I'm off again . . . I really hope I have a wife and kids to come back to when this month is over. I'm heading to Dublin for the night. I'll be meeting with our speaker (or 'messenger' as I now like to call them) for our annual Republic of Ireland youth weekend called Anois. His name is Rev. Ian Cruicshank - don't let the 'Rev.' throw you. He rides around on a motorbike and has talked about wearing a Hawaiian clergy shirt with his 'dog collar' (white band around neck). He's very passionate, dynamic and action-oriented. We're really excited to have him for this year's weekend. I'll be back tomorrow for a few days before leaving again on Sunday for the centre and west of Ireland! I think I need a personal helicopter . . . Here's the key: Green house - where we currently live in N. Ireland / Red house - where we hope to move to in Co. Tipperary in January '06 / Yellow asterix - places I'll be making stops for work or play / Red line - my route on the way (note: houses not shown to scale).
For the last two years I have had the privilege of getting to know a man called Michael Guido. 'Guido' as he's better known, has been a friend to those in the Arts & Entertainment industry for over 20+ years. He's a pastor of sorts and a spiritual companion. Guido is a pioneer in the 'road pastor' tradition - supporting groups like Jars of Clay , dc Talk , POD , Michael W. Smith , Switchfoot and others. He, his wife Celeste and indeed his entire family have given so much for the calling on their lives to support, challenge and encourage artists and their families in their relationship with Christ. Please pray for the Guidos if you're the praying type. Pray for protection, financial support, joy and an overriding sense of God's clear calling on their ministry - PR Ministries . The PR stands for 'Persuing Relationships'. Every time we speak, Guido challenges me with his intense love for God and his knowledge of the Scriptures. H
