The World Race

Hello all,

 First, I want pray for Rob and Sheila as they begin thier new life.  Rob and Sheila are two of the most sincere Christians I know. I pray for God to be lifted up both in their marriage and in their missions work.

The reason for is this entry is to share what is going on in my life. I recently found a missions trip I feel led to go. The trip is a year long and goes through eleven countries. I feel this would be a great opportunity to see Christ at work in other parts of the world.

I need prayer at this point as I follow up to see if this trip is truly a calling or just ething I want to do. There are some obsticles to overcome to determine if I decide to go.

The first is I would like to comissioned and have the blessings of my church to go. This however is not run by International Missions Board which sanctions most baptist missionaries. The next is the cost of the trip Approx 14,000 dollars and this does not include the trip to Georgia for training, spending money, the cost of visas, and needed supplies for the trip. God will provide if it is his will I should go I have no doubt but my small church cannot fund a trip of this magnitude. So please pray with me on this matter.

It is my prayer that God could use this trip to help learn to lead missions groups. That I would learn to really appreciate what really matters in life. It is to be whereever God wants me at all times. I desire to in the middle of where he is working. I want to lose the I and me mentality I have and learn to to be a better giver. I will post more here as I begin the application process. Please read the inspring stories of those now on the race.
