A New Year...

Last night it was Beth and I and good friends Keith and Jen King enjoying our annual New Year's Eve junk food buffet. We were joined for a while by Molly and her boyfriend William.

We all watched a blockbuster that I gave Molly for Christmas. It doesn't get any better than "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". A couple of my favorite lines:

Voldar (the bad martian): "All this trouble for a little fat man in a red suit."

and

Santa: "Oh, feedle-ee-dee and balderdash Billy boy."



So looking ahead...

I don't do resolutions. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.

Instead, I have been really imagining what I would like to see happen in 2008. For one thing -- I don't want to spend next Christmas and New Year's in the U.S. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to get to Ireland by then.

And I know that with God all things are possible.

So, God willing, we will be moved in 2008. BUT -- we have a huge hill to climb to reach our goal of monthly donations needed to make that happen.

We are feeling such a need to get to Ireland to conduct our ministry full-time. You see, we firmly believe that revival is coming to Ireland. Revival the likes of which hasn't been seen since the days of St. Patrick. One of the greatest needs right now in the Irish church is the training of leadership that needs to be in place when significant growth begins to happen and our ministry is all about that.

On our last trip to Ireland we had a national church leader tell us, "You don't know how important your ministry is" regarding this preparation. Needless to say, we are ready to be there doing our part in preparing for the coming revival.

Do you want to help us get there? Click here and you can find out how to make a donation or join us as a monthly Ministry Partner ("How can I be a part...?").

I don't generally use this forum to solicit support, but I just felt that I should on this occasion.

God is doing great things this year. Hang on for an exciting ride!

Please pray about supporting us. Then, no matter how God leads you, please keep praying for us, for Ireland and for its church leaders and missionaries.
