Excited

Why? Cause God is faithful even though we are not. Recently we felt God telling us not to go looking for ministry, that He would bring people into our path instead. The result is the Lord is giving us very exciting ideas about new ministry opportunities for us here in Cork. Linda and I have for a long time been disatisified with the status quo. The culmination of this is a holy discontent with doing the same old thing, so here's to new things.

Also it has been a joy to see the Lord drawing great friends of ours to himself recently. Their hunger for something more has been an insparation to us and yet more confirmation of what God has been saying about Church. It is great to see new believers encountering God and seeing Him moving in their lives is refreshing for an old timer like me.

The youth group at Lee Valley is going from strength to strength with a paring with another group coming in the Autumn, things are looking promising here.

Finally we are blessed to see one of our own, stan following in our footsteps by getting a youthwork job in Raheny. May he go onto greater things than us. Please continue to pray for us for strength as this is a time of sowing and reaping, exciting but tiring. Praise to the one who justifies us. here is to being in His hands.
