I know this to be true because Christ's' passion lives and breathes in my heart. At "Care-Point" #3 in Nsoko Swaziland, I met her, and the smile that took me thousands of miles deep into the heart of The Father. Baby is her name.

I wanted to share it with ya'll because it's really great!Three months ago yesterday, 27 World Racers from all over America and Canada met in Florida to begin a journey that would lead them through all kinds of unknown trials and joys, throughout 11 countries over the course of 11 months.They've worked together to bring hope to communities in Peru that had lost everything.They lavished love onto kids and taught them the truth o Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://angelatibbo.theworldrace.org/?filename=in-pursuit-of-devine-order http://angelatibbo.theworldrace.org/?filename=in-pursuit-of-devine-order To voluntarily ostracize oneself from their own culture and tradition is to embark on a journey of discovery. Discovery of self, and divine purpose but more importantly the discovery of a realm outside of the norm, a Kingdom crowned with The Glory of God. By coming on The World Race I have somewhat conscientiously asked God to set the bar higher for me, to call me to uncommon levels of communion with Him, His Kingdom and His people.

God has proved to be faithful to me in numerous ways, always providing when I need it, and continuously teaching me through it all. The first thing that God addressed with me, was back in October, he told me that The World Race is His, not mine, its not an experience I choose to take, it is a gift from him and that I should position myself to receive it in full. This was a tremendous burden lifted from my shoulders.

Here is what it looks like; I currently have $5178 in my account. AIM has given me the goal of $8280 by March 1st. To meet that goal I will need $3102 by March 1st.

We have spent the past few days in debreif. Which meant no internet to keep you all updated... Saying goodbye was difficult. I have built relationships with quite a few people in Tambo De Mora and the reality is that I will`probably never see them or hear from them again. There is not even a chance of writing letters , as they have no home address.

While in some areas people only wet their friends and family, there are districts where everyone is a target. Men, women, children and even moving vehicles become targets for young (and sometimes old) pranksters." - Peruvian News Article - www.livinginperu.comWho was the target yesterday??The day started out very innocently.

We brought with us pizza and soda. The people of Canchamana have given us a great taste for Peruvian food and we wanted to share with them a North American meal. Most of them liked it, other's tried to hide their dislike. I saw a man, maybe in his 60's try to pawn the rest of his slice off on a child, the child refused to finish it as well. It was comical, a little off the charts for their liking.

You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." I often think that I know what is written in the Bible or how to be an example of a good Christian.

Especially a little boy, about the age of 2, named Andri. For 2 weeks I did not see him smile. He was often crying and would not join in with any games or activities. I have been praying for him and have asked that you all would pray for him. My heart simply wanted to see him enjoying life the way that a 2 year old should.So one evening last week a few of us girls took pizza to this family's ho Sun, 3 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://angelatibbo.theworldrace.org/?filename=walking-into-the-unknown http://angelatibbo.theworldrace.org/?filename=walking-into-the-unknown Our teams have continued to immerse ourselves into soul refreshing ministry here in Tambo De Mora.

Just to recap, Tambo De Mora was a prosperous fishing village that was hit the hardest by the earthquake in August 2007. Literally thousands of families have lost their homes and family members, their lives have been devastated. About 300 families have been moved to a dirt field and they have put up make-shift shelters.

We definitly made it safe and sound to Chincha Peru. Our plane arrived around midnight on the 5th. We quickly made our way to a hostel in Lima and settled in for 5 hours of sleep before beginning our first Race day. The Race went a little something like this; we had to find our way around the city of Lima, collecting experiences such as learning about Peruvian historical figures, and places, eating strange delicacies Tue, 8 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://angelatibbo.theworldrace.org/?filename=lord-with-you-theres-nothing-i-cannot-do http://angelatibbo.theworldrace.org/?filename=lord-with-you-theres-nothing-i-cannot-do Lord with You, there's nothing I cannot do Home is now over 4000 miles away. The adventure begins! New Years Eve, I flew across the country to Winnipeg, Manitoba to spend some time with family and friends before The World Race begins in Peru on Jan. 5th! Saying goodbye in Halifax was very surreal.

So, I'll leave it to an expert! Eric Hanson, just returned home after a year abroad with The World Race. This is his account of spending a year at the feet of Jesus. I have set my feet upon five continents over the course of this year. I have seen the wonders of the world, those widely recognized, but many more that only a few on this earth have ever seen.

Here is my story... "Can I ask you a question?" I was completely caught off guard by a voice that seemed to almost echo through a realm other than the noisy Toronto shopping centre. I thought for sure I had just heard the audible voice of God, but to my dismay there was simply a strange man standing to my left.

This is what I believe... You can look at this physical world and it's plain to see that one of the most influential things in our lives is money.

The first training camp for the Jan. 08 World Racers! My 1300 mile journey to Gainesville began at 4am. By the time I was seated on the plane, I was overwhelmed. I don't know if it was all the unknown challenges I was about to face or the fact that I thought a 6 am flight would be the fun thing to do. I arrived at the ATL airport anxiously wondering about the racers I was about meet. It turned out to be a great day!

I have entered into adulthood with a sense of adventure, mostly beginning with God and a canoe. My experience as a wilderness canoe guide has left me hungry for a life of the extraordinary! I am, and always have been a risk taker, willing and ready to do the unimaginable. This has been frustrating at times for me because I have often questioned "who am I?"
