Another week goes by

Well another week has gone by here down in Cork and what a great week it has been. We have had great meetings with church leaders, youth leaders and college students and are slowly but surely getting the bigger picture of what is happening and what is not happening here in ministry in Cork. It has been an eye opener but with that has brought excitement as we wait and see what God does. Many more doors have opened and we are loving the networking part at the moment.

In other news our work for Grace is well under the way and this week confirmed 6 more leaders which we have taken on to train making the total to be 12 leaders that we will train up over the next while. We had our first Grace youth leaders meeting on thursday night and we were very encouraged by it. Not everyone could make it but you will see who was there in the photo below. There is a great sense of excitement and challenges ahead but we have a GREAT group to do it with. We also had youth group last night at Grace and had a great time of fun with the teens and we had two of the new youth leaders there as well. It is exciting times and God has been so gracious by going ahead of us the whole time.

We have a meeting with Lee Valley Church (Baptist church) next week to talk about the possibility of working for them in training leaders as well and building up a college group. We are also in the process of dreaming & recruiting for a college group to start here in Cork that will just be for anyone from any church. So if you haven't sensed is already we are quite excited as to what is unfolding before us but as always it is never that simple as we still wait for a buyer for the house. We have an open viewing in our house today again from 1-2 so hopefully/God willing we will get a buyer in time. We'll update you again soon & will see some of you back in Dublin next week. We get back on the 18th.
