Where oh where in the world is Jake these days?

Last time I broadcasted I was in the Philippines...  Was somewhere else with limited to no internet access... Where oh where?!!

Rumor had it that I was in China, possibly Hong Kong.  Some had a thought that I was somewhere in Africa.  Kenya one would suggest.  Others even thought that I was even in South America.  Well no more guessing...

I am back in the good’ol USA.  After 3.5 months of being out on the field with the  most amazing group of World Racers, the Oct 08 squad, I have found myself in Port Huron, Michigan.  It really is a God thing.  The rumors were true.  Over the past several months, I have been blessed to see more parts of the world and the need for God.  We started in Manilla, proceeded to China, and then East Africa.  Having spent two months crossing the landscape of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, there are several stories I am looking forward to sharing.

I have now been invited to be a part of the World Race leadership team.  More specifically, I am partnering with an amazing team of World Race alumni coordinating the Setup and Logistics for the entire program. Talk about an amazing opportunity and crazy responsibility.  God help me and the team.

Under the leadership of Michael Hindes, this team is working to meet the underlying question by many young adults of, “is this really all there is to living a Christian life?”  I have had the amazing opportunity to see what a generation of young adults looks like as they go through a process of abandonment and surrender in an effort to find their true identity in the Kingdom of God.  In such we have organized a team of alumni here in Port Huron, Michigan to lead this through the next coming years of growth.

It really is a nice change considering I have spent the greater part of the last two years in so many different places.  At this point and for this season, I actually have a bedroom and bed to call my own.  Talk about a stark change from living on the field and in so many different places.  The nations will continue to call and I will have the great chance to serve as I get to serve the teams of WR’ers.

I thank you for hanging on to the sporadic blogs that have been posted.  One of the luxuries that I currently have is pretty consistent access to the internet.  Throughout all these travels, the miracles, the stories, the adventures, and just amazing stories of God showing himself true have all bottled up.  I hope that you will continue to walk with me over the next several blogs as I finally take a moment to recount and remember them as I write them in blog format.

Thank you again for all your prayers and continued support.  None of this would be possible without your willingness to partner with me in this God adventure.  May the Lord bless you.

Blessings

Jake
