I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville studying Graphic Design with a minor in Theatre. I have always had a heart for overseas missions and an interest in Great Britain and Ireland. This past summer I had to make the choice between going to Haiti on a missions trip with my church in Knoxville or come home to help with D-Now over my Spring Break. After much prayer, seeking of council and consideration, I chose to come home. I was delighted when the youth pastor told me that the speaker was going to be a man from Northern Ireland. When D-Now finally came along I was pleasantly surprised to find that I learned more this weekend than any other church event or camp I've been to, and that's saying something. Also, the speaker presented us with the opportunity to come help him and his coworkers for 1, 2 or 3 weeks. After prayer and council and consideration, I've decided that God is calling me to go for 3 weeks in July.
So, now the reason for this blog is to post about my spiritual journey leading up to and through my physical journey to Northern Ireland. The trip will cost about $2000 (plane ticket and expenses once there) and will take place in July. I will be working as a leader in the camps that run from Saturday to Saturday. I am very excited about this opportunity and I hope that you will join me in prayer as I start to raise support and prepare to go.
