James is a third-year graphic design student at Dublin Institute of Technology. He is the media director at St. Mark's Church, plays bass, and enjoys cooking/eating. James will be one of two students coming with us to Connect, our annual Students for Christ Europe conference at the end of July.

James and a few other students in St. Mark's have been a tremendous blessing to Katy and me as we integrate into Irish culture. This is one of many friendships that is sure to last a lifetime.
