Just a few updates. Since we have been here in Northern Ireland we have done many different ministries. Just since last Saturday we helped with service at the church. Causeway Coast Vineyard Church is a wonderful church. They do many outreach programs in the community. After church we handed out food to people that were in need. The church is given food every week that is close to their expiration date. The food flies off their shelves as people from the community come to be gather goods. It was great to experience this blessing to the community. Other various outreaches during this past week have been washing windows, lolly pop give-a-ways, belief surveys in the town center, light bulb give-a-ways, toilet cleanings in businesses, and trash pick up. Last night we did a prayer walk around the town from 8 to 10. Town pretty much closes down at 5 so it was nice to not be distracted by anyone and lay hands on the buildings. In all the good deeds we do our only hope is to spread the love of Jesus and give hope to the locals of this town. I think my favorite thing was Sunday and Monday night. A guy named Mark came and gave us a lecture on healing. He leads up the healing ministry for the church. Sunday night was all about the ministry but Monday he dove right in. After telling us all the details and coaching us through a prayer he let us free. By the end of the night we were praying for teammates to be healed and God was answering. God healed three girls from scoliosis and stretched two legs. This is just a part of life for us now. God really is the same God he was 2000 years ago.
On Wednesday Joloho had the day off. We jumped on a bus and headed to the beach. Since we are in Ireland it wasn’t exactly sun tanning weather, but we still had lots of fun. The ocean water crashing against the rocks with the lush green hills in the background is definitely a sight to see. Gods art work is amazing.
Yesterday we found out our next destination site and ministry. We will not be going to Romania but we will be going to Moldova. I have no idea where that even is, but I am siked. The main focus will be preventing Human Trafficking by ministering to young adults between the ages of 13 and 23 in a transitional housing/orphanage program. We are really excited for this opportunity to work with these kids. In Moldova, it is real common for the girls to be sold into trafficking and the guys to end up in jail right out of high school.
We only have a few more days left here in Ireland but it is a full schedule right up until we leave. Our team has really been stretched and we have learned a lot about each other. Living in constant community can be a hard thing but I think we have done a great job adapting. Please continue to pray for my team to seek Gods will for our lives.
We are trying to get a video together so please check back soon. Also we dont know how accessible internet will be next month. Please be patient.
