants them. Most often, making decisions is hard for me, from small decisions to big ones. But this decision was not hard at all.
I am going to be a full-time missionary starting in October!!
There are ministry hosts partnered with the World Race programing who currently run local ministries of their own who have invited us to join and spread the gospel alongside them! Talk about living our your faith, I am so thankful to be invited into this!
After a couple months when other countries begin to open up, we may travel to Central America, South America and Southeast Asia. At each of these locations, we will get to contribute to long term work at these ministry centers.
My prayer since the beginning has been that God’s will would be done. That He would lead our team exactly where He wants us.
Oh, what a faithful God to answer our prayers!
I have been learning how to show myself grace in the midst of changing plans. I have been learning how to accept the Lord’s plans for my life even when I am unsure of what He is doing. Mostly, I am learning how to live in deeper dependence on Him.
Lauren, Jim and I continue to pray with you as you have been seeking God’s direction in making your decisions. I am so proud of you as you grow in your faith, pressing into what God is teaching you, depending on his truth and security in midst of a very uncertain world. Paul talked about running the race for the prize of the high calling in life. The world is filled with prizes that perish, but you are running for the prize of eternal life! Our prayers continue for your confidence in knowing God’s plan and his protection as you respond in obedience. I love you??
