This past week I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Adventures In Missions campus to take the perspectives class. Perspectives is a class focused on learning about God’s global mission. It taught me so much about God’s heart for the nations throughout the entirety of scripture. There were also some very valuable lessons on cultural and strategic tips for sharing the gospel in a cross-cultural setting. The information from this course was definitely a lot to process, but the Lord was still able to teach me a lot. I feel like the things I learned through this class will be very beneficial for me as I go on the World Race. I feel as if I have a better understanding of the biblical basis for what I am doing and why I am doing it.
I also took the class with a bunch of former racers. It was super cool to be able to hang out with all of the former racers and get a little glimpse of what I’ll be doing for the next 9 months before I officially leave. Everyone I met was super awesome and very encouraging. I was able to receive a lot of advice from people who had previously experienced what I am about to experience. They shared loads of wisdom with me as well as some very useful practical tips. This experience made me even more excited about leaving for the Race than I already was. Please pray for me, as I leave very soon on this adventure.
