How a 375 Mile Hike Transformed My Community

Last month we celebrated women in missions, and this month we’re giving it up for our guys. We’ve poured over blogs from men on the field along with those of the thankful ladies serving beside them. They’re stories of fun and freedom, challenge and compassion, honor and humility. And the lasting impression we’re left with is a man who looks like Jesus. Every year, over 200,000 people travel to Spain to walk El Camino de Santiago, or The Way of Saint James. For hundreds of years, El Camino has been a gathering place of religious pilgrims and adventurers. They travel...

Honoring a Generation of Men Who Show Up, Stand Up, Speak Up

Last month we celebrated women in missions, and this month we’re honoring our missions-minded men. Fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, friends — we’ve poured over your stories with thankful hearts swelling with pride. They’re stories of fun and freedom, challenge and compassion, honor and humility. And the lasting impression we’re left with is a man who looks like Jesus. A man like you. You said “yes” to the call. Whether your mission field is India or Indiana. Whether you stepped off a plane or off your front porch. You stood up, showed up,...

Our Favorite Adventures In Love

This year, we’ve focused on stories inspired by our We Are the World Race Campaign. This month, we’re sharing stories inspired by women on the mission field. (Don’t worry guys, your turn is coming next month!) Our experiences with women worldwide have taught us what womanhood really means. Women are wired for intimate relationships and deep, abiding love. And even when that “love” is used to take advantage of them—things like human trafficking, prostitution, and exploitation, to name a few—women teach us about beauty, femininity, joy, and...

How a Ladyboy Found Freedom in the Red Light District

Sometimes it doesn’t take long to change someone’s life. Justin Farmer, of the September 2012 World Race J Squad, learned what God can do in a month when we’re willing to serve.  His name is Q. He’s about five feet, four inches tall, like most of the Thai men around here, and from the moment I met him, I loved him. Actually, we met him twice. The first time, he was dressed from head to toe like a woman. Blending in with all of the other ladyboys, he sat behind the bar and smiled at us. We asked for his name, and he replied, Q. Nothing more was said. He left,...
