How do I get in touch with you????
My name is Lauren. I live currently in Cochrane, Alberta. I and 2 friends of mine have known for a few months that is God is calling us on a short term mission trip to Ireland, and we have been praying since then about where and how we can serve him. Last Sunday, there was a Ms. Blazina, who goes to Summerland Baptist, at my church, and she told me about you. I would love to talk with you guys, search it out with God, and see if He may be calling us to do something in Cork with you guys. It's daveandlauren@hotmail.com.
