This is my first go at the whole blogging thing - but I wanted to provide a forum to document and share what God is doing in my family's life - so this is it!
Over the last several months I have felt a calling to share the Good News of Jesus Christ by using the universal language of sports. This summer, God has provided the opportunity for me to live this out as I travel to Ireland to work alongside a church-planting missionary there.
Todd James and his family have lived in Ireland for over 20 years and have started a church in Dublin. Todd has discovered that an effective outreach is running basketball camps for young people in the summer. You can check out the missionary organization that Todd works with at www.friendsmission.com. I will be coming along-side Todd to assist with coaching these camps and sharing the message of love, hope, and salvation with the kids who attend them.
There are still several details to be worked out, but I am so excited to have this chance to see God's plan and provision in action!
I plan on posting updates regularly - up to and through my assignment that begins July 12th and ends July 26th.
Thank you for checking out the blog and for your interest in our lives. God Bless!

Dax,
ReplyDeleteWe are excited that you have taken the leap into blogging. It remindes me of the Levites carrying the Ark of the Coevnant and having to step into the Jordan river to part the waters, allowing God's chosen people access to the Pormised Land. It is also amazing how the Lord is providing the opportunity for you to study and grow in systematic theology, as well as your willingness to grap the horse by the reins and go for the race ahead.
We are excitedly anticipating what the Lord will do next to meet the needs to allow you and your family to minister to the Irish.

Dax,
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you and the family as God provides for this mission. Where would we all be without Missions? There is nothing more important. Thanks for being an example and stepping out on faith.
