Are You Ready?

Leader

Michael Anderson & Hollie Porter

Michael and Hollie are so excited to be leading Exodus Team 37.

Having worked together for years, led HPC youth to Summer madness, youth weekends and MAD East, an Exodus team seemed the right next step!

Michael and Hollie are both keen to help you discover more of who God created you to be; disciples of
Jesus. If you want to have a good time, laugh a lot and come to know Jesus more, then HPC Team 37 is
for you.

P.s. If you ever want to interrupt their leader's meetings, join them at Percy’s and buy Michael a Cinnamon Swirl!

WHAT'S THE CRAIC!

Operation Mobilisation, Co. Roscommon

All Irish/UK adventures begin at our residential centre on the North Coast. Here, an energetic bunch of volunteers will lead you through your launch programme; two days packed full of team building, faith exploration and hopefully squeezing in a trip to The Lake, Kilrea.

We recommend investing in a comfy seat cushion for this one because after a fun filled launch you will take the 4 hour journey to the centre of our island.  Here, you will meet the amazing Helen Kerr at Lacken House and get set up for an incredible week in Rahara.  

This team is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to push themselves out of their comfort zones.  You will have the opportunity to partner with a local church to deliver a kids club for local children, participate in a youth programme or hop under the Big Red Tent to do a little community evangelism and prayer.  This really will be a team that tests your abilities and stretches your faith!

Make sure to get your name in for this one and join OM as they bring the hope of Jesus to rural Ireland!
