Looking back over the last few years of my life, I am in awe of God's faithfulness. Two years ago, I was a wide-eyed college graduate with the whole world (literally) ahead of me. I had no clue then that my life was about to be flipped upside down.

Now, twenty-one months, countless giggles, hundreds of new friends, numerous salvations, a hand full of miraculous healings, one faithful Father, and twenty-two countries later - I am forever changed.

I get lost in awe of how big our God is when I think about the times we shared the Gospel in Red Light Districts. I am amazed every time I think back to the month where we saw over 1200 people receive Jesus as their savior. I feel my heart break as pictures of extreme poverty flash through my mind. I can't help but laugh when I remember the kids who showed me the heart of Christ, and I just want to burst with love thinking about the beautiful faces, stories, and lives that have impacted mine over the last twenty-one months. 

It has truly been the privilege of a lifetime serving as Jesus' hands and feet while on the field with the World Race. I have never been more alive! 

As I wrap up my time here on the mission field, I want to invite you along for the journey of what God has next for me.

In October, another squad of World Race missionaries will pack up and be sent ‘to the ends of the earth’. I have been given the incredible opportunity to step into the role of mentoring this squad throughout the entire yearlong process!

As a Squad Mentor**, I will be working stateside in Gainesville, Georgia where I will be overseeing, discipling, training, and loving on 40+ new World Racers. It is a huge honor to have the opportunity to equip, train, and empower a new generation of men and women who desire the more that Jesus promises in John 14:12. 

I am so excited for what God has in store, and I can only imagine how He is going to continue to move!

I have the responsibility and privilege to raise support for the ministry of Adventures in Missions. If you'd like to be a part of my support team, I'm looking for 25 people to be intentional prayer and financial partners throughout the year at $30, $50, $75, or $100 a month. Or, if you'd like to hear more about what I'll be doing, where I'll be going, or how you can get involved, email me at madisongoodwin@adventures.org - I would love to hear from you! 

**As a Squad Mentor, I will have the opportunity to lead a collaborative leadership team to guide the process of spiritual formation for World Race participants across all phases of the trip cycle: training camp, launch, and field. I will have the privilege of discipling World Racers through regular teachings, one-on-one sessions, prayer, and ministering to our squad’s field leadership team. I will be a minister equipping, training, and leading missionaries.
