THIS IS WHY IM GOING

Hello Friends, Family, and World racers! 

Its officially 2020, a brand new decade! A decade that’s going to change me, wreak me, and bring me closer to God. Its the year I’m going on the world race gap year! I have had so many of you ask me why I’m going on the world race.

Im going on the world race because Im living for Jesus, Jesus called me to lay down my life to him, to give him everything I am, will be, or ever dream of. I am called to make disciples of all nations, I am called to go love others, every person of every race, religion, background, and show them the love that God has so graciously given to me even though I don’t deserve it. Jesus died for me and for every human. 

I dont want to just sit down and live my life for myself or this world. I dont want to simply walk through everyday with no purpose. I want to wake up and know that the purpose of that day and every day is to share his love with others. I have a fire inside of me that I cant contain, a joy that God has given to me. Im not holding that  in, I am not going to stay silent. I don’t care what the world or what people think of me. I wouldn’t want to do anything else in my life except to honer Jesus.

Im not going on the race for myself 

Im not going to simply check off a box 

Im not going to gain likes or to be popular 

Im going to honer God, my loving him and loving others 

I don’t know where the money will come from, or if all the details are lined up yet, I just have to trust him with my life, but what I do know is that God knows what my tomorrows will look like. I cant wait to leave and spend every second of my day living on missions for JESUS 

This is my route and where me and my team will be serving and what ministries we will be partnering with.

Meet Fabi and Mabe from Inca Link!

Everyone who comes to Quito, Ecuador and spends a night at Casa Blanca is impacted by Fabi and Mabe for their generous hospitality and how they demonstrate Christ’s love. Fabi’s favorite part of his job is when people feel at home, can hear God speak, and share how God is changing their lives in Ecuador. Both he and Mabe have a goal to make teams feel like Casa Blanca is their home away from home!
