Last month, we emailed this out to tens of thousands of people. It's the essence of why we send young people out on a pilgrimage to find themselves in Christ. We're banking on the hope that more people like Brady will "get it." Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested:

This is from Brady Denger, a World Racer who left the country in June for a journey straight into the heart of life. Read below for a taste of what she's discovering about herself along the way:

I'm learning that the World Race isn't about ministry. It isn't about saving orphans in Africa or rescuing young prostitutes in Asia. Ministry is a tool or more often a
byproduct of what it's really about.

The World Race is about saving me. Saving me from a life of complacency. Saving me from comfort. Saving me from a life where I fulfilled my dreams but not necessarily God's dreams for me.

And while the World Race is focusing on saving me, I'm learning that it's not about me at all. I'm learning that the world is not about me. Even my own life isn't about me. I'm learning to dream God's dreams.

Isn't it about time you learned to dream God's dreams? The World Race takes you on an epic pilgrimage to find out who you really are and who God really is. Now is the time to really live it.

There are still several open spots left for World Race January 2008, but they're filling up fast. Take a few minutes and apply now by clicking here for this world missions adventure. Be sure to email this to a friend.
