Seeds of Hope

I haven't been writing much recently. I have been really busy and just have not slowed down enough to jot anything down or read. I do want to take a moment to share with you about a mission opportunity our fmily is involved at EPC.
We are preparing to take a team to Ballymena, Norhern Ireland for ten days of ministry. What makes this trip exciting for me, personally, is that my entire family will be joining me. My wife and younger children, 12 and 15, have never been on a mission project overseas. I am excited they will be joining the team.
During our time in Ballymena, we will be working along side of the Ballyloughan Presbyterian Church and Hillside Community Church. We will be participating in VBS, sports outreach, evangelism and community service projects in the Dunclug, Dunvale, and Millfield housing estates (in American English, they are called projects). Most of the people we will be ministering to are unchurched. Drug abuse is rampant in these estates among people living from paycheck to paycheck. Many immigrants and travelers (gypsies) live in these estates, making this an international opportunity.
Pray for our family and team as we prepare to go. We each have to raise $2000 for the trip. Please pray that the Lord will provide all of the monies needed. Pray for the hearts of the people of Ballymena. Pray for boldness to proclaim the gospel clearly. Pray about being a part of our support team. If God moves you to support our effort, you can contact me through this link Email David Zavadil.
