Dear friends,

Thanks for all those who joined us in praying for the outreach in Waterford over this past week. We have been greatly encouraged by the work the TnT team has done and for the responses we had.

Despite some wet days, we were able to distribute over 7000 "4YOU" magazines, an Irish evangelistic publication. We had two days of street work with the team doing some sketch board preaching, some singing, and engaging people in conversation. Several groups of school students listened well to messages and took away CDs and literature. One man, Johnny, seemed very open and spoke with one of the team for nearly an hour. We have his number and will be following up with him. Another couple of young men, Darren and Tony, had a good conversation with Tim Hood for about 30 minutes and were asking some good questions. On Sunday evening at the gospel meeting, there was a Catholic priest who came in and listened well to the message, taking notes, and asked a few questions afterwards. A few years ago this same man had attended a Postal Bible School prize-giving in the same hotel, where he had done the same. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see him trusting in Christ alone for salvation?

Due to the weather, we were only able to do door-to-door work on two afternoons but the gospel was faithfully shared with a good number of people during these times. A young couple spoke with us for over an hour, asking lots of questions. A Polish man invited two of the young people in for a cup of tea and they had an extended discussion with him about how we got the Bible and the reliability of Scripture. Another lady said that she was interested in spiritual things but was very distracted by the child she was minding. Others claimed to be atheists and yet spoke at length with the team. Others were clearly antagonistic and many apathetic.

We are conscious that only eternity will reveal what God is doing in the lives of those who heard the Word, but we do appreciate your interest in the work of the Lord here.

The team moved on this morning and will have another week of ministry in the Dublin area, including distribution of Jim McCarthy's booklet on the Mass at the 50th International Eucharistic Congress.

Over the next week or so my major concern will be preparing the Scripture calendar for next year. Two articles will need to be written and photos and verses chosen. Last year this calendar was used by 14 assemblies in Ireland with a total of 50,000 copies printed. Please pray that God will be pleased to use this for His glory also.

In Christ,

David & Beth Wilson, Waterford
