Maureen has known she would be back to that part of the world since touring there in her early teenage years.
Kevin's heart broke for the European youth while he was involved in both long and short term missions work in England.
We both went through many trials from depression and bullying to divorce and low self-esteem during the formative years of adolescence. Faith in Jesus Christ is what made a difference in how we lived out our lives during those times and what we have become today.
Our heart is for reaching a youth culture that is searching to fill the void within themselves with anything tangible. We want to show how real
Jesus is through living our lives and loving the youth of Ireland. Knowing that many of the struggles we went through in our adolescent years are still plaguing today's young adults has let us to absolutely love them.
We will be working with Youth for Christ Ireland to plant and office/resource center in or near the city of Galway on the western Irish coast. Our passion is to assist local church and youth leaders to reach the community of young adults in Galway for Christ. we will be doing this through facilitating the training of nationals on how to run outreach and discipleship programs targeting 12 to 18 year olds.
