The Brechin Family

Dear Friends,

We are excited to share an incredible opportunity that God has placed before our family. This March, Brian, Becki, and our youngest daughter Bethany will be traveling with Revive Ireland to help launch Lighthouse Swords, the fourth Lighthouse Church location in Ireland.

Our Story

Missions has always been at the heart of our family. From the time Brian and I met in 1998—Brian serving on church staff in outreach and missions and myself just returning from ministry in Italy—God has continually called us to serve. In the early years of our marriage, we led short-term trips to Costa Rica, helping the poor and supporting new church plants. Later, we moved to Mississippi to serve another church plant while raising our five children—Sam, Isaac, Abby, Natalie, and Bethany.

For us, living out the gospel means what we call “doing the Book”—putting Scripture into action by serving our neighbors, extending hospitality, and pointing people to Jesus. With four of our children now young adults and Bethany approaching high school, we are still learning to “do the Book” together as a family, trusting God to use us in new ways.

Why Ireland?

When we first heard about the opportunity to help launch Lighthouse Swords, our hearts immediately leapt. We believe God is doing a great work in Ireland, and we want to be a part of supporting new church planters and serving the community there. As a family, we feel called to be co-laborers in the harvest, offering our time, talents, and resources to what God is building.

How You Can Partner With Us

We would be honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with us—whether through prayer, financial support, or both.

• Financial Support: The cost of the trip is approximately $3,500 per person, covering airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, and ministry expenses. You can give directly to our family or through Revive Ireland’s giving platform to receive a tax-deductible receipt.

• Prayer Support: We would love to build a prayer team! Before the trip, we’ll send short monthly updates with specific prayer requests. As we get closer, we’ll share a simple daily itinerary so you can pray over travel, ministry, and the people we meet. After the trip, we’ll follow up with praise reports of all God has done.

A Word From Our Hearts

Thank you for considering standing with us in this mission. Whether through prayer, finances, or encouragement, your partnership means more than we can express. We are simply bringing our “two fish and five loaves,” believing God will multiply them to accomplish more than we could ever ask or imagine through Lighthouse Swords.

Together in Christ,
Brian, Becki, and Bethany Brechin
