Pass the Baton


At the beginning of our journey to the mission field, we attended RACE: Reciprocal Assessment and Candidate Evaluation, a requirement by World Team before you begin partnership development (support raising).  At the conclusion of our time there, they gave us a baton much like this one.  On the baton it reads, "It is not enough to run the race.  You must also pass the baton." Brandon often talks about our call in these terms.  We have been given the baton and called to take it to France and share the Gospel.  We had the privilege of sharing a little bit about France and our call to missions with Karis's kindergarten class today.  Even those young 5 and 6 year olds could understand what it means to pass the baton, to share Jesus with their friends and others they meet.  We can learn a lot from these young ones who are not afraid, too busy, or complacent to make a difference in their world.  So how about you? Are you still holding the baton or have you found ways to pass it on to others? How does God want to use you? 


RACE is a week-long assessment process designed to help you proceed prayerfully, boldly and purposefully on the course God has marked out for you. - See more at: http://us.worldteam.org/content/RACE/293/RACE:%20Reciprocal%20Assessment%20&%20Candidate%20Evaluation#sthash.nh4aRl98.dpuf
