We're going!

Well it's official! We are in full "prepare to go to Ireland mode"!

So we are filling out applications, applying for passports, figuring out what to get rid of and what to take and looking into a mountain of logistics. 

Jon will be applying to University of Cork for a Masters program. He met with the department while he was there and they essentially said "You are in. Please apply to make it official." This bumps up our timeline to trying to get there and settle in by September. Wow!
The advantage of the Masters is being able to apply for a student visa, the potential for working into the system for staying long term and being able to facilitate a campus ministry for the church.

We will be trying to find a house that is readily accessible so that we can have an open house policy for students and whoever else.

We will also be involved with the young adults, the young marrieds, the children's ministry and the Ireland School of Ministry.

So please pray:
- The logistics of moving are daunting in any situation but they are magnified when it means going overseas. Please pray for all those details.

- For all the paperwork, from passports to visas and applications to go smoothly.

- For the right fit for a house and school for the boys.

- and finally for all the finances to come together! We are hoping that we will have a very large team of prayer partners and supporters who will commit to everything from $10 a month to $1000 a month.

We are still working on getting an online portal for giving online and might soon launch an indiegogo campaign but meanwhile you can mail checks to :
A.C.T. Intl
PO Box 1649
Brentwood, TN 37024

Add a note in the envelope that says “Contribution for Fund 1011 FlourishArtsIreland/Gillin”


We are excited for this journey to gain momentum and to share the adventure with you. Please personal message me with your regular mail address and email if you are interested in the weekly and monthly updates.

Thanks for walking and praying alongside us!
