People Who Are Available To You In Your Journey:

Parent Ministry – General questions, info about official Adventures policies, parent events and opportunities, major concerns

  • Betty Means –  Head of Parent Ministry

Emergency Number:  

Call the regular Adventures in Missions number (770-983-1060).  The emergency line will be available to you through the receptionist or through an option on the voicemail menu.  The emergency line is monitored 24/7.  This is for true emergencies only (e.g., a death in the family) – not to see if Racers have arrived at a location, to find out why you haven’t heard from them, etc.

Starting Point:  

Explore the Parent Resource Site and download the Parents Guide.  It will answer a lot of your basic questions.  https://sites.google.com/adventures.org/parentministry/ 

Staying Connected To Other Parents And Your Racer:

  • Parent Facebook Group – This is the primary way we communicate with you, connect with you and encourage you.  Because it is a closed group, you will need to go to the group page and request to join. Search in FB for (launch month, Year) WR parents.  (e.g., January 2021 WR Parents)

  • To see the makeup of the various teams/squads once they are announced – http://www.worldrace.org/?tab=participants – (Or:  Go to worldrace.org, then click on Racers, then Find a Racer, Find a Squad.  Scroll down to find your Squad).

  • Subscribe to your Racer’s blog and the blogs of their teammates – On your Racer’s blog, along the left side (when viewed on a laptop or computer), you’ll see their teammates.  By clicking the link under their picture you will get to their blog and can subscribe there.

  • To see the most recent blogs from an entire squad or team – Last 100 blogs by squad:  http://www.worldrace.org/?tab=participants and last 100 blogs by team:  http://www.worldrace.org/?tab=blogs&pteamname=list (or, from the WR website, click on Blogs tab and choose what you’re looking for).

  • World Race Parent Announcement blog – This will be used to communicate information of a more general nature or that might need to be found again after it is posted.  You will be subscribed to this as it gets close to Launch.
