Hey everybody! We’re excited to bring you some big announcements later this week! We’ll post an update here next Monday. But if you want to know sooner we’ll be announcing at the end of this week on social media. Stay connected with us on Instagram or Facebook (or both)!
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. We’re so excited to let you know what’s coming!
Today marks 8 years we’ve lived in Ireland!
It’s an odd St. Patrick’s Day. All parades and festivities have been cancelled. I can’t say we’re too upset with a quiet day at home as a family.
Here are a few updates for us and Ireland with all the craziness lately.
First, we’re all safe and healthy, and yes…we have plenty of toilet paper. I know that was your primary concern.
Ireland isn’t on a full lockdown, but most are working from home. Overall, it’s fairly calm. There’s a bit of panic shopping, but the shops are all handling things in stride and restocking daily.
Katy is working hard to continue developing Zoe Community training. We’ve had to postpone physical training for the time being and are working to utilize Google Classroom so we can keep moving forward with the amazing volunteers signed up. I (Blake) am working on getting videos for lectures and lessons to upload for training purposes.
All gatherings indoor gatherings over 100 people must cancel, as well as outdoor gatherings of over 500 people. Because of that, pretty much all church services and activities have cancelled.
I have had great opportunities helping a couple of churches taking their services online to accommodate their church families continue gathering (digitally).
We want to thank you for your prayers and support. Together we will walk through this time and come out stronger on the other side!
Sorry for the silence lately. We have been busy busy in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and soon Nashville. We are on a mini-tour raising money and seeing friends & family. We are able to be working in Ireland full-time thanks to over 100 churches, individuals, and companies who support us and pray for us as we pursue God’s call.
Please pray that we are able to raise all the money we need and make the most of our limited time with family. Thank you so much to all those who already pray and support us financially!
