Hello dear friends from Christian Chat!

I would like to ask you to consider praying and possibly fasting for me as a huge and amazing opportunity came up for me! I got accepted to be one of 130 Missionaries that will be part of the World Race.

It was in 2016 during an unforgettable night that I prayed to God and I told Him “I really just want to travel for a year, being discipled and forced to die to myself while doing ministry. That is all I want to do.” And since I kept getting confirmations along the way, that this was something He was lining up for me. And now I am so excited to share with you the door He opened for me!

In August 2018 I am embarking on an Adventure of a lifetime with the World Race. An 11 month mission trip which will lead through 11 countries and across 3 continents! This is the route I am traveling on: Chile, Peru, Colombia, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Through the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities, plant churches, work in orphanages and minister to women and children trapped in human trafficking.


I got accepted in April and I know this is God's will because of all kinds of confirmations. I know I will see such amazing miracles from now until my launch in August. That God is an amazing Provider and so far all kinds of things have just supernaturally fallen into place, like only God can orchastrate things.

Things you could be praying for me:

1. Pray for our (me and my squads) emotional, spiritual and physical health during this very difficult journey and that we will stretch and mold according to God's will. That we will allow Him to change us in whichever way pleases Him. Pray for our safety and for our relationships and bonds to be strong and that the way we come to serve and love each other will be like the 11th commandment Jesus gave his disciples.

2. Pray for the counties we will be visiting and the communities we will come in touch with. Your prayers and fastin will help pave the way for our ministry and build bridges we can cross to bring Christ's healing and freedom into spiritually dark places.

3. Me and all my squad mates are in the process of intense fund raising. (I just now am in the process of even beginning). Please pray that we won't get discouraged and that the money will not be the nr. 1 concern we have! That we don't forget to keep our eyes on Jesus throughout this journey and that this mission is secondary to bringing glory to our God. He has to always remain nr. 1.


Thank you SOOOOO much!!! <3 Also: Please follow me along on this journey!
I have a World Race blog! If you are interested in my blog, DM me and I would love to share it with you!

God bless you all, and of course I would absolutely love to answer any questions you might have!

Thanks so much ladybug!
Haha I would not want you to fast for me in that case, but having your prayers really means a lot! thanks <3
 
You're welcome.. yeah, I have to eat, so fasting isn't an option for me, for much more than a day anyway.. :)


Thanks so much ladybug!

I know fasting for me is hard too! I did it once for two weeks but i just went on a vegan and sugar free and gluten free diet so all the pleasant things were gone haha :D

It was SOOOO difficult but also super rewarding...
And refried beans on gluten free bread with green onions was surprisingly good lol
 
It's not so much that I can't fast, but it's probably just not a good idea since I'm an epileptic..:) But in any case, I'm praying for you..

Wow, that sounds like an AMAZING opportunity!! I will definitely be praying.
 
Hi Angelika ~ I will pray for you, dear. That is quite a trip! Do you happen to know what missionary organization is sponsoring the program, where it's based and who is its founder? Also, will you be able to keep in touch with your family and friends during the trip?

the Lord bless you.jpg
 
Hello Auntie!
Thanks for asking these questions :)

Yes! It's a solid foundation. Through Adventure Missions in Gainesville, Ga. Seth Barnes is the founder of this organization and many people from my former church in Gainesville know him personally and trust him.
I had a few friends who used to be missionaries with me that did the World Race and loved it... And one friend who started and did not finish due to a blood infection she received from a cut on her leg and some other reasons, and clashes she had about the experience.

And yes! I can stay in touch with everyone pretty much, we usually have access to WIFI to keep up our blogs, and many have to fundraise while racing as well. Our final Deadline for the goal is in November so four months after beginning the race. Also in the price we raise is included two plane tickets for our parents to come visit us in our 8th or 9ths month to where ever we will be at that time... :D So they do take really good care of us!
We all are insured and all that and we have a two week training camp before hand to prepare us for the journey as well...
 
Lord bless Heart_Melody and this prayer, and you be glorified. In Jesus gracious name, Amen!
