Hello All,
It’s been a busy but wonderful first few days here in Ireland. We got to visit one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen—Glendalough. In my opinion, it was everything I dreamed of Ireland to be in a two hour hike—beautiful rocks, lakes, massive trees, waterfalls, rolling hills, random sheep, fog and mist. It was an amazing reminder to me of how magnificent our Creator really is and an incredible beginning to my first visit to Ireland.
On Sunday, we attended a small Presbyterian Church. It was much different than the church service I regularly attend, but really cool to see the different traditions and experience a little more of the Irish culture. Meredith arrived safely, which completed our team for the week.
We’ve completed our first couple days of Kids Club and so far everything has gone really smoothly. The kids are so excited to come each day and they really have a hunger to learn more about Jesus.
We have also had two nights of youth group, where we minister through sports and time in the Word to the teens in Athy. This group has also been very attentive and open to learning.
I love seeing the way the team has unified, and how God really uses all of our gifts, talents and personalities in different ways for one common purpose. Looking forward to see what he does these next 3 days. Thank you for your prayers and support. We could not do this without all of you!
