One Month to Go!

In just one short month I will be touching down in Dublin to begin working with kids and their families to share the love of Christ! I thought I would share a quick update on some of the details of the trip and how God is pulling everything together.

• God is faithfully working through His people to raise up the support needed for this trip to be successful. $2500 is the amount necessary to cover the costs of the trip. So far 44% of this amount has been received - praise God & thank you to those of you have contributed already!
• Todd James, the missionary I will be working with, is graciously allowing me to spend the first week at his house. Not only will this help keep the cost of lodging down, but it will provide an opportunity for me to spend some quality time with Todd and get a real feel for the work he is doing and a sense for the mission field in Ireland.
• I am ordering 1000 silicone wristbands (similar to the "Livestrong" bracelets we've all seen) to take for the kids. They will read "J.A.M - Phil 4:13". J.A.M. is the name of the basketball camps that we will be running and stands for "Jesus And Me". I am also looking for some cheap, used basketball trading cards that I could take to hand out to the kids.

I continue to be humbled and thankful for the work God is doing and for the strong church family that he has surrounded me with. Just 30 days to go!!
