The World Race

Today we went to Granada to meet with a missionary couple who are working with the mission organization Adventures in Missions. They are going to be moving here to help run “The World Race”.
The World Race is an eleven month mission trip for people in their twenties to early thirties. They divide into eight different teams and travel around the world ministering to the poor.

The great news is they are going to be using Campo Alegría as a debriefing base! Potentially we will be hosting them four or five times a year for week long debriefs. They have already come once before and think the camp is a great place for them. We are very excited to be involved in such a wonderful ministry!
I love mission organizations that take young people overseas for extended periods of time. I know they are changing lives doing ministry, but also everyone who is on the trip will never be the same.

Another neat thing is the missionary couple moving here are relatives of some friends of ours who went to Bethany College with us. It really is a small world!
