February/March News

The time has finally come…

WE ARE IN IRELAND!

Thanks to your generous response to our last letter and some amazing answers to prayer, we’ve been released to start our ministry in Ireland. Mid-February we bought our tickets to Ireland, and by the end of the month we moved from our house in Duluth to visit family in southern Minnesota. In a whirlwind of packing, selling, and saying goodbyes we boarded a plane on March 10th, moving to Galway Ireland for at least the year.

The coming weeks will be filled with adjusting to the culture, finding a place to live, buying a car, and just basically getting to know our surroundings. We will be introduced to the youth of Galway Christian Fellowship, the church Kevin will be doing part time youth ministry with. Also, we’re meeting with the steering committee that guides our activity with Youth For Christ to start planning how to set up the office. The resources offerd by this office will be how we begin partnering with area churches to effectively mentor and reach the youth of the Galway area for Christ.

Thank you for all of your prayers and faithful gifts of finances and time. Serving the youth and churches in Galway, Ireland is possible through your commitment and support. You are a blessing and we are grateful for you!

Please Pray
*For our adjustment, especially for our girls. It’s been hard to leave family and friends.
*God’s timing not our timing in ministry.
*Continued faithful monthly support to sustain us through the year and, God willing, longer.
*That the youth of Galway would desire God and passionately seek Him.
