Glenalyn Hunt – World Race
Glenalyn Hunt, who grew up in the Centerpointe family, is spending 2010 on an 11-month, 11-country mission trip that will take her to four continents. She left Jan. 3 for New Zealand. Her itinerary includes time serving in Australia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ukraine, Georgia and another Eastern European country. In each country, her team of seven missionaries will work with local partners of Adventures in Missions on various projects. These can range from construction to working with orphans to helping in schools. Each person will live on about $10 per day. Glenalyn took a full backpacking outfit and was excited to be using her tent on the first night in New Zealand. Follow her trip at: http://glenalynhunt.theworldrace.org/
