Spain. the next step in my life.

The following blog was written by Tara Stephenson, who will start at the G42 Leadership Academy in the June term. She is just one of the many who are coming to begin a life of community, discipleship, and become a part of what we call the 42nd Generation — of people realizing their inheritance in Christ! Tara finishes the World Race this month, so continue to pray for her as she takes this next step.

After 13 countries, 4 continents, 1,000’s of orphans, 30 different cultures, 21 languages, countless number of people experiencing God’s love all in 11months: My journey has just begun.

God took me around the world to show me His love for all of humanity. In the midst of this crazy journey, I saw and experienced a lot of suffering. Instead of fleeing from God, I saw a deeply rooted love He has for each person. In the places where some would say God abandoned, that was where I found Him. The hope and love that God expressed through me transcended all language and cultural barriers. The message of Christ pierced thousands of hearts this year and I can’t wait to be dancing and singing with them in heaven for-ev-er.

With all of your prayers and support a girl has walked away from a life of prostitution. Coco, an African mother suffering with HIV, has finally found hope for her eight children. A tiny church body in Guatemala is encouraged and strengthened. A Myanmar village hit by Cyclone Nargis (May 08) heard the name of Jesus for the first time. A Thai masseuse felt the power of the Holy Spirit and was healed from her thyroid. A Gypsy village in Romania starts to understand the power of loving one another. And a young 23 year old American girl was gently guided to death of herself only to find a life worth living in and for Christ.

Like I said, my journey has just begun. After experiencing the amazing power of God, I can’t help but live a life sold out for Him.

God has revealed my next step in life. I have been praying about how I am to be used in His Kingdom. This year has allowed me to dream freely and think beyond any limitations I have placed in my future. Adventures in Missions has partnered with Generation 42 Leadership Academy located in Mijas, Spain.

The academy will be a perfect transition for me after the World Race. G42 and the World Race is rising up leaders for the Kingdom of God. They are passionate about empowering generations to use their gifts in the way God is calling them. They are passionate about the Kingdom being planted all over and seeing the church arise.

I see this school as being a next step in discovering more of the ministry God has started in me.

I am planning on attending the academy June 15th and will be there for six months. Please pray about supporting me in this next journey in prayer and financially. To support me click here. Just type in Tara Stephenson and any money given will go directly towards my personal G42 account.
