Southwest Visit

We are delighted to be spending the weekend with Tralee Baptist Church from 24th - 26th November in County Kerry.

We will be delivering a couple of workshops to the church on Saturday 25th and sharing with them on Sunday 26th during their Sunday worship time. There are a few ways that you can be involved in this trip!

1) Finance: As a small ministry seeking to build up the church across Ireland, trips like this are only made possible through the generosity of believers and churches who see the value in equipping Christians to read the Bible for themselves.

If you would like to make a gift to support this trip, or help us with future trips, please consider making a donation either through Stewardship, or by contacting us directly. Any gifts that are specifically for this trip should be earmarked “Southwest23” and it will all go towards this initiative.

2) Let people know: We have set aside time on Friday night and Saturday afternoon to meet with church leaders in that area as we want to connect with others and hear about their churches and the ministries they are involved in. If you know a church leader in that area, please tell them we’re going to be about! And pass on our email address: info@preceptireland.org. (P.S. We’ll buy them a coffee!)

3) Pray: Please pray for us as we leave Belfast on Friday 24th. It is a long drive to County Kerry, so prayers for safety in travel there and back are needed. Pray too that our workshops and training will bring benefit to the church in Tralee and for opportunities to share about Precept with others in the region.

Thank you for supporting us!

Blessings,

Dave
National Director

Tribute: Anne Cairns

It is with great sadness that the board and staff of Precept Ireland learned of the passing of Anne Cairns on Saturday 14th October, 2023, and extend our sincerest condolences to her daughter Rachel and family.

Anne has long been a Precept Ireland supporter and advocate, and was instrumental in establishing Precept here in Ireland. Anne had been foundational in helping to bring Precept to Ireland, and was a trustee when it was setup as a trust in 2005 where she then served on the Precept board for several years. She was a major support to Precept’s first National Director Valerie Murphy, and served as a friend and encourager.

Anne’s love for God and her knowledge of His Word was evident to all who knew her. After stepping down from the board, she continued to attend Precept events, and supported the team by praying faithfully for us. In recent years she had consistently led Precept classes in her own church alongside her daughter Rachel. Though Anne was a capable communicator and excellent Bible teacher, she committed herself firstly to be a student of the Scriptures, and others always benefitted from her insights.

Please join us in praying for Rachel, Anne’s son-in-law Dominic, her grandchildren, the family circle and all those who knew and loved Anne, and who will feel this great loss.

A service of thanksgiving will be held in Green Pastures Church, Ballymena, on Thursday 19th October at 12.00pm.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:21

A few weeks back we were delighted to announce the unanimous appointment by the board of Mr David (Dave) Wilson as the new National Director of Precept Ireland , officially taking over from Valerie on the 1st April 2023.

We would ask you to continue to pray for Dave and Valerie as they transition over the coming weeks and that both will continue to be used for God's glory in what He has called them to do. 

To that end the office will be open on Monday 20th March from 10 AM - 1 PM for you to drop in, enjoy some light refreshment, and to chat and pray with Dave and Valerie. If you're free we would love for you to join us.

If you're planning to call in could we ask you to email info@preceptireland.org to let us know so we have an idea of numbers for catering purposes. We hope to see you then.
