Ever since I can remember my siblings and I were jetting off to some random part of the world.  It made for an exciting childhood, and now as adults, not much has changed.  I joined the race in January and my brother joined in September.  Conveniently enough, the A+B squads collided with D (September teams) squads in Bangkok last week and I got to see my brother!  We had a full two days of hanging out together, catching up on the last year and enjoying one another's company.  I am so blessed to have such an amazing family.  My brother has blown me away with his reckless pursuit of the Lord.  He's touching lives and taking names!  And, he's being honest about his struggles - something that can often be hard to do.  Check out his blog: sethbarnesjr.theworldrace.org.

In other news - thank you so much to everyone who has helped make this
expedition possible thus far.  You have
all been such a blessing.  The Lord has
continued to provide the necessary means at different stages that I've needed
this year.  I wanted to update you on my support raising.  AIM headquarters recently let
me know that I still lack about $1400 total in my AIM account.  If you'd like, there is still time to give to this ministry.  You can either mail in a check to Adventures in Missions.  Or, click on the link to the left, "Support Me!" and give via credit card. 

Please pray for me as I finish up final support raising efforts.  Please pray that God would continue to provide (which he always does).  I love you all so much!  I'll be home in a little over a month!
