11 Countries in 11 Months
of
Abandoning a traditional lifestyle in exchange for a dramatic paradigm shift through
Adventure, Ministry, Community, Self-Discovery, and Spiritual Growth.

India With nearly a sixth of the world’s population within its borders, India is a country bursting with people and culture. Moreover, it has a diverse array of religious beliefs from Hinduism, to Islam, to a blend of folk religions and other faiths. While the country is on the edge of full economic development, it’s still stricken with poverty and privy to the crimes of human trafficking, forced prostitution, religious persecution, and more. So what will you do in India? Change it from the inside out. |

Nepal Home to Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, Nepal literally sits on top of the world. In addition to adventurous experiences you will have here, you will also visit widows and orphans in their times of distress and protect the innocent who are prey to human traffickers. This month of your World Race experience will submerge your in a culture that is desperate for an encounter with the living God. |

Pioneer Central Asia Ask God where to go and do what He tells you. It’ll be one of the most adventurous and memorable months of ministry that you’ll have on the Race. Thailand or Cambodia, or maybe to Vietnam, China or Malaysia? God could lead you anywhere to unveil His kingdom. Are you willing to abandon this month on the Race to Him? |
| Thailand With nearly two million people estimated to be trapped in prostitution, Thailand has become one of the most popular places for what is called “sex tourism.” Men and women from all over the world travel to this southeastern Asian country to violate young girls for the price of a few dollars. In the midst of so much despair, there is such an opportunity for hope and redemption. It won’t be easy work, but Thailand is sure to capture (and break) your heart. |
| Cambodia 28 years ago, Cambodia experienced one of the most gruesome genocides known to humanity, in which over one-third of the country’s population was slaughtered. Still in recovery from their past, the people of Cambodia are thirsty for hope and yearning for a message of forgiveness and reconciliation. Part of your ministry here will be to act as a living example of the freedom Christ can bring. |
|
Kenya The Kenyan people are colorful, musical, artistic and hungry for the love of Christ. The Masai bush, the Nairobi metropolis, and the Kibera slums all make up a country that is culturally diverse, yet historically unified. As a new era dawns in Kenya, so does the Gospel of truth and faith. By meeting felt needs in the bush and in the city, the World Race participants are producing fruit and long-lasting ministries to carry on even after they leave. |
 |
Uganda From the Ugandan islands in Lake Victoria to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the African people share a common bond: the need for hope. Home to Africa’s “Big Five” animals, Uganda is full of wildlife, people, and history, most notably of which is the recent explosion of news about the Lord’s Resistance Army and child soldiers. Through relational evangelism, church-planting and discipleship, you will be a part of a movement to further the kingdom of God in this incredible region of the world. |
 |
Pioneer Africa Three times during your World Race experience, your team will take a month to ATL (ask the Lord) for a new mission field. He may lead you someplace in the middle of a buzzing city or somewhere that can’t even be found on a map. Either way, it’s a time of listening to the Lord’s voice and following him with true abandon. |
| Romania The northern regions of Romania are home to the gypsy people. Though strangers in their homeland and forgotten by society, the gypsies are a strong and vibrant people who embrace the light of Christ in an inspirational way. Here you’ll teach English, lead sports camps, live life with the gypsies, and more. |
 |
Ukraine Caught between its past oppression under the USSR communist regime and the desire to be accepted by Western society, Ukraine is a land of many ups and downs. Thankfully, there’s hope, light, and life spreading like wildfire throughout this nation. Is it the kingdom of God coming in power? We think so. |
 |
Pioneer Eastern Europe Another month to ask God where He might send you. By this time in your journey on the World Race, you should be well seasoned in hearing the Lord’s voice. Moldova? Montenegro? Greece? Where will you spend your last month on the Race? |
Let’s be the hands and feet of Christ who advance the Kingdom of Heaven
and proclaim the Gospel of Grace.
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” (Isaiah 61:1)
