God has done some amazing things with our journey to Vancouver, and this event was just another way we have been seeing Him work. A few months ago, Scott Grisham (who's family is going with us to Vancouver with us) and Jeff had the idea to do a 5/10K race to raise money for theCrossings. Well around the same time, God was laying it on the hearts of Frank and Jamie Lee (they are a young married couple at Trinity, who have a 5 year old son who is friends with Ty) to do the same exact thing. Frank talked with Jeff and Race Around the World was born. After 2 months of planning the Race was on Oct. 17th and was AWESOME!!! We had over 100 runners and it all went very smoothly. We are Praising God for this new way to raise support, and we are so thankful for friends like Frank and Jamie who were so receptive to what God was telling them to do.
Here is Casey, one of our volunteers, out at the wee hours of the morning getting things ready in the cold!

This is one of the sweetest stories. Sweet Caroline ( a friend of Ty's) decided she wanted to raise her $8 dollars for the fun run part of the race. So she did extra chores and began asking people to help support "The church Ty was starting in Vancouver" She ended up raising $60!!!!!! Tears still come to my eyes as I think about her bringing in her box of money! She has such a sweet and tender heart.
On Your Mark, Get Set,...... 
GO!!!!!!
