Hi everyone! So, I’m sure you all know by now that I’ve been back in the states for a little over a month. Towards the end of the race, I began praying over my next steps and after many confirmations from the Lord, I decided to apply for a program at Adventures in Missions called CGA (Center for Global Action). This is a discipleship program designed for alumni racers; to be more specific, this five-month long progra...

Hi all, as you know blogging was not my strong suit this year but I want you to be able to see a little bit of what this past year looked like. Also, I just cannot thank each one of you enough for the support and prayers over this past year. I was able to go and have my life changed forever because of your generosity so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!! GUATEMALA: This was an incredible first ministry month....

I think you all have come to see I'm not the best at writing blogs; I feel like I learn 20 life-changing lessons every day here, which I will never complain about, but it makes someone like me have no clue where to even start. We are now in the seventh month of the race, and I'm just in shock at how fast this year is flying by. We have worked with such incredible ministries; please check my Facebook for updates on...

Hello, long time, no blog. I feel like I’ve lived 27 lives since I last posted a blog. It has been hard for me to write blogs because I want to do God justice when I explain just how good He has been to me. We are almost done with our fourth month on the race and coming up on team changes. So I figured I would let you guys in on some of the amazing things God has been doing in my heart. I came on the race living a...

Do you ever feel like you cannot distinguish between the Lord’s voice and your own? A prayer of mine throughout this past month was for the Lord to make his voice unmistakable. Today, He certainly did! This morning our squad split up around the city of Antigua to do Spirit-led evangelism (we call it Ask the Lord). Basically, it is asking the Lord to point out specific people, places, or things He wants us to go an...

Since arriving in Guatemala, I have been asking the Lord to reveal Himself to me in new ways each day. This hunger I have for His presence is something quite new to me. I ask Him to show up and HE DOES. Each day on this journey I’m given a sweet moment from the Lord that reaffirms His deep love for me. This story is one of those special moments: A way I feel connected to the Lord back at home is when I’m alone....

At first, I was thrilled when I got accepted to the World Race back in January, but I was quickly flooded with thoughts of you're not good enough, you're not worthy of sharing the gospel, you're not strong enough to leave home for 11 months, etc. These thoughts became like a song on repeat in my head until a few days into training camp. I couldn't put my finger on what this meant or where it was coming from until I r...

God put it on my heart to open my journal and look at where I was this time last year. I found a prayer I’d written from February 2020: “Lord, I am terrified of my future… who I will be. I don’t want to let You or the people in my life down. Keep me strong and trusting of Your plan because it seems so unclear. Thank you for giving me a passion for service. Help me to follow wherever You lead me, even if it is n...

First off, I cannot believe I am making a post about why I’ve decided to go on the World Race. This has been a dream of mine since my freshman year of high school. I’ve always seen myself taking this journey, but I’m blown away that the time has finally come. I’ve had a passion for missions since the fourth grade when my mom and I went with our church to serve at an orphanage in Guatemala. Since then, I’ve taken seve...
