When are you leaving?

That seems to be the question of the hour.  I get asked regularly when I'm leaving, here's the answer:  I'm not sure yet, Lord willing in the next few months.  I'm leaving for Ireland on July 30th for a short term basis, I will be helping Matt Kingsley out with the Gem-K conference in Sopron, Hungary then coming back to the States on August 20th.  I still need to raise more support.  God has been awesome though and put people around me who have been a great encouragement and spiritual support and brought about situations that have helped me grow and prepare to go overseas. 

God has brought several short term opportunities to serve overseas in places such as India, Bosnia and Hungary as well as trips to Ireland to visit Matt (who is also my cousin) and his family.  I had the chance to be a staff member of the GEM-K conference in 2006 and came to an awareness that God might want me to be in full time missions.  

I have been accepted for a nine month internship and appointed by Greater Europe Mission (GEM) to the Europe wide ministry of the GEM-K Ministry under Matt and Hailey Kinsley.

What I'll be doing in Ireland is helping out Matt Kingsley (you can read about him, his family and ministry on kingsleyclan.blogspot.com) with his ministry to missionary kids all over Europe and the local Irish students for nine months.  We will be running camps, trips, and conferences, being a support system for the MKs (missionary kids),discipling and keeping in contact with them through facebook, skype and the like.
