Hey friends!  Remember the Messenger Bag Giveaway I did last month?  (Check it out.)  Well I’m giving away another one!!

I’ve been selling these bags for years to raise money for Irish missions.  From time to time I like to give one away.  Why?  I’m really hoping that the person who uses it will be reminded to pray for God to move in Ireland.

Why Ireland?  Check this post out and don’t forget to watch the videos.  They’re great!  Also, check out my Ireland Missions page.

So what do you have to do?  The rules are the same as last time.  Just post a comment on this post and tell me what you’d use it for.  School?  Work?  Books?  Your laptop?  The other thing you’ll have to do is click that little retweet button on the left and tell your friends.  That’s it!  At the end of the week, my son will randomly pick a winner from the comments section and I will reveal the name of that person in a blog post with instructions on how to claim your new bag.  If you’re worried that you’re going to miss the post that reveals the winner, there’s a subscription link at the bottom of this post. (Or click the RSS button at the top of the page.)

If you don’t win (and even if you do) consider buying a bag from my eBay store.  All profits go to support Irish church planters.  Thanks!

Here’s a picture of that awesome bag.  Don’t forget to pray for Ireland!

For years I’ve been selling bags on eBay to raise money for Irish missions. (Check out my Irish Missions page).  I’m not sure why I chose military inspired messenger bags and back packs to sell.  Maybe because I like to read and I like something sturdy to carry my books around in.  Maybe it’s because Jack Bauer uses one of these sweet bags.  Maybe it’s because bags are “one size fits all” so I don’t have to deal with accepting very many returns on eBay.

Whatever the case, I really want to give a messenger bag to one of my cool blog readers.  (That’s you.  You’re cool!)  Why?  I’m hoping that whenever you use your cool new messenger bag, you’ll be reminded to pray for a move of God in Ireland.

So what do you have to do?  Just post a comment on this post and tell me what you’d use it for.  School?  Work?  Books?  Your laptop?  The other thing you’ll have to do is click that little retweet button on the left and tell your friends.  That’s it!  At the end of the week, my seven year old son will randomly pick a winner from the comments section and I will reveal the name of that person in a blog post with instructions on how to claim your new bag.  If you’re worried that you’re going to miss the post that reveals the winner, there’s a subscription link at the bottom of this post.

Many of you already know that I try to make it over to Ireland on a regular basis. When I go, I bring things like laptops or projectors or whatever I can afford to pick up so that I can bless Irish churches with much needed equipment. I also spend time prayer walking and praying with and for pastors there. In short, I just want to be a part of what God is doing there by being a blessing to the local Irish church.

I get asked frequently if I have any Irish ancestry. The answer is no. I know of no one in my family tree from Ireland. But I have a ton of spiritual heritage there (and so do you if you’re an American christian).

It’s really quite simple. God put a burden on my heart for Ireland. ‘Nuff said.

Years after my first visit to the Emerald Isle, I helped my friend Nick Park (an Irish Pastor) create a video that he could send to American churches to help him raise money for an important project he was undertaking. He talked about “Bringing the Heritage Home”. It was fascinating to hear him communicate about the deep christian history of Ireland and it’s influence on American Christianity. I recently found the video we produced together and thought I’d share some excerpts from it here.

The first is a brief but fascinating history lesson on Irish Christianity.  The second is a talk about Ireland’s influence on America and it’s church.  The third is pastor Nick’s personal testimony and it’s powerful!  Maybe these videos will stir your heart to be a blessing to Irish churches.  Let God speak to you through them.  Who knows, maybe we’ll there together one day!
