One of the unique parts of missionary life is that our hearts are never fully in one place.
As this is posted, we're spending time in Oklahoma with family, friends, and many of the churches and people who have faithfully supported us over the years. Every visit reminds us how loved and encouraged we are. It's a gift we'll never take for granted.
At the same time, Ireland still feels like home.
After nearly fourteen years, we've built deep friendships, watched churches grow, celebrated answered prayers, and walked alongside women and families through some of life's most difficult moments. Our hearts are deeply connected to the people God has called us to serve.
Living between two homes isn't always easy. Goodbyes never get easier, whether we're leaving Ireland or leaving the U.S. But we've come to see that as part of the privilege of this calling. God has given us people to love on both sides of the Atlantic.
Thank you for making that possible.
Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity have allowed us to say "yes" to God's call for all these years. As we spend these weeks reconnecting with many of you, we're reminded again that this ministry has never been ours alone. It belongs to a much bigger family of people who have chosen to serve Ireland alongside us.
We're grateful to be on this journey together.
