Full Speed Ahead (What's Next for Me!)

-
This short season is coming to a close.

CGA ends in less than 2 weeks. 2 weeks! That’s insane.

This has been a great time in my life, full of learning and growth. For one of the first times in life I feel like a genuine adult, which is weird. By that I mean, I feel like I have a true grasp on where I’m going and how I’m getting there. The Lord has laid out a plan in front of me and I’m in step with it.

It’s a pretty cool plan, too.

I’m excited to announce that this coming January I will start a job with Adventures in Missions in the World Race department! My position will have two main themes. Most of my time will be spent doing development in the World Race. Improving it, doing projects, problem solving, and just trying to add value wherever I can. The other part of my time will be spend doing Squad Logistics for the World Race Fusion route.

This is a great fit for me, I think. I love problem solving. I love streamlining and developing things. It was something I tried to do a lot while working with campus ministries in college, and something I’m gonna enjoy doing in the World Race. My goal is to help bring the Race further and further until it reaches its full potential. I’m still very much passionate about the American church, and I think in order to change the church and thus the world then my generation is going to have to do a bulk of the work. As such, I want to help tons of people in my generation have an amazing experience on the Race and then come back ready to change the world.

As for Squad Logistics, I’m just as excited. World Race Fusion is a brand new route/program in which people from many different nationalities can come together to make a squad! There will be people from all over the world making up the Fusion squad! It's incredible! I loved doing logistics on my Race, and will love getting to be the contact for the Racers on the Fusion route as they live out their journey. Basically I will be their in-office resource. I will help them figure out logistics and finance stuff and be a constant contact for them. I also will encourage and support them any way I can. Something I truly, truly eager to do.

Needless to say, I’m excited.

For this position I will have to raise part of my salary. The Lord continually provides for me, and I know He will in this season as well. I’m (again) excited for the opportunity to bring more people into my journey by partnering with me financially and prayerfully.

If you’re interested in partnering with me prayerfully or financially please get in touch with me! My email is sethtpowell13@gmail.com. I’d love to talk more with you and explain how the process works. Or if you’re just curious about the job, or even just wanna talk shoot me an email!

Here is the link to the Fusion route so you can see more what it is all about: http://worldrace.org/?tab=routes&subtab=wr-fusion

Thank you so much for supporting me throughout the Race, through CGA, and now into my time working with Adventures. God has truly affected my life through you for something big, and I’m so thankful to have you right alongside me in it.

Oh, and thanks for reading too! It means a lot!

Going full speed ahead,

Seth

Incredibly Stuck

As my Salmon XA 3D Ultra 2 shoes crunch around on the several inches of well packed snow and ice on the road that ultimately leads to Long Creek Falls and I survey the area around me I realize something… I’m in a bit of a pickle. A very cold pickle. Let me back up a bit.  Impulsiveness is not in my blood. It’s unfortunate because I feel like people really enjoy being spontaneous. Being impulsive. I mean a lot of the teenage culture that is in the States is about people breaking the status quo, doing something crazy and going and living life in some funky new way. But it’s just not me. I try to plan everything. Meticulous research and detail. Surprises aren’t really my thing either, so I try to be prepared for any eventualities. Even when I say I’m being spontaneous, there’s been some planning and thought that’s gone into it. Knowing all of this about me puts into perspective just how interesting my weekend was. A little more background, first. Lately I’ve fel...

A Crumpled Dixie Cup

I’ll begin with a confession. Not particularly big one, or one that’s all that shocking. But still a confession. I don’t rest well. I don’t power down easily. I tend to do things abruptly. I think in a “black and white” sort of way, so that’s the way I naturally live. As in, I’ll be going 100 miles per hour and suddenly I’ll crash. Basically “rest” comes for me once I’ve crashed. Like I said, not very explosive. But I guess in that sense, I’m a good American. We go as hard as we can until we can’t go anymore and that’s just life. There are no breaks, no stopping, time is money. Or time is whatever you find to be most important. Time is relationships. Time is business. Time is family. Time is fun. Could really be anything, I guess. Regardless I’ve begun to revisit a revelation I had a while back. And that is that the way I tend to emulate a high speed car crash… Isn’t that healthy. And it’s hurting me. Today I found the words behind a suspicion I’ve al...

One Heck of a July

I’m not sure I’ll ever forget July 2015. It was easily one of the longest months of my life. Good? Absolutely. Crazy? You bet. Exhausting? Like you wouldn’t believe. July is basically the apex of busy season around Adventures. We’re doing training camps for the squads that launch in September during that time. This September we’ll be sending 8 squads of around 30-50 (mostly 50) out to the nations. That means we had two training tamps in July. For me these were two very different training camps. Each training camp I was a trainer, which essentially is the leadership team that leads the new Racers through the training camp process. Prayer, listening to what they have to say, putting them in teams. We do it all.  I’ll remember each for different reasons. Reasons that I shall share now. Snapshot of training camp worship. The first one was a great time. I got to work with X squad, and they’re a fantastic bunch of people. What was truly special about this training camp w...
