.The DNA of Jesus.


Posted in Georgia by Kara Frate on 8/22/2010


The Lord has been speaking to me lately about what it looks like to be His follower......

I could try to go into depth and explain everything that He has been speaking to me... But, I haven't fully processed it and if I started typing now, you would be scrolling down the page for awhile.

I will just leave you with this question.....

Besides seeing a need for Jesus in your life and in this World, and besides knowing that there is a bigger purpose to your life.......  As a believer, "What makes you different from unbelievers?"

Is it your actions?

Is it what you choose to do with your free time?

Is it how you treat people?

Do you think that once we "know" these things we can stop searching?

 

  "Knowing" that there is a promised land doesn't get us there, "Doing" what you know is what gets you there....

   

           We aren't called to be a "good" person, there are plenty of "good" people out there.... We are called to live a life worthy of Him who called us.... Jesus sets a pretty high standard.  Are you being good stewards of your life?

 

 

    We can love Jesus all we want; But, when are we going to start being the Jesus that we have inside of us? - WE ARE HIS DNA.

.Kingdom Video.


Posted in .AMBASSADORS.DR. by Kara Frate on 8/14/2010


Working for The World Race is exciting because I get to invest in a ministry and in people that are truly "being" The Kingdom, I get to encourage people in finding their destiny and  I come alive when I start telling people about the power of God...... I love what I do.
 
I know what goes on in the world; because I have seen it.  I know that there are very dark places out there and I could spend all day expressing to you the importance of bringing The Kingdom to those places.  I even have a heart for those people and places.  But, I admit that it is easy to sit behind a desk and let those images that you've seen, fade from your mind...... 
 
I love to go through old World Race videos because it always puts the images back in my head and it continues to remind me of why I do what I do..... 

I summed up my year in a video for my church in December, I came across that video again today and I just wanted to share it with you....  This ladies and gents, is why I have devoted my life to help bring God's Kingdom to the earth....

This Saturday starts our training camp for our September and October World Race squads.  There will be approximately 152 racers at camp and we are really excited to see what God does! Please be praying for The World Race staff as we prepare for camp, but also be praying for open hearts and minds from the participants. I am confident God will show up in His power and these racers will go home changed. I will update you asap.

.EXPECTING GOD.


Posted in .AMBASSADORS.DR. by Kara Frate on 7/16/2010


    As you all should know, I just returned home from leading a 2 week trip to The Dominican Republic.  Our team consisted of 5 girls, plus myself and David Matthew, my co-leader. 
 
    This was my first trip to ever lead and so going into it, I really had no idea what it was going to look like.  I went through all of the procedures that have been drilled into me about laying down my expectations and I was giving room for God to move.
 
   
 
But, then I remembered the promises that God made to me when I said "yes" to Him to lead this group of girls......
- He told me to expect my leadership attributes to come forth...
- He told me to expect my passions to rise up in new way....
- He told me to expect to be changed....
- He told me to expect the be faced with challenges....
- He told me to expect Him to speak to me in a bigger way....
- He told me to expect to build new life long relationships ordained by Him....
 
Basically, He told me to expect Him to show up and to prove faithful.  The only thing that I have to say about this trip is that once again, He did prove faithful.. He did not make one promise He did not fulfill and I walked away from this trip with another glimpse of my destiny.
 
It is good for us to lay down our own expectations that we place on things..  But, in all honesty, we need to have expectations.  Expectations on God... If God promises you something, then EXPECT IT.  If God promises you something, don't just lay it down and "hope" that maybe He will come through....
Instead, walk around looking for those expectations to be met and just waiting in expectation to give God the glory.  
 


                 WHEN GOD GIVES YOU EXPECTATIONS.... IT'S OK TO EXPECT THEM

.Day one Ambassador training.


Posted in .AMBASSADORS.DR. by Kara Frate on 6/17/2010


We completed our first full day of training camp today!  We have been doing team builders outside and having indoor sessions with the Ambassador staff all day.   The Georgia sun is VERY hot, but we still had fun outdoors today ; )  We are applying sunblock and staying very hydrated.

