Thanks so much for sharing your experience Julia! I'm doing the Race starting in October and am definitely feeling the nervousness, and doubt, and insecurity that you described, but it was very reassuring to hear that you and your squad mates went through the same things before beginning this wonderful experience. I'm glad to hear about how much it impacted you!
I stumbled across your vlogs when I was looking for more info on the world race. I also want to say thank you for showing us how God works with you on the race. It is also so gave me the fire to start saving for the race. Thank for everything Julia. God bless you and your future endeavors. Cheers, Owen C Mokelky
I found your youtube channel while you were in Thailand (and I LOVED that month!). But I did not start in Thailand I went to the world race training camp and watched all your world race videos until I was caught up. I have loved following you through this amazing trip! And I hope that some day Lord willing I will go on the world race. Thank you so much for video blogging the whole way through! I can't wait to see were God leads you next!
You are amazing! I just recently started to follow your race and ended up watching all the videos right from the first and it feels like i have been through the ride myself. Like consuming all of it in a very short span is really overwhelming. And, I am very sure, you will have learnt so much for life in this past year about how blessed you are, and people's cultural diversity, beliefs , behaviors and ignorance that lead to everything good or bad. And, it was amazing to have watched your vlogs and Yes apart from that, WAS IT WORTH IT? Yes, we could finally get to see your refreshing face with all the make up on, the hair done. Haha, ultimately proving that you are beautiful inside and outside as well. All the best in whatever you are about to do next!
It has been a pleasure watching your vlogs. They have blessed me and many others! They played a huge role in my decision to go on the World Race, leaving in January! Thank you again for allowing us to view your journey, and I pray for continual blessings and joy for you in the future.
I could honestly sit for hours listening to stories from the world race. I am literally ready to just get on a plane and experience all that God has in store for me. Anyway, back to the point, I am so proud of you and so thankful I stumbled upon your vlogs. You have inspiring me to be more willing to do gods work. The Internet is a crazy thing because I feel like I have a friend behind the screen and for that I am grateful. I'm so excited to continue this journey with you and see how God uses you. As always, prayers are coming your way.
+Logan Reese You are so sweet, almost every single video u comment the nicest and very meaningful comments! I think if you end up doing the world race you should vlog it.
I have followed your videos for months, but I had never watched this particular one start to finish. Your "happy place" vision is so powerful. Totally cried a little bit thinking about the fact that such a powerful God would care enough to enter an intimate relationship with ME! of all people. Thank you so much for these videos. You inspire me as a videographer and as a follower of Jesus.
You're such a beautiful person, inside and out. Next time you're in Portland, give me a holler. I'll show you around town. I'm going to Cambodia in a year, hope you go back there
I feel really called to become a missionary and go on this trip. I am just scared I won’t be able to afford it. I can’t go yet because I’m only 15 but I don’t know how I could get support to even be able to go.
Hey! I just found this video and I really really appreciate your honesty about your journey!!! One thing that stuck with me was ‘bad things happened but The Lord was THERE!’ That goes for a lot in my life in general: learning that gratitude isn’t contingent on this picture perfect experience, it’s dependent on the Goodness of God that DOESN’T change. I hope to do the World Race someday by God’s Grace and when the time comes, I’ll remember you! Your sister in Christ, Mute
Wow Julia, you thank us for the encouragement and support but we all want to thank you So much for your inspiring story that clearly is motivating for people to build up the courage to say yes to what God is calling them to do because we have seen it through you and your commitment to the world race and I'm only 16, but i would sure like to go on the world race when i am old enough. so, Thank you
i just recently found your channel and vlogs that you did in Guatemala!! it's beautiful what God has doing in your life!! So keeping it, you inspired me to travel in a mission trip!! God bless you, hope we can meet some day!!
Thank you for posting all of your videos! Your journey has inspired me to have one of my own. Hoping, trusting and praying to do the world race in two years. What kind of camera did you use for you your vlogs? Can't wait to see what God has in store for you!!
It's so amazing to see what God has done in your life! I havn't been watching your vlogs since the beginning of the World Race, so a while ago when I found a video from like in the middle of the World Race I was showing my friends your channel and I thought it was sooo cool to finally find a channel like this. It will be great to see what God has in store for you. ~Ashlyn
God has definitely done amazing things to you during the world race. Thank you so much for allowing me and everyone else to be apart of your journey. Can't wait to see what god has planned for you in the future.
Great video, Julia! I loved hearing both the good parts and hard parts of the World Race. Looks like God did amazing things for you this year 😀. I can't wait to see how the world race experience will impact you in the future as well!
Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm so glad God has showed you how things are from the other side! For sure he has many other amazing things to you, keep having an open heart to follow what he calls you to do! Keep it up!
Your work is inspirational! We all need to be disciples to each other and help and love one another as God died for our sins and love us. One of my favorite bible verse is such a powerful word in doing Gods work and on Proverbs 19:17, "If we are generous to help others and the poor lends to the Lord and he will repay them for their deeds." God bless!
Okay...this is a big issue for me! I really like the work and idea of world race and i really wanna be a part of it someday... But i don't believe in christ. I've always kinda hated myself for it, cause i love the idea of being a part of something bigger than yourself. I've had some tough obstacles following me all through my life...and i'm pretty young. I've always wished that i had something to believe in, i do think that that would have helped me. I've never heard the voice of god, or felt his presence. I don't know ANYONE to say this to...so you were kind of my last resort...hope this doesn't bother you to much
I appreciate your vulnerability, you can feel free to send me a message if you want. For now I want to ask if you have sought the voice of God? You say you have never heard it, but have you listened or looked for it?
Yes...or no...I have tried going to church, but just get really tired, and i have prayed a few times, but it just feels weird. Were i come from (Denmark) we have things thing called confirmation, it's a lot about god (I dont know if you have it in America too, it's kinda like a second baptiste) and i did choose to do that... I don't know how to write to you sooooo...
hey, ive been watching your world race videos and they've been really encouraging. Just if you had thoughts of other missionary opportunities, im from The Bahamas and there is a Christian sports camp i counsel at called Camp Bahamas, just incase you were interested realtalkcb.com
Have my interview coming up in exactly a week! I'm excited but also nervous your video encouraged me

