BAIRD Family: PEAK SEASON

Are you a part?

It's June...it's summer...it's hot! However, it happens to be the beginning of the "PEAK SEASON" for these radiant flowers. Is it even possible to pass by one of these and not smile, or awe in His wonder? Passing a field of sunflowers will no doubt turn your head. There are many flowering plants that will produce multiple blooms. Yet, God chose for these tall beauties to have one bloom, one stem.

Nevertheless...

Sunflowers are made of anywhere between 1000-2000 individual flowers at the base of the bright yellow petals. If we're counting parts, you can add the 2000 seeds that form at the center of the flower. I believe it is safe to say that it is the work of all these parts that enable this bloom to stand tall.

So, why the sunflower?

A few months ago, a special lady shared at Randal's birthday party, the importance of having many seeds in the bloom of a sunflower. She then shared how she felt a part of our Baird Journey; one of the many seeds that are needed and used for His purposes. With "PEAK SEASON" beginning for the sunflowers, it is also "PEAK SEASON" for the Baird Journey. If we are going to depart for Ireland in time for the boys to start school, then we are in "PEAK SEASON". We are believing and declaring for God to move on our behalf during this "PEAK SEASON".

What's needed?

Over the past year, we have added 53 individuals/families/churches to our monthly support team. There has also been numerous individuals/families/churches who have given offerings toward the Baird Journey. This has set us up at 98% of our cash budget raised and almost 45% of our monthly support.

We lack about 50% of our monthly support in order to have clearance for Ireland.

We are grateful for each one who has prayed for, encouraged, financially supported, and loved our family. They are the many seeds that allow the one to stand tall! They are also many seeds sowed into a nation whose waiting to stand tall. Our heart is to reach the people of Ireland, and we also believe it is "PEAK SEASON" for this nation. Will you be a seed? A part that makes the whole? You can become a part by joining our team and sharing our story.

When all of these dots are green, we can go!
