Prep for our women’s conference, “She Is…”, is well underway! In the pic above is our amazing team looking after marketing/messaging strategy (as well as many other things). We have multiple teams doing multiple things. It’s amazing to see so many people come together to see this conference come to life.
Soon we will be introducing you to our conference speakers, team members, and overall theme. We can’t wait!
Thank you for all you do. Together we’re seeing God do amazing things in Ireland!
Something that isn’t quite common in the states that Katy and I have learned to do here in Ireland is to take a prayer retreat. Every year varies, but we try to go at least once each by ourselves to a little cabin in Glendalough, Ireland at the Glendalough Hermitage Centre.
I just returned from my two-night getaway and am feeling so reenergized. Each time my focus and plan is different depending on what’s happening in our lives at the moment. This is where I came to process the loss of our child in miscarriage back in 2015. This is where I’ve retreated when feeling weary, broken, or unsure. This is where I’ve found inspiration when I needed to create. This place has been so crucial to Katy and I as individuals, and we even used the place together once on a little couples retreat.
I’m thankful for opportunities to step away, refocus, revive my spirit, and prepare for what’s ahead. I’m back in the office now excited for the many wonderful things to come. I encourage you, find time to step away. Whether it’s an hour, a day, or a week, I promise it will make a difference.
Thank you for all you do, all your prayers, and all your generosity. We love you and are so grateful to have you on our team!
Every year in January we begin our volunteer training. It’s pretty intense for a volunteer role, but these wonderful people are up for the challenge. It’s especially important that we have quality training for those who will be in direct or indirect contact with women in crisis. These volunteers have gone through government background checks, applications, and interviews with our Zoe team. They have jump through the hoops required to qualify and are on the journey with us preparing to help countless women in crisis. So we like to set out a nice spread for them when they show up (They didn’t want to pose for a picture. Haha.)
We’re so grateful for those who come to us interested in helping. And we’re even more grateful for those who choose to go through the process of training with us. Our team here in Ireland is getting stronger and stronger every week. And you are also part of our team. The volunteers here learning and service, you as you give and pray…we are all working together to see God do something great in the lives of women who desperately need the love of Christ.
Thank you for all you do.
