Missions

 Phil & Cheryl Kingsley serve with Greater Europe Missions in Ireland.  GEM misisonaries focus on being disciples, reflecting Christ wherever and however they serve. They're ordinary people doing extraordinary things in order to make disciples. This takes place through relationships & service in the name of Christ. It happens in the context of community. Phil & Cheryl have been living and serving in Ireland for nearly 25 years, helping to develop local communities of people who aim to know and follow Jesus.

Matt & Hailey Kingsley live in Dublin, Ireland with their 2 children: Eoin & Moia. They are youth workers with the teens of Greater Europe Mission. Every year they visit each teen - over 60 throughout Europe. They organize annual camps for the teens in the summer & winter, but the majority of their time is spent building relationships with these teens online (ie. instant messaging, e-mail, skype, the GEM-K website, etc.) The goal is to deepen each kids relationship with Christ. There is a huge need out there. Most of these GEM-Kids are without solid Christian friends or youth leaders. Loneliness & spiritual decay are real issues in their lives.
