Starting the New Year

After our big trip to the U.S. this past Autumn, then returning to the typical Christmas madness and a home full of chaos and boxes...we decided to start the New Year by resting. I can think of no greater way to declare our priorities for the coming year than by taking some much-needed family time. 

Although we have all been passing around a bit of sickness, we have enjoyed the time to think, pray, and enjoy each other's company. Eden is back on a stable routine, which helps battle sickness (and bad behaviour). 

In the coming weeks we will be posting more about our vision and goals for the year. But for now, we will build a foundation of rest, prayer, and trust in the what the Lord will be bringing.

We thank you for your prayers and support coming in to 2016. We would also like to pray for you and your upcoming year. Feel free to comment or email us with your prayer requests. We are all on this team together and, above all things, must be unified in prayer.

God bless you and your family in the coming year.

5 in 2015

Here are 5 things that happened in 2015. Its a year-in-review if you will...

1. Portia's Alpha group at IT Carlow became a recognized student group on campus. Katy connects with Portia every week, helping her reach students on her campus.
2. We feel that we have clarified vision and direction for 2016 regarding Students for Christ Dublin. While we are still very much in the early stages, we are excited to walk through open doors and see God-given momentum begin to build.
3. In July 2015 we had a miscarriage. We had never been through that kind of loss in our lives. It was incredibly difficult, but God held us every step of the way.
4. We recently completed a successful support raising trip to the U.S. We are able to do what we do through generous giving and prayers of individuals, churches, and businesses in the U.S. God provided, as He always does, and we were able to raise the funds needed to continue ministry for the next few years.
5. We are happy to announce that we are pregnant again! We were a little anxious at first given our recent miscarriage, but this baby is looking perfectly healthy and we can't wait to meet our new child in June 2016.

Thank you all for your consistency, not only financially, but in your prayers. Prayers pave the way for the road God leads us down. Your financial givings allows us to take advantage of opportunities that come our way on this journey.

Together we are making a difference in Ireland. We can't wait to see what God will bring in 2016!

And Baby Makes Four

We are pleased to announce the upcoming arrival of the newest Edgmon family member! God has blessed us with this new little life and has continued healing our hearts from all that had gone on with the last pregnancy. 

We had our first visit with the doctor as well as an ultrasound, revealing a healthy (and feisty) 14-week little bean. The baby bump is steadily growing and Katy is coming out of the period of almost constant nausea. We have adjusted to the time difference and are slowly getting ourselves back to normal. Thanks to everybody for your prayers and encouragement as we've made the transition back to Ireland life. 

For now, here is a video that you have probably seen. It perfectly encapsulates the feelings of a pregnancy the second time around!
