Snail Mail

You should have received some snail mail from me recently or you will get it this week or next.
Enclosed you will find my prayer card and a flyer which tells you what work i hope to do and how to support me financially and in prayer. Please don't throw it in the bin, read it and pray about the role God wants you to play. I can't go unless you give and pray. Thanks in advance.

Skype Conference call

I will take part in my first conference call via skype this evening. Since my support group all live in different parts of the country we decided the best way to meet was in cyberspace, hopefully it will work and we will get lots discussed and decided upon.

Money, money, money

Hi all I thought I would just clarify something for you.....As you can see from this blog i need to raise €30,000 before i can go to start my new work in Tramore, this does not mean i will earn €30,000! The money goes to ECM (european christian mission) and then they will pay me an amount per month (from which i need to pay for materials needed for work, mileage etc), the rest goes towards a pension, to a training fund and to mission admin costs so after i pay tax the total i get will be more like €20,000. If you have any more questions to ask about this please feel free to ask thanks.
