Tip & Laurie Killingsworth have been serving Jesus Christ for over 40 years and want to glorify God in every way possible. A major "Life Chapter" for them was a transition from the U.S to Ireland in their mid-twenties, and even though they've done it before, it’s a bit scary to do it again in their mid-sixties … They're super excited about this next chapter in their lives and ministry! They arrived in Dublin on a sunny Friday morning, September 14, 2012. After a delicious breakfast at Dublin Airport they bundled their 200lbs of "stuff" into the Teen Challenge- Ireland van and off they went to Tiglin about half an hour south of Dublin.
They’ve been asked to disciple and mentor two dozen men and half a dozen women at the TCI residential job training center at Tiglin, Co. Wicklow (south of Dublin). The goal is to give students a second chance to become productive and spiritually grounded adults. Most aren’t teenagers. The men do an intensive 18-mo. program and the women are in a 6- mo. program since most of them have young children.
