Awaken Ireland



In one month,  I will be embarking on exciting journey with 6 others to the nation of Ireland. If you have been getting updates from me for a while, you will know how exciting this really is for me to be able to lead this outreach team to this very special nation that is immensely dear to my heart!

If you are sitting there asking why we would go to Ireland, I will go on to tell you that the Lord’s heart is for this nation to be a family and to come to know Jesus as the Father, the Healer, the Comforter, and the Savior. Not many people realize that Ireland is one nation that is incredibly separated. The nation as a whole is split up into the North and the Republic, or even more specifically, the Protestants (North) and the Catholics (Republican). Many families in Ireland carry generations of hate towards each other without even really knowing why. There is a peace wall that runs along the north, separating the Catholics and the Protestants. It is a physical representation of disunity in the nation. The Irish kill the British out of hatred and disunity, and vice versa. This gorgeous nation suffers from the stronghold of death and disunity.


My heart is to see this nation revived! I desire not to choose a side and try to convert the other. Yet, I desire to be a bridge of unity, pointing to the one true Father of Hope. We know we can see this nation join in the family and body of Christ just by being relational.



We are heading out to Ireland to serve the country and other ministries. We will team up a bit with the YWAM crew and others as well, yet our main goal is to ask the Lord His heart everyday for His people and what He would have for them, and then to be obedient in what He asks us to do! From worship in the streets to reaching out to the homeless, we desire to build friendships and trust with the Irish people so that they can see the hope and love of Jesus through us. We know Jesus lives inside of us and He wants to change the hearts of the lost. So, we plan on doing that! We plan on seeing the power of Jesus released! We plan on seeing miracles and healings! But most importantly, we plan on seeing the lost saved and for there to be unity in the body of Christ! We pray that these people would know their father!



If this stirs your spirit, which I pray it does, then you have the possibility to partner with us in seeing this done in this nation! We need your prayers and support! I promise, if you choose to sow into this outreach, you will reap the rewards of heaven! You will be playing a very crucial role in the lives of the lost! If you want to see salvations and healings and miracles, but can’t go to Ireland when we do physically, you can sow into it spiritually and still reap the rewards!



You can first of all pray for our team and for the nation! Prayer is the most powerful thing we believers can do for one another. We need prayer in these areas:


1. We do not have housing for Ireland at the moment. But we know Jesus will provide! Please pray that the right doors open and that we can find a place to rest our heads in Dublin, Ireland.

2. Pray for strength, wisdom, and joy! Ireland is a beautiful country, but it definitely is a heavy place spiritually! Pray that we have unity and joy in the midst of the strongholds of disunity and death.

3. Pray that the Lord’s will be done in this nation! Pray that we have boldness!

4. Lastly, please pray for finances! I am so excited to be able to be apart of this journey, but it is not free, nor do we get paid! I need to raise $7,000 by next week to be able to lead this team! If you sow financially into this outreach, I again promise you that you will reap the benefits and rewards of heaven! We can’t go to this nation and minister to these people without this money! We know the Lord will provide, so please simply pray and ask the Lord if you are to donate!

Thank you already for all your prayers and support! We are grateful!
