Here is the latest from the Northern Ireland Team...they have three ministries as part of their schedule now after beginning with two. Praise the Lord for opening new avenues for ministry! Please continue to pray for the team as they tell people there about Jesus:
Hi everyone,
We have added a third ministry to our ministries during the week. With this third ministry, we literally have no time during the day. We wake up, eat, rush off to the ministry site, rush back, sometimes coming in late for lunch....rush back out for the second ministry site, usually late getting there, come back for tea time, and we usually have about a half hour before we have to eat. And then we eat and have about a half hour before our evening ministry.
The ministry that God provided in addition to the scheduled ministry is to some rougher, more difficult kids. Yesterday in particular we saw a lot of opposition, and we were being made fun of a bit, and there were lots of distractions while we were presenting the Gospel. We prayed lots about today's ministry, and it was much better. Some of the same trouble makers were there, but for some reason they sat quiet and listened intently, and even got involved with the illusion. Praise God for answered prayers. We even had several professions of faith today!
We are having a Bar-B-Q with the group that we have been spending the most time with. Hopefully the parents will come out for it, and we will be able to share the Gospel with all of them.
Thank you for sending us here. It has been very good for all of us!
