Greetings everyone!
We hope this update finds you well. A lot has happened since our last update. The most important news is Beth finally recieved her official work visa! By God's grace and Beth's hard work we finally have this crucial document. Now that she has her visa, I need to meet with immigration to get the proper documents that will allow me to live here under her visa. When you think about us, please pray this last part of the process will go smoothly.
Anna and Avery both came to visit us and spent significant time here. We loved having them and it was sad to see them go. I think Saoirse especially loved spending time with her older sisters! Beth and I are looking forward to Nate and Abbey visiting us in the summer.
I continue to lead worship once a month at Cornerstone Church in Bray. I'm also involved with the Alpha course that is taking place at our church. If you are not familiar with Alpha, it is a course that presents the basics of what it means to follow Jesus. It's great for new believers and people who are searching. We have a great time sharing a meal, watching a short video and then talking about what we watched. Sharing a meal and talking about Jesus is a wonderful way to spend a Thursday night!
In a previous update I talked about the ICEJ here in Ireland. Beth and I have offered to help the ICEJ organization which has a chapter based in Bray. ICEJ stands for International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem. This orgainzation is based in Israel and has chapters all across the world. It's purpose is to show the love of Jesus to the Jewish people and to support them through various means. Unfortunately, Ireland has some deep anti-semitic roots and the importance of the ICEJ in Ireland cannot be overstated. The good news is Beth and I just attended the annual conference and there were over 250 people who attended to show their support for Israel and the Jewish people here in Ireland. I'll be leading worship at the March 8th meeting. If you would like to know more about the ICEJ and our involvement, feel free to email or direct message us. I'll also provide a few links below concerning the ICEJ.
We are approaching the 6th month mark and honestly it feels like we've been here for a few years. It takes a lot to move to another country but we know this is where God wants us to be. We miss the people we left behind but we are happy for the new relationships we are building. We cherish your prayers and are grateful for those who have reached out with a text for phone call. If you would like to financially support us, the information is provided below. Thank you for taking the time to read this upate, it means a lot to us. Keep running your race for Jesus and never give up!
Grace and Peace,
Aaron, Beth and Saoirse
