Ministry at a Glance
Primary Ministry Focus Church planting, leadership training, field leadership, sharing the Good News of Christ and discipleship. The People The Cumings work primarily with Irish youth and multi-national families, especially professionals. Major Challenges The biggest challenge is materialism and apathy toward spiritual truths, as well as having their ministry regarded as a cult. Prayer Focus Pray that the long time friendships with unbelievers will lead to trust and openness to the gospel. Pray that the Galway team will be a loving example to the local believers of servants who sacrificially follow Christ.
