What is the purpose of racing for days at a time? Is it fun? Well, honestly not that much! Ok the stories are fun but not the actual doing it. I needed a purpose for this crazy sport.
While working out one day my friend Pat, said, "Oh I have something for you." It was a brochure for XMA. It was called adventure with a purpose. After reading this I knew this was for me.
XMA goes into areas of unreached people groups. Some areas you must paddle or hike to reach the people. It seemed perfect. Randy Pierce, the founder, was coming into town the week I called. We met and Randy had a new opportunity for ministry-Slovenia, the adventure capitol of Europe.
Initially, I didn't want to go there. Now, do not get me wrong this is a paradise. I didn't feel like it would be a real mission trip and I have a heart for children in the remote villages. But after prayer, and talking more with Randy this is where I am to go.
The neat thing about this trip is I get to go with a group. I normally adventure race alone. It is a tough place to minister but we go to "earn the right to be heard." We'll be competing in the Slovenia Adventure Race the end of June.
The trip looks like this.
Duration 7 - 10 days
1)Team members will participate or volunteer in the Slovenia Adventure Race.
2) Before the race we will prayer walk and do literature distribution.
3) Earn the right to be heard: Team members will race or volunteer for this adventure race. Our goal is to race well, to earn the right to come back and be more involved through Adventure Racing Camps. We'll have teams there to win, and teams there to finish. Cost- $3000: This includes transportation, airfare, race fees and lodging. Fund Raising- XMA has some ways for you to raise funds for your trip.
We'd like to bring 2 teams, but we cannot do it without you. Adventure racers are a special kind and we want to bring everyone we can.
Do not worry. You do not need to build an entire team. I will help put teams together.
Please let your church know about us. We can even come speak if you'd like. If you cannot make this trip, consider another one. XMA goes every month, that will push you physically and spiritually.
Our missionary there wanted to stress that these people are in need. Suicide is rampant there and they are desperate for the gospel. Please consider joining us on this exciting opportunity to share the gospel.
