Kathi Perry November Deputation Update

Dear Friends,

I’ve been busy these last weeks, and it has been good to see many of you on my travels. Since my last update I have been in California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky! I’m writing from Kentucky now. I am so thankful for the opportunity to share about my work in Ireland, and the people that I love so much there. It has been a pleasure to visit some new places and meet people whose names I have seen over the years on different reports but haven’t had the chance to meet in real life until now. I have felt loved and supported and encouraged – Thank you!

In this week of Thanksgiving, I am very thankful for my life in Ireland. Twenty years ago, I celebrated Thanksgiving with my family, and just a few days later I got on a plane for Ireland. I arrived there on November 27, 2001. There have been great challenges, and great joy over the years. God has made a home for me there and given me friends who are like family. And I am so thankful.

I am also thankful for the chance to be in California for Thanksgiving again! I think that has only happened once in the last twenty years. I’m looking forward to holidays with my family.

As we approach the holidays, there are fewer opportunities for me to travel and speak, but if you are local in California and would like to have me come to your small group or church (or if you want to hear about Christmas traditions in Ireland!) give me a shout. I would be glad to come if we can work it out.
