Summer & New Building
1985 some of the Dublin Church on a retreat.
It was 25 years ago, 1985, that God first let me serve Him in Ireland. I was single, slim and stirred-up for God! It was a very exciting time. We hit a vein of revival in Dublin. Five years later Wendy and I felt called to plant a church in Delft, the Netherlands. So we moved there with our little 9 month old baby (Michael). It was not easy leaving the “Dublin church” with all it’s really great people. Many in the photo above are involved in some type of ministry or church work today.
Family get-together in Atlanta.
We had a great time in the States in July seeing friends and family although not as many as I would have liked. That’s the hard part about being there. There’s never enough time to see everyone.

Some of Cork pastors at get together.
I have very much enjoyed building relationships with various leaders in this region. I’ve also had the privellege of being invited to pastor’s meetings in both Waterford and Cork. The church in Ireland is going to the next level relationally and strategically and is starting to think about the next 50 years. They are asking the question: How will the Irish church impact and change this Nation?

For the past seven months we have felt God leading us to contend in prayer for a building of our own within Dungarvan town. As a church, united in agreement and in God’s will, we have recently signed the lease on a building!!! !God really opened the doors and gave us divine favour to have a place in such a perfect location; in the centre of town on the quay. We have a great vision to further serve the community in a way unique to Dungarvan with potential outreaches including youth meetings, children’s outreach, film nights, late night cafe, prayer meetings, worship practice, meals, and celebrations… The opportunities are endless! This is such an incredible opportunity!
Great post Kyle! That’s so exciting that God opened up a regular meeting place for you all! We are so proud of you, and love you and pray for you and your precious family!
awesome stuff, Kyle! very exciting…wish we could visit!
Fantastic! His plans are good, as you and the team pray them out & then walk them out. Looking forward to hearing about the building & the positive impact on the community with ya’ll in it!
Looks like you have a good time fun with your family!
Great to see you moving around and impacting the city. A new building!!! WOW, go forward brother and share the love off Christ!

It is awesome see how God shines His light apon the ministry in Ireland.
Good News, Kyle!
It’s great to see what your doing and the church getting more and more established in the town. Be blessed and a blessing
Dear Kyle and Wendy, we are really blessed to keep up with all that you are doing, and are praying for you!!! Leave some space for us to be with you all next year. Love, John and Julie
I love to hear what God is doing through you all…I like this forum so I can read about it and see the photos.
Kyle, It was so great that Thelma and I, and also Gail & George could be there in Ireland just when this new facility came about. We felt honored to be there to inspect the new place, to pray over it, and to join others in prayer over the new place. So glad to hear that you already have chairs, and have the sound equipment in there. I told Pastor Ken about your the building, and also that you were going to need some help financially in getting the equipment that will be needed.
Great to see you, and Wendy and your girls, and all the Dungarvan church family.
