The Patterson Family
Our Friend Rickey

Greetings!

We want to thank you for all you prayers for our friend Rickey Kraemer who suffered a coma after a motorcycle accident while visiting friends and family in Nashville.  Since we last communicated with you, Rickey has slowly come out of his coma and been moved to New York for rehab.  He and his wife Caitlyn are now able to be near their friends and church family. Caitlyn's family has created a Caring Bridge site where you can get current information on his status. To register, please visit caringbridge.org/visit/rickeykraemer and sign up by setting up a quick login with email and password.

Just the other day I was talking to Caleb about character and what kind of man he wanted to be when he got out of college.  He didn't miss a beat in his reply, "I want to be like Rickey."  Rickey has had and continues to have a huge part in our lives.  As you continue to pray for him, please also pray for Jon and Christy Tyson who have been like parents to Rickey for the last ten years.

Dublin, Ireland
financial crisis in Ireland
 
After several months of prayer and many face-to-face meetings, Trinity Grace  Church has officially  begun our partnership with Rob and Dilys Jones who lead Holy Trinity Church.  Rob pastors Holy Trinity in the urban center of Dublin, Ireland.  Kelly and I will be traveling to Ireland this summer to help train their leaders, pray for the city and encourage Rob and Dilys.  We are so grateful for the opportunity to come alongside and partner with these brothers and sisters in Europe.

Please pray that the Kingdom would come in Dublin as it is in heaven.                              
Alison and Brett Landry
Calgary and Vancouver

For those of you north of the border, you will be excited to hear we have been invited to partner with pastors in both Calgary and Vancouver, Canada.  Craig and Zac Eagle pastor Kensington Church of Hope in Calgary, while Brett Landry and Lance Odegard pastor two churches in Vancouver. These four amazing men have asked us to coach and help them as they are launching new works of God in their cities.  I just returned yesterday from visiting them, and we spent some great times praying about laying the groundwork for a long-term partnership.  I will spend the bulk of our next newsletter filling you in on my journey to Canada!  The above picture is of Brett and Alison Landry in front of the Vancouver theatre where their church meets.

Please pray that God would give us both wisdom and direction as we come alongside these visionary men as they lead their churches.
