Ireland Trip

Thank you so much for being a part of carrying the cross and believing in us.  We are planning on having many more trips to come and we would love for you to be a part and follow along.


The following post is an update from Aric's recent Ireland Trip in which Aric and Matt Wilson traveled to Ireland to carry the cross.  This was a 14 day trip in which they saw God move in powerful ways.  The following are some of the highlights...


1.  They got to walk with the cross in the Tall Ships Festival in Waterford Ireland.  80,000 people attended the opening of the Tallships festival and they had 300,000 people on the busiest day.  Aric said it was people as far as the eye could see as they carried the cross and preached the gospel.  I beleive he said they walked and shared for about 10 hours. 

2.  They were then taken in by a Christian Amish family and spent the night with them.

3.  They walked on to Wexford and then were picked up by other Amish believers who took them to Wales and England.  In Wales they walked with the cross for two hours and led a man to the Lord. 

4.  They then got to walk with the cross for a few hours in England and encountered a woman who was significantly touched by the love of Jesus.

5.  On the second day they walked with the cross they met a 20 year old German man who came to Ireland to find God.  He has been traveling with them preaching the gospel since they met him  Aric and Matt have been discipling him.

6.  They have seen about 12 people pray to receive Jesus so far.  Many more people have heard the gospel and experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit.  They shared the full gospel with at least 200 people; Praise God 



All for the Love of Jesus,












Welcome to "Follow the cross".  I want to invite you to join my journey of watching Jesus change the nations through the power of his love displayed through the cross.  I will be sharing videos, pictures, stories and our itinerary so that you can pray for us and then rejoice in what he is doing.   Thanks for stopping by and I pray that the love of God, the grace of Jesus and the friendship of the Holy Spirit be with you.
