That’s why when I send an email sharing about the World Race, I try to show pictures of real people preaching the gospel, healing the sick, setting the captives free. I believe people long to see the kingdom come with power. Here’s an example below. I hope you’re challenged to believe that this stuff is real, and that we can do much more than just talk about it.
Are you dreaming God’s dreams for your life? The World Race can wake you up to your destiny.
Adventure: Hiking volcanoes in Nicaragua. Facing harsh waterfalls in Thailand. Bungee jumping in South Africa.
Discovery: Growing in your identity and authority as a Christ-follower. Learning to pursue your dreams. Amazing coaching and training.
Ministry: Feeding the hungry in Mozambique. Rescuing orphans in Swaziland. Bringing justice to the sex trade in Asia.
Community: Doing life together. Living in authentic relationship. Undergoing intense discipleship.
World Racer Eric Hanson says, “I am being molded and formed, and I cannot go back to who I was before.”
Mallorie Miller says, “I have learned that we are created to live in community with others, which reveals our truest selves. My teammates have seen me at my best and at my worst. This is a school of transformation.”
The World Race is a year-long trip of self-discovery and ministry around the world. It is designed to wake you up to your destiny and role in the kingdom of God. Spend a few minutes to see if you’ve got what it takes for one of our teams leaving in 2008!

You know, I spent a year in Afghanistan with the military and God used that year to transform my heart, my thoughts, everything about who I thought I was…and I wished that everyone could go off and have the kind of “wilderness” experience that I did. To realize that you are not the person you were when you entered…that person died.
And it just makes me so happy to see opportunities like this for the non-military sort. I know some people probably thought you were crazy at first, Seth, but the World Race is what our generation needs. They need to understand and experience how the rest of the world lives. They need to know the dire situation that the world is in, because everything we’re taught says that happiness comes with a price tag and rhinestones. We’re being lulled to sleep by our culture and its values, and I’m glad there’s a way for people to wake up. Thanks for what you do and your courage to try God’s craziest plans.
Thanks for writing, Jen. And thanks for the encouragement. You’re a hero for what you did for your country. I hope you’ve been appropriately honored for your sacrifice.
amen, Jen. I agree that we all need to leave home and although that may look different for each of us, we can’t just stay put and think we’ve effectively grown up. one must leave at least for a short while to do that.
