AYC'ers!!! Taylor Fairbanks here!!!
I hope everyone else is as excited as a dog at a KFC buffet like I am!
We leave in less than 6 days to embark on one of the greatest trips of your life.

So there have been a lot of questions about what to pack and what weather will be like, Here's the deal:
When we get to Dublin, it's going to be rather cool compared to summer over here. Like high of 65 cool.
So for our tenure in Ireland, you don't need to pack the turtlenecks, but make sure you have a light jacket and even bring some light, long sleeve shirts to help layer your clothing.
The humidity gets pretty high in Ireland so having a few layers to fall back on would be great.
(You'll want to have a light jacket on the plane anyways because they get cold)

2nd location: Paris, France
Those of you going the 18th to Paris will go when temperatures will be in the 70s and get down to the mid 50s. With the amount of walking you will be doing, you shouldn't get cold. Humidity is not high at all so it'll feel incredible.
Those going the 20th will have a little bit of rain in Paris and temps will be mid 60s and only get down to the high 50s.
The last group (Fairbanks group) will have only a small amount of rain with temps in the mid 60s the whole time.
In all of these trips they will be filled with a LOT of walking. By the end of the day you'll feel like the winner of a 5k who needs to be awarded their prize.
And Josh Wilson's short legs move a lot faster than you think they do.

Last location: Krakow, Poland
Krakow is gonna be nice and sunny. Temps getting into the 80s some days but they will get down to the 50s. Poland will include lots of walking and handing out flyers as well so pack the light jacket for night time, but the light summer clothes for the daytime and some good walking shoes.

These weather forecasts are subject to change but most likely this is how it will be. You can check up on the weather as it gets closer on your own if you have any questions. Here;s the links I used for all the info.

Lastly, make sure you have the 3 business casual outfits for our revival services during the week with Brother Chessor as well as one dressy church fit for Sunday service. If you have sensitive sunscreen, bring it on because we will be outside a LOT.  Make sure you get your Euros exchanged if you have not already. They're cheaper over here and it's a bit less of a hassle. Anything else that you have questions about, email or call Josh Wilson.

I hope all of you have been participating on the focused prayer for the trip. It's going to be an incredible trip and we want God to be able to manifest Himself as much and as often as possible. I talked to Josh and we agree that the focus should be put on Poland for a few days. This is a work that is still in its infancy. The Adams have not been there long compared to other missionaries and this is a chance for us to go and help expedite the growth of a potentially incredible church that the Adams can cultivate.


Romans 10:12-15
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

We are helping this happen. It's going to be an exciting, wonderful, and furthering time in our spiritual walks. Can't wait to be with you all and have a LOT of fun.
