Summer Holiday...Not a Chance...

July and August are shaping up to be two of CMS Ireland’s busiest months – and there’s not a beach ball or sun lounger in sight!

In the next two months: almost 100 people will be taking part in teams to Nepal, Egypt, Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya; we have short-term placements placements in Zambia and Uganda; and a host of volunteers will descend on Belfast and Dublin for ‘Summer Madness’ and ‘Urban Soul’.

So if you want to play your part in what’s going on then get praying for the teams, individuals and churches who’ll be working with CMS Ireland this summer…

Back home

We are coming home for a leave of 4 months from early July.

Hopefully we will catch up with many of you over those 4 months and we look forward to seeing friends and family and visiting our link churches over that time.