David Matthew and I absolutely love our team of 5 girls and we are absolutely excited about what God is going to do through and in us in The Dominican Republic.  I have a really great feeling about this trip!  Our team seems to be getting along great and we are all ready to minister together.  We are to attend breakfast every morning at 7 am and we do not stop until 10 pm every night.... Obviously, good things take long hours. 


We just wanted to update the blog with a little bit of information just to keep all of our blog readers informed.  The girls say Hello and they love you, to all of their friends and family!

I am personally overwhelmed that God love's me so much to trust me with 5 of His amazing daughters.  So rest assured that your girls are being taken care of : ) 

With all of that said; Georgia is great... But, we are all SO ready to be in The Dominican Republic already..Where the sun is even hotter...

Keep a look out for more blogs.  We will be updating you on our week and our ministry when it begins!   Thanks!

.writing history.


Posted in Georgia by Kara Frate on 6/1/2010



I will be traveling to Texas this Friday and I will be there until June 12th. I start my Ambassador training on June 13th and I will be leading a trip to The Dominican Republic until July 11th. By the time I get back to Georgia, my apprenticeship will almost be over and I will be making the decision to go on staff.

All of this change has got me thinking.. You would think that it would only be overwhelming and to be honest, it is. Its overwhelming to think that God may be calling me into a "support raised" life. Support raising is not my favorite topic. Lets be honest, it gets in the way of our pride, our fear of rejection, our independence, and everything else that human nature comes along with....

But.... that's where I have to learn to get past my human nature... and tap into my DNA.

Because, this lifestyle is also overwhelming in a good way... Its overwhelming that God has chosen me to take part in something bigger than myself, something bigger than human nature... Its overwhelming that God has transformed my life in the past 3 years and I had no control over it... He is inviting me and you... to take part in The KINGDOM.

The truth is; God does't need us... He WANTS us and He has given us an invitation to take part in writing history...

I don't like asking for money.. But, that comes along with the role I play in The Kingdom.. and because God totally transformed my life when I had no control over it; what makes me think He can't take control of my support raising? I just have to be obedient.

With that said; I know that all of our roles look different. So I am posting this knowing that some of you reading this play the role of supporting missionaries like me..... If that is you, then I ask you to consider commiting a certain amount of money to me each month by clicking the "support me" link on the lefthand side of this page (it will walk you through the steps).... No amount is too small. Please seek the Lord on this.

If that is not you; then I ask you to please pray for me through this process because we all play that role... Thank you so much in advance for all of your continued support! If you want to meet with me personally when I am in Texas, please contact me at 254-640-5043 or Karafrate@theworldrace.org. I would LOVE to sit and talk to you about what God is doing through this ministry.

..Dancing before the Thrown..


Posted in Georgia by Kara Frate on 5/25/2010


This week we have a World Race training camp going on and last night was probably the best worship service I have ever experienced.  The Holy Spirit showed up and it was amazing. Bondages were broken and people were set free.  I cannot put into words how thick His presence was in that room, but my feet do hurt from dancing....  

As my supporters.. This is what you are sowing into...

Here is a blog post by my amazing brother in Christ, Matt Snyder..
 
Posted in Worship by Matthew Snyder on 5/25/2010
"You are an endless ocean; a bottomless sea."
-- Jonathan David Helser

We all have eternity beating on the inside of us. Whether we acknowledge it or not, it's what keeps us moving. We think it's our brain telling our heart to pump blood through our system, our lungs to breathe in oxygen and provide the necessary flow of things into our body.

But really - it's eternity.

Last night was one of the most powerful nights of worship that I've ever experienced. I'm at the World Race training camp for the June and July 2010 squads. Jonathan David Helser and his band came in the last few days and led us in lifting our voices to the King of Kings.

I wish that I could put it into words... but it's hard to. I just know that I danced my chains off, so much so that my legs are sore today. I know that I sang with such ferocity that I have no voice left. My ears are still buzzing with the deafening cry of a generation of sons and daughters who had an encounter with the resurrected Savior.

Powerful.

You might be asking: what does that look like, Matthew? It looks like this:
 
 
 
                    
 
 
 
 

Call us crazy... but sometimes we need to dance like fools before the throne. -- You should check out Matt'sblog and read more entries. He is a great writer. http://matthewsnyder.theworldrace.org.
