Kendra & Randal Baird

The journey for Randal and Kendra began in 2001 where they served as Children's Pastors in Southwest Houston. Kendra was also serving as co-director for a School of Fine Arts Team. It was on a trip with the school where God opened the doors to the next journey in Ireland. God spoke the word "home" into Randal's heart on a Mission's trip in 2006. Their family then began a journey of seeking God and His timing.

Since then, God has opened doors for the Baird Family to live in Ireland three times with the purpose of Church Planting and Supporting the National Church. They served as Missionary Associates to Limerick, Ireland where they supported many ministry areas including Life Groups, Youth, Kids, Administration and Connect.

In the summer of 2019, Hope Church in Ennis, Ireland had it's first service. Hope Church Ennis exists "to bring hope to all." After nearly 5 years, God has put on their hearts to begin praying for a 2nd church in the West of Ireland. 

Randal and Kendra also began a ministry for youth called Hope Youth which has been running for 6 years. They have had the opportunity to share the love of God with many youth, and provide a place where they can meet weekly with youth services, special events, worship nights and more. Another ministry that was started was a Kids Club that met after school weekly in an indoor playplace called FunKidz Klub. This business has been an open door for ministry to use for special events, outreaches, and camps.

The Baird Family is excited about the journey ahead that God has already planned out. They recently received Dual Citizenship status in Ireland which will allow them to continue serving this beautiful country by God's grace and provision.
