Just sent this to all friends and supporters of the World Race and wanted to share with you. We'd really appreciate your help in distributing this to your networks. Our office has put together press kits and promotional tools to get the word out about the WR, so there's lots of resources at your disposal.

Dear Fellow Adventurer,

I am writing to you from China. We're wrapping up a year of adventures with our January World Race squad. Many are going back to lives they will barely recognize. They have been transformed by this trip, all because they were faithful to the call to give God a year of their lives.

One World Racer reflects: "I went to college, earned a degree, and was ready to jump on the fast track to the nice life. Now, I can't imagine going back to the
life I once

desired. I no longer want to be the same. I'm not afraid that my life may never look the way that I thought it would look. Because I know there's more!"

Another describes the challenge of communal living: "Life on the World Race is just like marriage, except I married six people that I didn't even know, let alone choose. And in this marriage we live, work and play. It's doing life together, 24/7. Very few people ever experience what it's like to live in true community and let me tell you: Community is hard."

It's hard, but it's real. These are some of the most genuine relationships you'll ever have. A year on the World Race challenges you in ways that you've never been challenged. It calls something out of you that you never knew existed.

The Race continues. We have two more teams in the field, and another trip begins in January. Young people are waking up to their destiny, realizing they need a journey to discover their identity and role in the kingdom of God.

If you have been journeying with us through these stories, I want to thank you and challenge you to pursue God's dreams for your life. Fill out a quick application for the World Race.
