A Blast from the Past & Jessica the Youthworker

Today I had a chance to meet with someone that I actually met ten years ago during my first trip to Ireland. Click here for more.

Recently, we've enjoyed the opportunity to bless a young woman named Jessica who's serving short time with GEM here in Dublin for eight months. She's been staying in our guest room while she looks for a more permanent housing situation. (Permanent in an 8-month sort of way.) Jessica is beginning her work with the young people at a small church startup in the Ballycullen/Firhouse area just up the motorway from us. It's been good having her around as she navigates the bus system and then tells us how it all works. =) We're praying that her time here will be life-changing and that she will have opportunity for spiritual impact on young people in Ballycullen.

Jessica is from northern Minnesota, so she and Kristy have been able to relate on a few things. Like, um . . . hockey and ice fishing. I'm telling you. Those Minnesotans are party animals.
