A Long Walk - Newcastle West, Co Limerick


The team is almost all here! Two more of our team members arrived late last night, and we're settling into our new house. This morning, we met together for a time of worship and devotions before specific preparations for our ministry. We spent about two hours delivering gospel magazines to neighborhoods in Newcastle West. It was quite a walk, so we were thankful for dry, sunny weather. We put most of the magazines in mail slots, but occasionally we met someone in their garden. The Irish people are really gracious and friendly and were happy to take the magazine. It makes us somewhat excited although still somewhat apprehensive about going door to door. Please pray for us to not be afraid but have confidence in the Lord to work through us. This evening we ate dinner together with some of the local believers--we have enjoyed getting to know them, and they will be leading us in local ministry for next several days.

We are excited about the rest of the trip, but we would appreciate your prayers for stamina and unity as some are tired in adjusting to a new environment and schedule.

Until next time!
