I wish I had a picture of Will as a baby hanging out in his stroller while we did youth ministry to compare it to this picture of him leading a game at youth group last night. 😀 The stories we hear of what happens in the schools and in some of the homes here in Ireland break our hearts. There is not nearly the parental involvement here and often there aren’t any consequences for doing wrong. The challenge to reach young people with the love of God is great and makes youth ministry all the more crucial. Bill and I are coming alongside Discovery’s youth pastor for a season to help train and mentor her and to help build up a team around her. She is only 19 but is exceptionally committed and has a deep love and passion for the youth. We are excited that this is a part of the ministry we get to do here. Pray that we will be effective during this season!

We are the Chappels! Our three amazing children are Will, Logan, and Victoria. For almost 14 years we served as pastors in both Michigan and Indiana. While serving in these two pastoral positions, we knew that each of them were molding us to be the missionaries that God has called us to be since our youth. We are fully appointed and were commissioned as missionaries in 2012. Our passion is to be a part of Jesus building His church around the world. ~ Matthew 16:18
After our commissioning, we served in a sensitive country and Ireland. While serving in these countries our focus was working with national teams to plant churches. We have been blessed to launch children’s ministries, host loads of missions teams, minister in schools across Ireland, and develop discipleship programs. Our most recent success was planting a church in the city of Tuam, Ireland. Now we have been invited to Budapest, Hungary.
We believe that the LORD has gifted us in creating capicity among local churches. It is from this growth that we will be able to disciple new leadership. Our desire is to raise up local leaders to create national leadership teams. Through these teams, we will plant churches among SPG's and the ungaged in Hungary. We believe that through your partnership with us, we will see the Kingdom of God expand as many new churches are planted!
