Here is a list of things to be praying for as our week goes on during the trip!

• We leave on Thursday the 20th so please pray for travel safety as we fly for about 8-10 hours
• safety as we drive after a LOOONG flight and not to mention the WRONG side of the road.
• carnival prep. we will start preping for this within hours of getting to Ireland, because it is the next day.
• that lots of people from the community would attend :)
• that God would open the ears and hearts of the people that attend church Sunday that they would listen to what Charlton has to say. and that we would teach would be able to teach the kiddos :D
• Monday and Tuseday are tourism days. Pray for travel safety for where we may end up and that wouldnt run into a wall looking at geese LOL(it almost happened last year ;])
• Wednesday is our marrige/family conference and we pray that LOTS of people from the community come to it.
• Thursday is the 3D night with the local college students. We are watching the Adjustment Bureau, so we pray for a great thought provoking discussion!
• Friday is our 2nd annual Family Retreat for Galway City Baptist Church and we pray that everything goes well. The theme is "Loving One Another" and Paws and Tales for the kids. This is ALWAYS so much fun! We get a lot of time to build relationships with the people and I LOVE IT!!!
• And then safety as we travel back. Last year we were in a car wreak as we were driving to the airport. so PLEASE pray for safety

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRAYING!!!!

Progress update and things to be praying for...

We had another meeting last for planning and we got a little more detailed schedule from our team leader, Tom who is also our Missions Pastor :) Things you can be praying for will be in BOLD print :)

The Saturday or Sunday after we get there, we will be holding a Fall Festival type night for the community, since we will be there right around Halloween. We are hoping to get bounce houses, games, candy and everything else you see at a Fall Festival. Pray that God will give us the energy to keep going after a 10 hour flight. And that we would correctly promote God and Galway City Church.

We are doing the church service for Galway City Church this year, since we were not able to that last year. We are doing the worship service, sermon and childcare so that all the adults can come to the service.


We are also doing three days of community outreach, starting Tuesday(25th) with a conference for Galway City Church on parenting and marriage. Wednesday will be our 3D night. Dinner, DVD and Discussion. This is for their University students, so I am very excited about this, because I will meet people around my age. Friday will be another conference, but I'm not sure what the topics will be for that one and this conference is for the community. Please pray for the discussion time we have at the 3D night and the rest of conferences.

We will end our trip with my personal favorite from last year, the Family Retreat. This retreat is for the families of Galway City Church. This is 4 days and 24 hours with these parents and their children, many of which I can NOT wait to see again. Our theme last year was God's Love for us. This years theme is Loving One Another. I am so excited I cannot contain myself at times! This is such a great opportunity to minister to these families and get to know them. Please for the families and that God would provide the money for them to attend this retreat.

Also be praying for Jason Post as he flys back to Ireland tomorrow. For the leadership team there that they would be able accomplish what is need for our trip and the church, that God would bring more people there.

Dear Family, Friends and fellow bloggers,

"The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed"

~Hudson Taylor (missionary in China for 51 years)

Matthew 28:19 says "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Last October I had the wonderful opportunity to go on a mission trip with my church Stonebriar Community Church to Galway, Ireland (west coast). I had so much fun and met so many wonderful people. I know who to live with some day ;). We held a family retreat centered on Gods love and Vacation Bible School centered on the Full Armor of God, for Galway City Baptist Church. We also went to the Cliffs of Moher and Trim Castle (Bravehearts Castle). This year we are staying three extra days!! We are holding a fall festival since Halloween will be right around the corner,  a conference for Galway City Baptist Church and other local pastors. We will then end the trip with our family retreat at the Irish manor we stayed at last year. I cannot wait to go back and see everyone!
