Today I’m with my new friends Hudson and Emily. They have spent the last eight years traveling to every country in the world, a journey sparked by the passing of Hudson's father that inspired them to live with greater intentionality. Along the way, they've discovered the beauty in diversity and been touched by the kindness and hospitality they've encountered. Despite challenges and misunderstandings, their commitment to loving God and loving people has remained unwavering. They’ve captured their adventures on video and I hope they write a book about their experiences. With just 11 countries left, primarily in the Pacific islands, they are close to completing this beautiful ambition.
