December is a busy month for everyone with Christmas right around the corner, travel plans, and end of the year to-dos. Here at Cross Ireland Ministries, we're also planning a busy month. Dermot is going on another trip to Ireland tomorrow. This time he'll be taking an architect, Daniel Cook, who owns a company called Building God's Way which specializes in building contemporary style church buildings. They will be looking at locations and property that will work for the church we will be starting next year. Ireland is currently experiencing severe winter conditions, so please pray that Dermot and Dan have a safe trip there and back. We would also appreciate your prayers for their efforts next week. Not only do we need to find a great property at a good price, but in order for it to be in the right location to affect people, they will need God's guidance and insight.
Now that Cross Ireland Ministries has its non profit status and we have a general timeline, we will be starting our fundraising campaign in the spring. We need your prayers that we can share the vision God has given us for Ireland in a way that invites others to partner with us.
Finally, you might have read or heard about the financial and political troubles that Ireland is having right now. The country is experiencing sovereign bankruptcy, and no one trusts that their government is making the right decisions. People are angry and desperate. This is a difficult time for the people of Ireland as they struggle to maintain their lives in the midst of uncertainty and depression. To most people, it might seem the wrong time for us to head out to start a new life and new venture. In fact, it is exactly the right time. When everything else fails, God prevails. When no one has the answers, God presents His. We know that the only thing to bring hope and change is for people to give their lives to Him.
