Chris & Joi Copeland
Galway, Ireland
Key Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6
Ministry Focus: Our ministry exists to strengthen and support a church-planting movement in Ireland—not by planting churches ourselves, but by equipping and empowering the hub that does. We invest in leadership development, spiritual formation, writing, worship leading, pastoral care, preaching, evangelism, discipleship, Bible studies, neighboring, and ministries that strengthen men, women, and families. We serve from Galway City Baptist Church (GCBC), a healthy, multicultural congregation that functions as a strategic sending hub for new church plants across the West of Ireland. Our vision is to help GCBC remain a vibrant, well-resourced center from which new gospel communities can take root and flourish throughout the region.
Please pray:
- that our lives would shine with the light of Christ in places where hope feels dim, and that God would open doors for deep, redemptive relationships among both the Irish and the growing international community
- for God to awaken hearts across Ireland to a living, vibrant faith in Jesus
- that, together with partners like you, our ministry would bring the hope of the gospel to those who feel forgotten or without hope
