Go and Make disciples in Ireland

Ok so if anyone cared to read my extremely long messy but raw last post, at the end I put a link on how to support me financially for my missions to Ireland, and I wanted to give anyone interested my official support letter.  I want to post this so that you know more about how you will be helping God move through me and in Ireland.  As much money would help me get to Ireland, pray and an actually support team praying for my needs and of the needs of the World Harvest team will help us live for Christ in Ireland not just survive the trip.  

Hey!

I am truly blessed to have an amazing opportunity to spread God’s love to Ireland this summer, with World Harvest Mission (WHM), and I am excited to invite you into the experience as well, not just financial either.  Yes, I need to raise money.  I need to raise $5,371 to be exact, by May 15^th, and I will mention where and how to support me financially at the end of the letter.  I do not want the money thing to be a stigma, in fact I am not too concerned about it; maybe it is my confidence that God will provide, or maybe it is my naïve youthful spirit, to be honest it’s most likely some combination of the two.  Either way I do not feel money is going to be an issue.  Which is in itself a small miracle, just last year that whole money topic would be so hard to mention, thinking it was in some way humiliating and that I was begging for money for nothing.  God has really worked in my heart to see that fundraising is an opportunity for others to be the blessed vessel in which God works, and I hope that is precisely how you feel about the prospect of partnering with me as I go to Ireland in the name of Christ. 

So what exactly is this great thing that you have a chance to be a part of? Well, I will be going to Ireland from June 5^th to August 5^th, while there my full time occupation will be to care and nurture an environment for the Holy Spirit of God to work and grow in.  I will be able to devote all my time to this because your contribution will cover housing, airfare, even food, and I will be able to stay strong in the spirit and endure in part because of your prayers.  I ask that you would pray for my boldness instead of my protection, and for my comfort zone to be stretched instead of a comfortable and easy time.  I had to evaluate how I wanted you to pray for me and submit it to what would bring God the most glory.  So please pray that I stay strong and never lose heart telling others about our majestic forgiver.   

In order to effectively minister in Ireland we will be partnering with Irish college students and young adults who care about the spiritual health of their homeland.  This will be a cross-cultural journey that I truly believe will allow me to see God in a context I never had before.  I plan to use however God WILL show up in guiding my next steps in life.  I am highly considering becoming a full time youth minister, urban minister, or missionary; however, I feel like I should not make that decision until after I experience what it is like to be Christian in another context.
