Evan Dias didn’t fit the definition of “missionary.”

In fact, he was smoking pot in his room when he heard of the World Race.

When a friend told him she was going on an 11 month mission trip around the world, Evan went to the website and saw a video eerily close to his own life: a guy at a party who desperately wants something more. In that moment, he heard God say:

“You can come back to me. You can change your life. You need to go. And you need to go do this. This is what I have for you.”

He knew it didn’t make sense. But he also knew he’d heard the voice of the Lord.

So he went. This is his story.

For this son of mine was dead and is alive again. -Luke 15:24
