More than 388 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. 1 in 7 Christians are persecuted worldwide 1 in 5 Christians are persecuted in Africa 2 in 5 Christians are persecuted in Asia Let’s continually encourage each other to be in prayer for brothers and sisters around the world who are being slaughtered, imprisoned and suffering because of their faith. Please visit @IDOP @Open Doors @The Voice of the Martyrs @Good Call Ministries to learn about the work of our dear friend, @Joseph Bonderanko, the subject of the book, KGB’s Most Wanted, and our dear friends at @FreeBurmaRangers, @AngelMinistries, @AEBM, @HIO Ministries, @TimothyProject and also @Hardwired Global whose mission and powerful work protects the freedom of conscience and belief for all people worldwide. God bless you! “Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are badly treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.” Hebrews 13:3

These verses of Scripture bring comfort. Today marks three years since the barbaric slaughter of October 7. Please pray for the families and friends of the precious people who were massacred. Please pray for healing and peace for the survivors. This world is busted and broken. Christians are being massacred in Nigeria, Uyghur Muslims are being tortured and killed in China, the citizens of Burma and Iran are being slaughtered by their own government. Persecution is escalating globally. Please pray. Racism of every kind, bigotry and antisemitism is not only evil, it’s ignorant and stupid. The throne of God is made up of every tongue, tribe and nation. That is good news! John 3:16

Excited to share that Ireland Founders Circle hosted our very first IFC Bridge event in Fort Myers, FL. We had the pleasure of meeting with brilliant founders who made it through our IFC rubric, which provides an opportunity for these amazing entrepreneurs to pitch their company to serious investors who help scale businesses to the next level. Congratulations to everyone in attendance and we look forward to hosting many more as we grow this amazing platform! IrelandFoundersCircle.com

On a morning walk I stumbled upon this stone! It looks like a beautiful heart with a little piece broken off. This makes me think of a beautifully tender heart that was hurt. Years ago, during a difficult time, someone gave me advice I declined. This person said I needed to build callouses on my heart to prevent being hurt again. I told him I could never do that because if I can’t feel pain, I can’t feel love and joy. Love and joy is worth any pain.❤️ “The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” 1 John 4:8 “Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26

Gathering lettuce for Sunday dinner at Mom’s!

The mutual benefits of adopting a precious pet are incalculable! Every shelter pet deserves the chance to find a forever home. On @RememberMeThursday, let’s shine a light on pet adoption and help orphan pets around the world.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day 💖

Happy Labor Day to all! So grateful for my most amazing Executive Family Team at Kathy Ireland Brands! So proud to work with my son, Erik Ireland Olsen, Larry Childers and Noah Childers. Happy Labor Day to all the moms and dads out there who honor the responsibility and blessing of raising a family! From giving birth to the hard labor of adoption, raising children is one of the most difficult and rewarding jobs ever. There is a new proposal to give tax credits to stay at home moms or dads! How much do you believe this priceless work is worth?

End of summer roadtrip! Beautiful adventure!

Happy 38th Anniversary to my most amazing husband!!! Greg, thank you for loving me and staying by my side no matter what! Life with you is an awesome adventure! Our secret to our lasting love is no secret at all. It’s God’s design. He is at the center of our marriage and it is He who equips us to see each other through His eyes. My respect and love for you is bigger than life! It’s a privilege to experience God working through you in such powerful ways! Your character, courage and conviction are beautiful! I love you always, Your forever and only First Mate❤️ “…I found him whom my soul loves…” Song of Solomon 3:4
