Dear Family and Friends,
I have greatly enjoyed my time back in the States. The 8 1/2 months I lived in the Philippines were life changing, and gave me a different out look on life and somewhat a different career path. What did not change is my passion for Ireland and the church in Galway. God is doing some AMAZING things here. Some of their youth finished their first international (Lithuania) mission trip a few weeks ago, and they have some new missionary families in Galway and Sligo.
On September 29, I will fly with a team from my church to Shannon, Ireland where we will make the journey north along the west coast to Galway City. We will continue to build on the relationship we have with this amazing church. I cannot wait to worship our Savior along side these wonderful friends again, as well as attend the church retreat with them.
The team will also spend some time in Sligo, which is two hours north of Galway, to volunteer at a local Alzheimer center, and put on a charity golf tournament to support this center. We will walk around the Sligo town center, doing some surveys asking questions about the opinion of the catholic church and mass attendance. We did this two years ago and had some really good conversations. The end of our time in Ireland will be the 6th annual Galway City Church- Church Retreat! This is my favorite part of the trip, because I get to spend time with people who are practically family to me and also get to know new people and start building a friendship with them.
As always I need your help to go. I cannot convey to you the amount of prayer I need for this trip. All I can say is PLEASE be praying for me and the team I am going with, as well as the missionaries there and people, especially strangers, we will come into contact with. And because everything cost money, I will need $2,800 for the trip. This covers all my needs while there. If you would like to send me a note saying that you are praying for me, just send me an email at beautifulsoul.photos@gmail.com and if you would like to support me financially you can mail a check made out STONEBRIAR COMMUNITY CHURCH with my PC#5702 in the memo line. You can also give online at the website below. Be sure to let me know if you give online, they only post twice a month, so I want to let them know to be looking for your gift. These are both tax deductible ways of being apart of the trip.
I am floored that once again God would choose to use me in Galway. I always think that surely there is someone better equipped to be on the team, and God still uses me. God can use you as well and I hope that even if its praying me, that you would choose to let God use you on this journey.
