We are Denise and Gary Swabey and we now live in Ballincollig, Co. Cork Ireland. Gary Swabey was born in England and moved to Canada in 1968. Denise Ryan was born in Vancouver B.C. Met in high school in Kelowna but as Gary was 2 years older it took until Denise was in grade 12 for him to take notice.Gary was Denise's grad date in 1979 and married in 1982.Have 4 girls Tianna,1983, Kirbey, 1985, twins Shanaya and TaLeah 1995. During this time Gary and Denise came to know Jesus and went to Prairie Bible College 90-94. Then Gary became Asst. Pastor at First Baptist in Kelowna from 94-2000 then Lead Pastor at Summerland Baptist and now he is pastoring Lee Valley Bible Church in Ireland. While at Prairie our second daughter was hit by a car and recieved a serious brain injury and to this day remains quite handicapped although she can walk and talk and is sure a part of the family.Tianna married in 2004 to Luke Riemer and lives in Summerland, and gave us our first grand daughter Danai Kirbey on Oct 26/06. To find out why we are called Rain Happens check our our Dec. 8/05 blog.
