Seven Days!

It's hard to believe we are only one week away from our departure to Northern Ireland! Excitement is building as last minute paperwork, fundraising, meetings, and more are taking place.

This blog will be maintained throughout our journey to keep everyone back home informed about our trip. We'll give updates, explain our ministry, and share stories from the day. Be sure to check back to see what we've been up to!

For now, continue to lift up our team in prayer. We have finals next week, and for many of us that means cramming our exams into three days to be ready to leave on Friday. And on top of being good students, we have the extra stress of packing and making all those final trip preparations. Pray also for those still in need of funds for the trip. The Lord is good and He will provide, but it's hard to always keep that in mind as time to raise money draws to a close. A final prayer request is that the Lord will keep working in the hearts of our team. Pray that He will fill us, prepare us, and equip us with all we need to be the best servants possible to the people of Northern Ireland.

We will keep your entire team in our prayers as you prepare to leave this week, finish your semester, and travel on Friday.

We're praying for you and your ministry to the Irish people. We pray your mission will be as successful as St. Patrick's.

Love,

I have been praying for the team every night at 9 pm.If anyone wants to pray at the same time or if we all want to take an hour around the clock let me know.I pray off and on throughout the day too but I believe it is even more powerful when a lot of people pray at the same time.Isn't this so exciting.I can't wait to see what God has in store for such a time as this.Ireland for Jesus!

We thank God for miraculous providing and paving the way for all of you to be there for such a time as this. Kawika led the congregation into a powerful time of prayer for you and the team at yesterday morning's service, dad prayed at last night's service and Hawaii led at early morning prayer time this morning.We are excited to hear more awesome and wonderful things God is continuing to do through all of you in Ireland.
Love, Mom
