Today the team was on O’Connell Street, Dublin’s main downtown thoroughfare, for street preaching and tract distribution. They handed out upwards of 500 tracts. “Everyone on the team had lots of opportunity to talk to different ones who were quite keen,” said leader Tim Hood.
One man to pray for is Peter. Joan Plympton gave him a tract. He said he had no problem understanding that he was a sinner. “He said, ‘I know I need to get right with God,’” said Tim. When Tim asked him if he read the Bible, Peter pulled out a New Testament and said he had just started reading it. Tim explained what he needed to do to be saved and felt he was quite close to the Kingdom.
Three young teenagers, Aoife, Nairead, Nianh, were also very interested in the gospel that was being preached. Please pray for them as they read the literature given to them.

James is 77 years old. The older he gets, he finds himself thinking more about spiritual things. Amy Deligdisch, teamed with Colin Burnett, spoke with him on the doors today in Newcastle West. He seemed to understand that he was a sinner. “You’ve really given me something to think about,” he said as they finished.
“It was just really exciting because we didn’t go in circles and he really came to an understanding,” said Amy. Please pray for him as he reads over the magazine they left him.
Other people to pray for include a Muslim man spoken to by Brian Aggett and Jewel Hobbs. Brian was thankful for an Arabic article in the magazine they were distributing. “What would have been a very difficult conversation was made very easy,” said Brian. “He translated it aloud for me.”
Pray for Christine, a woman met by Brian Kramer and Kevin Bibelhausen, who had many questions about why God allows suffering. She has lost her husband, granddaughter and others close to her in the last year and a half.