Thank you so much for this video
The beginning is totally my life right now. Thank you for being so relatable about this!
I am sorry I just saw this, thanks for the kind encouragement!
I just wanted to come back to this video and announce that I'm going on the world race gap year to thailand, india and guatemala!!!
Wow! Thanks so much for this! Your testimony is one of many that lead to confirmation for the World Race next year!

Thank you for all this information! It helps a lot!

I miss the group. Hope you had a reunion after few years and show us no your vlog.
get excited it will happen soon!

This motivated me !

That is awesome, keep praying about it. God will provide the money if He is calling you to go, it will happen.
I admire you so much Julia! You inspire me to not give up on the plans God has for my life, thank you.
this inspires me one year later.
Hi Julia, Thanks for sharing. You're beautiful and I loved hearing about your experience about the World Race. Excited for your next journey. :)

I just saw this, have you applied yet? I used a canon S120 and T3i on the race.
Would you mind if I share this video as an example to my church as I give a presentation?
At least a few minutes of it? You said everything so well and I want my supporters to see this view of what the World Race is truly like.
for sure you can share any of my videos!
It's so amazing to see what God has done in your life! I havn't been watching your vlogs since the beginning of the World Race, so a while ago when I found a video from like in the middle of the World Race I was showing my friends your channel and I thought it was sooo cool to finally find a channel like this.

thank you Ashlyn! I am excited to see that as well!
You're a beautiful person inside and out :))
Julia, thank you for sharing your experience! Were you scared about meeting your financial goals? If not, were fellow missionaries worried?
I wasn't and it' wasn't too tough it is different for everyone.
God has definitely done amazing things to you during the world race. Thank you so much for allowing me and everyone else to be apart of your journey. Can't wait to see what god has planned for you in the future.
Thank YOU Danielle for all the support!
I wish you share what best you learned from different people?

Hey Julia, so I stumbled across your channel when I was looking up the Camino, have you always been religious ?
I want to go so bad next year on the gap year trip do you know anything about the gap year?
did you sign up?
Your work is inspirational! We all need to be disciples to each other and help and love one another as God died for our sins and love us. One of my favorite bible verse is such a powerful word in doing Gods work and on Proverbs 19:17, "If we are generous to help others and the poor lends to the Lord and he will repay them for their deeds." God bless!
that's really ecouraging thanks!
