I think it was Spring of 2009 the last time I worked with Rachel. She was a member of NC State's women's soccer team and she was transferring to Cincinnati. She asked if she could still train in the weight room and if I would be willing to help her. I remember she was tough and that she worked really hard. She didn't shy away from anything. We kept in touch sparingly after she left because we shared the same passion for strength and conditioning. Recently she had been posting Bible verses and things about God on her facebook account, which I found encouraging. Last week I received a mass email from Rachel notifying everyone that she would be joining a mission trip called the World Race. She has a blog and when I read it I knew that she was changed. It was so exciting to read and hear how on fire for God she is and how much she is ready to go out and love on people. I am attaching her blog and her World Race page below. I hope you will consider donating some money to her, even if it is $5. I have raised money like that before and every little bit really does matter. No amount is too small. But if you don't feel called to give, I hope at the very least you will pray for her and her teammates and they go out to spread and glorify the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in 11 different countries.
