Exciting News!
Posted by: David Bunch
The Itinerary
This week my family and I are very busy packing for our trip to Ireland! Hurray! I can't believe it got here so fast. We leave Thursday to stay through the Thanksgiving holidays, returning the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Can I tell ya, we are so excited!
The Mission
Why are we going, you ask? Well, its a long story and part of a bigger plan. We believe God is calling us to do missions work in Ireland, and while we are waiting for our AIM applications to be approved, we are visiting the country to meet missionary Matt and Sharon McFarland and get a feel for the work that is being done in the Emerald Isle. As soon as we return we will begin the process of raising our AIM budget, and God willing we plan to return as soon as we can to begin working in the missions field. Check out IrelandUPC for a lot of information on the work that Rev. Terry McFarland has pioneered and continues to do in Ireland.
The Pledge
I have every intent of blogging live from Ireland. I know we are going to be busy traveling, preaching, and working (with lots of fun built in there too), but if the internet connections over there will cooperate, I sincerely hope to check in from time to time.
I've already placed my request for a tour of C.S. Lewis' birthplace in Belfast! I'll let you know how it goes.
Till then, Godspeed everyone!
