The Lord moves in mysterious ways. Over the last few months, our team at Adventures has spent time praying, fasting, and seeking God’s direction for where He is moving right now. Many visions and dreams have been shared with us and I want to share them with you now, in this time of uncertainty. In recent weeks, several members of our larger body have also had quite similar visions, long before COVID-19 began to surface and greatly impact our ministry. Several of our elders have seen visions of a map lighting up in different locations around the world. While we’ve seen lots of maps lately as...

In the first blog of our Grow with God series, World Race: Gap Year Participant Valerie Maddox shares about how choosing to be present with God has allowed Jesus to show her where she needs to grow and impacted her relationship with God. I’m currently sitting on a plane and was just watching part of my vlog from Month One Debrief. I was looking at a screen of people dancing, singing, laughing, encouraging & loving each other, and so much more. Those people are my family. I looked at them and at the beautiful image of the community that we live in. It almost felt as if I was getting a...

In the final blog in our Love God, Love Others series World Racer, Sabrina Wegner shares about her time learning to cook in Nicaragua from a humble, joyful woman. Sabrina shares how this woman made her feel wanted and accepted in way that Jesus does and inspired her to strive to love others this way herself.   After traveling all day yesterday and the day before, we are now officially in San Jose, Costa Rica! We’re debriefing for the first few days about how our first month was before we jump into month two ministry, so there’s a small window in which I can relax and get...

In the second blog in our Love God, Love Others series World Racer, Kristen Duguay shares about meeting a woman the night after she committed suicide in a hospital in Argentina. Kristen weeps with her over her pain and shares that Jesus fully knows us and STILL fully loves us and that he wants us to live. One of our ministry days looked like our entire squad going to the hospital that is downtown. Everyone had gone once before and worshipped in the lobby and also prayed for people. This time was a bit different. They wouldn’t let us come up into the main part of the hospital until the...

In the first blog in our Love God, Love Others series World Racer, Gisele Buenaventura shares the story of the ring she got for her 32nd birthday in South Asia. Like most of us, Gisele had experienced a great deal of hurt and rejection throughout her life and finally came to realize the everlasting love that would never abandon her and the one that could redeem all things was the love that had been there all along. I loved walking through the streets of South Asia. It was crowded, noisy, bustling as vendors attempted to attract us with their goods for sale. I loved the old smell of the...

We believe that Jesus intended to change the world. When He asked us to pray “thy kingdom come,” he wasn’t just speaking poetically. He really wants us to live lives where praying and believing for the “kingdom to come” is part of everyday life. Maybe you’ve sensed that you are made for more than what you are currently experiencing. Maybe you’re yearning for someone to show you how to find it and live it out. When you grab hold of the possibilities for what your life can look like when you live in relationship with God, you can do anything. But for real, where do you...
