well, i have been in ireland for 2 weeks now so i think its about time i get a blog up. i guess that means i should have more to report on. we spent the first 5 days in dublin doing training sessions with the AIM staff that flew in to meet us here. Both squads camped just outside of dublin in a town called clondalkin. After training, our squad headed to the west coast of Ireland to a city called galway. we have been camping in rain and heavy winds everyday and are just trying to stay dry.
The church we have been partnering with is called Abundant Life. So far, our ministry here has been doing street evangelism. Each day we head to a big park in the center of town and share the gospel with those we meet. In general, the irish people are pretty turned off to the church because of all the abuses that have been surfacing. This has allowed for some great opportunities to hear their thoughts and share my own on our beliefs. A couple of the people I have met at the park so far:
-Ahmed (from Tunisia): devout Muslim I shared the gospel with and was able to pray for him after he prayed for me in arabic.
-Darius: I have run into him at the park on 3 different days, so we have been building a good friendship. Each day he asks more and more questions about Christianity and God.

Please con’t to pray for my team to be bold, to listen where to go and who to speak with for our last week in Ireland. We fly to Romania on Sept 1st.
Cheers!
Here is a video clip of our time and ministry so far.
