-obviously since this is not the hard copy of my letter then you can't send me back a prayer request. But if you leave me a comment I will add it to my things to pray for. Thank you so much and enjoy!
Britny McElfresh = EXCITED!!!!
I have really good news; God is taking me back to Ireland! And I'm so excited about it!!!
The last time I left the United States I was sure God was going to use my French studies and my love of France in some fashion to the French people, but after I visited France, I left and headed to the country of Ireland. Since that trip, Ireland has held my heart and has never really let it go!
This summer as I was visiting Mark and Janet Brazee’s church in Tulsa, I was drawn to the ministries of the Dejournett’s church in Limerick, Ireland, and from that point I knew I was going back to Ireland. God was sending me back to the country that has never left, or let go of my heart!
After researching the Dejournett’s ministries, I am still blown away that the things that are impressed upon my heart, are the same desires of their hearts. In fact, their number one goal in their vision statement is “Creating and building the youth ministry of World Outreach Christian Center in Limerick Ireland”, then, their number two vision statement is “: training young believers in the ministry of praise and worship”. Wow, both vision statements line right up with the call God has placed in my heart…Youth and Worship Music Ministry!
I look forward to growing and learning in both of these calls as I push towards the goals and visions God has placed on my heart and the hearts of the Dejournett’s. While in Ireland for two weeks, I will be at the Dejournett’s church in Limerick helping them with their children camp. When I first met the Dejournett’s they told me that the more helpers they have come to camp, the more children they can bring in,(this is where I come in). Last year they did not have enough helpers and consequently had to turn children away, so my going to help this year will afford another hand full of children an opportunity to hear and learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Along with that, I will get to use the gifts God has given me in the area of acting, painting (especially finger painting) and the joy of ministering to children.
If God leads you to sow into the call of my life through the Dejournett’s ministry, not only would that be a blessing to me, but moreover to the children of Limerick Ireland. The total amount of this mission will be $2900, which includes all travel, room & board, and food. If you would like to contribute to the funding of this mission please make all checks payable to "New Creation Church" and put on the memo line "Britny McElfresh Mission". As the Word of God states in II Corinthians 9:10, I will be believing for your “seed to be multiplied and your fruits increased”. I would also like an opportunity to bless you back, as you will notice there is a prayer request card included with this letter. Please fill it out and let me know how I can stand in faith with you on what you are believing God for. I will be prayer over them just as soon as I get them, and am praising and thanking God that they are already answered, just as I am standing and believing in faith for the provision of this trip.
I know God has a great plan for this trip and I am excited to see it come to fruition. You can also follow me on my blog as the pieces start to come together in the upcoming days and weeks. (britnymcelfresh.blogspot.com) I will continually be updating information, posting photos, and communicating progress of this ministry as it progresses. I am so looking forward to seeing how the Hand of God blesses you, as you bless and sow into this ministry.
Thank you so much!
