This last week was spent back at base camp as a debrief from our domestic mission in NC and as prep for our first country, Colombia! We spent the days in worship, teachings, and some one on ones with leadership. With more free time in between. One day they took us to a nearby lake for the day! We tubed, played guitar, and water colored on the beach, it was so fun. I’ve been starting to draw and water color more often, it was something I didn’t know I enjoyed/ was good at! The second to last night, they took us to waffle house for a fun one of our last meals. It was a very restful and fun last week in America. It was also my birthday on the 3rd, which was also our sabbath/off day. I got to go to coffee and lunch with some friends and walk around downtown Gainesville. That night we packed everything up before leaving at 6 am for Colombia! My next blog will be about our first week abroad! Keep my team and squad in your prayers, pray for us to have boldness and for unity as a body in christ!

God bless,

Shelby

Hi everyone and welcome to my World Race blog! I am beyond excited for this next season of life. I leave August 29th for Gainesville, GA where we will do a couple weeks of training before heading out to the nations! This past March I went on a mission trip to Colombia with my church. This was a a very influential trip for me. God revealed to me the importance of international mission and placed the burden on my heart to take the next school year to serve. Since a child, the Lord has put in me a deep desire for world travel. And since then my love for Jesus has only grown, making international mission an exciting and purpose filled opportunity for me! Unfortunately, a mission of this extent comes at a price. Even though we are serving the Lord, housing, plane tickets, and food are not free. And a non-profit organization is not equipped to financially support multiple groups of people in this endeavor. Any and every donation is so greatly appreciated. Thank you!
