oh what a family.




God longs for the people of Ireland. He wants to be known truly & fully for who He is-not as a dividing, angry God, but a loving God who's kingdom is a family.


I am beyond blessed to be able to go into this land, so rich in revival history, & simply blow on those buried embers & declare who I know God to be. What I believe is going to have the biggest impact is the family God is sending me with. The twelve of us are all different ages & nationalities, but we are a family & nothing less. If we step into Ireland humbly, walking out the love of God for one another & everyone we meet, who knows what will happen, because this was God's original intention: family.


We've been studying 1 Corinthians 13 together & have learned that love is simply letting go of all "self" & being intentional about everyone else. This is what family looks like. This is what we're trying our best to do. Of course we make mistakes, but we've all agreed to carry an unoffendable heart, full of grace. We just want Ireland to know that Jesus is Lord by our love!


And so, without further adieu, here's the family....






Michael Craig from Scotland.











Jaimie Strickland from California.









Daniel York from Colorado

&

Anna Seistrup from Oregon.









Cassidy Green from Texas.










Vanessa Vawer from Oahu.









Juan-Erik Gabrielson from Norway.
[he's also half Spanish, hence the "Juan"]









Riley Bond from Colorado

&

Carlee Angell from Colorado.






Katelyn Leavitt from Alaska.








Martin Frazer from Australia.






Good Lord, I am so thankful for these people!

Please pray about helping us get to Ireland! We still need heaps of finances (I need another $1,035 to leave & then another $1,000, about, to stay). Just use the "donate" button to donate.
