Pray for Ireland 2015!

Well, hello you! My sister let me use her blog because I wanted to share with you an amazing opportunity I have this summer.... I, along with about 15 others from The Summit Church in Green, are going to IRELAND!!!! We need your prayers like none other. Seriously. Details on what specifically you can pray for will be described below....

So.... what exactly will we be doing? The adults and teens in our group will be running a camp. For four days, we will have a packed schedule of activities: games, crafts, food, and most importantly we will be sharing the Gospel. We're working with missionaries Bob and Marilyn Hutton and Josh and Denise Steward. It will be exhausting for sure but everyone on our team is so excited!!

Here are some specific things you can pray for:

- Ask God to open the hearts of the kids we'll get to know at the camp. We want to build relationships and share what God has done in our lives. Like the US, Ireland is a First-World country, so many people there don't feel a need for The Gospel because they have "enough."

-Pray that when we interact with the kids, we will have just the right words to say. If we feel called to share our testimonies, ask that God would provide opportunities. Pray that we can make connections!!

-Pray for our pastor, Tom Hogsed, who will be preaching the Gospel, that God would guide his words.

-Pray for safe travels for our team.

-Ask God to bless the Huttons, the Stewards, and their ministry over there. Missionaries get discouraged just like the rest of us and I'm sure they could use some encouragement :)

-Pray for finances!! It goes without saying that this trip will be expensive! Pray that God will provide the funds we all so desperately need :) I'm sending out support letters this week, so if you feel called to help us financially, just send me a message with your address :)

We will be gone for a week in July! If you would like to pray for our team members specifically, here is everyone:

Tom Hogsed (Pastor/leader)
Darrel and Cindy Cleary (leaders)

Mark and Melissa Seibert
Kerri Bounds
Joey Bounds
Xiomara Valentin
