Ireland…
 

 
Month one is over. I don’t know how it passed, but I knew
this year was going to fly by. Ireland is finished, and Moldova is next. We are
going from a very well off first world country, to the poorest country in
Europe- World Race, here we come…

 

Ireland was the perfect start for my team. We had
accommodations that were above any expectations, and were a total blessing.
After hearing the other teams had tents broken and hurricane winds, I knew God
had us in a dorm for a reason. Those conditions might have sent a few of my
girls home to be honest.  We had
six bedrooms, six bathrooms, laundry, full kitchen, and internet for the 30 of
us staying there. 

 

Coleraine was out main ministry location, which is located
in Northern Ireland as part of the UK, meaning technically we hit two countries
in one J.
It rained everyday, and I am no more a fan of it than I have been every year.
Rain is amazing when you are inside, watching it, or puddle jumping; not when
you are doing ministry as your blowing away with rain in your face. But we made
it, and we made it pretty well. I happen to be one of the two of us that ended
up in the doctors already, but I am well now! Have to love that they questioned
me much before examining me to see if I had Swine Flu- like I was the one to
bring it there or something…

 

We worked with the Causeway Coast Vineyard doing so many
various ministries. We hosted Destiny Island Kid’s camp, which was a fun but
tiring week of VBS. We did local outreach by washing windows and cleaning
toilets in local businesses, as well as going into the low income area giving
out light bulbs. Pray walks, ATLs (Ask The Lord), and squad worship were among
normal living. We also were able to be apart of something known as Healing on
the Streetz. We saw legs grow, vision healed, backs straighten all right in
front of our eyes. While I am still a bit bewildered by it all, it is a true
test of faith. 

 
 While in N. Ireland, we had a chance to see a few coastal things, including Giant’s Causeway. Minus the horrible wind and rain, it was gorgeous and a memory to take in forever! Here are a few pictures to show the beauty…

 

God is doing a work in Coleraine, and I can’t wait to see
what happens next! Thank you for all your prayers and support and I hope to be
able to update you soon (willing there is internet and power somewhere- if not,
see you in a month)
