Hello! My name is Joanna and this upcoming February 27th- March 7th, I will be joining some amazing friends for a missions trip to NORTHERN IRELAND!

We will be partnering with, RIOT (Revival In Our Towns) which is a youth center designed to be a safe, loving and encouraging place for local youth in Northern Ireland. Most of these students don’t have a connection to a church.

At the youth center, we will get to love on and share the love of Jesus with these students who need the hope of Christ, in the small town of Dundrum, Northern Ireland. This will be through intentional relationship, building, worshipping with them, and activities.

Over the summer God really placed this trip on my heart as I learned about RIOT and how they disciple students. I am so grateful that I grew up in a youth ministry with amazing leaders surrounding me. But unfortunately, these students do not have the same access to youth groups, student ministries, and youth leaders who can pour into their lives. Once hearing this, I felt so compelled to step into what RIOT is doing.

With that, I need help getting over the pond! Your prayers mean the most to me throughout this trip. Please be lifting up my team, our travel time, and most importantly, the hearts of the students we encounter. Pray that they experience the love and hope of Christ, and can then go out and make disciples! Creating a beautiful ripple effect through Northern Ireland, and throughout Europe. If you feel compelled to donate financially, I will put some links below. The goal is $1,100! Lots of love, Joanna
