Team Dublin
Last night the team spent the evening with some travellers, a nomadic Irish people similar to gypsies. Two of them made professions of salvation. One of them, Gary, was especially keen. “He asked some really pointed questions, like how can a person be born twice” said team leader Tim Hood. Please pray for Gary and the other traveler, whose name we plan to post later.

The team did door-to-door work for the first time today. They met a young girl named Ciara, age 19, on the doors and brought her with them for dinner this evening. Please pray for her.

Tim says they have distributed 1,000 Bibles on the doors over the past two days. They have held two successful kids clubs as well.

Team Newcastle West
We finished magazine distribution this morning for the designated neighbourhoods. We followed up with some door-to-door work this afternoon but few people were home. Still some good conversations were had.

After the unwelcome reception we received at the neighbourhood where we held the kids club yesterday, we moved to a new neighbourhood where parents were keen to have us. It went very well and the kids were all unsaved, as far as we know and happy to be there. Please pray for Amy Deligdisch as she co-ordinates the kids club efforts again tomorrow and Thursday. Pray the teaching may lead to the salvation of children and parents.

Updates from Team Dublin and Team Waterford coming shortly!

Team Newcastle West
This morning we delivered Christian magazines on the doors.

Our kids club went well this afternoon though there were few unsaved children there. Near the end of our session, two women approached and told our missionary hosts that the neighbourhood was a private estate and we were not welcome. We will go to a new estate tomorrow. Please pray we will get unsaved children and their parents for the coming kids clubs (tomorrow through Thursday). Amy Deligdisch, our Child Evangelism Fellowship expert on the team, organized the event and assigned us our various roles.

Our missionary hosts took us up into the rolling hills around Newcastle West for a short evening hike. We had opportunity to witness to several men we met along the path.
