Hi, this is Callie from Louisiana writing...
We went to the Carolans for dinner on Wednesday night. They served us a delicious meal. After a great time of fellowship Grace shared her testimony with the team. It was especially encouraging to the team; she explained how she was saved because of the faithfulness of a young man doing door-to-door ministry.
We left Shankill on Thursday morning and headed towards Newcastle West. We made a stop in Bunratty that Ron Hampton nicely planned out for us. We had a guided tour of Bunratty Castle, and we were able to learn and see a little of Irish culture. After we saw the castle we got back on the road. The Burnetts prepared an amzing dinner for us that night. It was exciting for us to meet Colin and Natalie because we'll be spending a lot of our time with them this week.
Following dinner we went to a prayer meeting with Newcastle West Bible Fellowship, which is now meeting at the Desmond Complex (community center). We enjoyed songs of praise, Bible teaching, and a time of prayer. We were able to meet many of the brothers and sisters from the assembly. We're excited to be here and ready to start our door-to-door evangelism.
On Friday morning we sang and had a devotional. It was great to start the day off reading God's word together. Colin and Andy Shanks also briefed us on our goals and plans for the week. Next, we split up and delivered "Ireland 4 You" magazines to different areas of the town. We took a break for lunch and delivered more magazines until dinner time.
Gregor and Marta Rekowski from the Newcastle West Bible Fellowship invited us for dinner and afterwards we watched "The Privileged Planet."
