The Vision:


What is our goal for this trip? To change and to be changed. We will go out as lasers on our mission and spread the light Christ has given us there. We will be filled with His light and be changed as God works and speaks through us!

Let’s be sensitive to what God wants us to say and do. Maybe it is just to smile at someone, having patience with a child we are working with that isn’t cooperating, praying for the others on our team when they are feeling down or discouraged. 

What does the Lord have for us to accomplish? How are we going to accomplish it? What are your goals for this trip? Let’s come back to America as 12 changed people, but not stop there. The same pain and hopelessness we will see in Ireland is right here in our own towns. As we go back to normal, everyday life, we can keep sharing what we have learned, and how we have changed with others. I want to see God work in mighty ways, to see miracles! God has power and He wants change, all He is lacking is laborers.

My dad and I have been praying for each of the team members and pouring our hearts out in prayer for the locals in Ireland. Please join us in prayer. God has amazing things for you to accomplish! Let’s make Him the center of our trip!

Whether you are going on the trip yourself, or know someone who is, you have the ability to make a change in our world through prayer! God is powerful!

July 12th



This video explains the strife in Northern Ireland. It was recorded in 2013. Though it shows many different areas of Northern Ireland, including Derry, the march it covers happens in Belfast.




In 2014 there was much more peace on July 12th, just a year after the previous video was recorded. The Lord has already worked on so many hearts! This is very obvious from the peaceful reports of last year's parade. You can read about the 2014 marching season HERE. Let's be praying that God opens hearts and heals hurts this year!
