We're Back from the Emerald Isle






We just got back from our trip to Ireland. It was wonderful!!!! It is amazing to see how God is working mightily in Ireland!!!! God has been dealing greatly in our lives regarding Ireland. We stayed at the newly purchased location, Lacken House. Our entire family went this time.

While there, we got to meet other people from all over the world that God is calling to partner in some way with OM (Operation Mobilisation) Ireland. To see the pieces of the puzzle come together is much what I imagine what it will be like in heaven when we get to see the "bigger picture". We would love to talk to you about all this in person as there is not enough time or space to record all that God is doing.

Some highlights of the trip: (Ludie probably has a much different highlight list, as we had a lot of different experiences based on our schedules).My favorite part of the trip was having breakfast with an older gentleman named Bill. He was born and raised in Ireland and I got to just listen to his story everymorning and learn about his Irish heritage and how he came to know the Lord. While there I also met two other homeschool moms that were American and had children around Griffin's age (only God could do that!). We toured a nearby city that is growing tremendously and offers great potential for work and God is really opening doors here. We met with several pastors of different churches that are working together to share the love that comes from Christ alone. Ludie met with political figures that God is working in their lives as an answer to prayers. Having a family day in town together (Ludie did a great job driving on the left side of the road-we make a good team in navigation as there are no road names-at least not posted, and lots of sheep pastures!). Last but not least, taking the kids to a playground and low and behold there is a castle from the 1400's behind it!

God answered our prayers in so many ways and beyond. He has given a vision for involvement in Ireland. If you are interested in more details about our trip we would love to talk to you. Just contact us.

With much love and Praise to our Father God in Heaven,
