GAINESVILLE, Ga., May 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- Adventures In Missions (AIM), an interdenominational missions organization, is sending someone on an adventure of a lifetime--a trip around the world. The trip, valued at over $14,000, is a part of The World Race.
The World Race is a Christian mission trip that travels to 11 countries in 11 months. Participants live out of a backpack, survive on a limited budget and find themselves in situations where faith is the only reality to choose from.
In partnering with existing missionaries and ministries, World Racers develop relationships with locals in developing countries, and through acts of service see communities and nations transformed all over the world.
The winner will be departing in October 2010 and will travel to 11 different countries, which include Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Thailand, China, India, South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique.
To be eligible, individuals are asked to submit either a written or video blog sharing their story and why they should go on the World Race. Written blogs must be 500 words or less, and video blogs must be 120 seconds or less.
Top contestants' stories will be shared on the World Race Facebook page (facebook.com/theworldrace), and the finalists will be selected through peer voting via Facebook.
A panel of AIM staff will select the winner from among the finalists based on strength of message, content and creativity.
For more information on the application process, as well as terms and conditions, visit theworldrace.org/giveaway.
