Hey y’all! My name is Caroline Ball and I am from North Augusta, South Carolina. I have always had a heart for helping others and seeing others come to Christ. My parents raised my brothers and I in a strong Christian household that prioritized the Lord, and for that I will be forever grateful. I knew missions would be a part of my story as soon as I returned home from my first mission trip: a week in Nicaragua when I was 18. This trip lit a fire in my heart and the Lord’s conviction was strong. I have been itching to be overseas long-term ever since then. Pursuing the World Race is scary, but the Lord is faithful and good. I am thrilled to be embarking on this journey with likeminded Christians and to grow closer to God by placing everything I have in His hands.
