Please PRAY for the team and all the evangelistic outreach taking place in Ireland over the next four weeks. Remember: “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.”

The Lord has blessed us with 8 team members who have decided to serve the Lord and be a witness for Him in Ireland. This means we will have only one team that will work in three different areas of the country: Newcastle West, Co Limerick (May 24-30); Waterford (May 31-June 6); and Shankill, Co Dublin (June 7-14). They will be working with other national believers, workers and missionaries who are experienced in evangelism and ministering the Word. For everyone but especially our first-timers fear will give way to faith and this "trusting the Lord" will be the key to what is accomplished for eternity. Please pray for this year's team members: Tim Hood, BC*; Linda Hood, BC; Jerry Hood, BC; Jen NyGaard, MN**; Ben Daniel, AB; Nathan Bolton, ON; Kassi Juhlke, ON; and Bethany Scheer, IA (* Team Leader; ** Asst Team Leader). Please pray for the following 1st generation assemblies the TnT Team will be ministering with and/or to: Shankill Bible Church, Co Dublin; Waterford Christian Assembly, Co Waterford; and Newcastle West Bible Fellowship, Co Limerick Please pray for the following missionaries the TnT Teams will be working with: Frank & Grace Carolan, Co Dublin; Penny DeFouw, Co Dublin; Colin & Natalie Burnett, Co Limerick; Andrew & Gillian Shanks, Co Limerick; David & Beth Wilson, Co Waterford; Jim & Kathy Moriarity, Co Wicklow; and Garnet & Gwen Cooney, Co Cork.

Hello from Dublin! The TnT team is almost all here! Since the 21st the team members have been arriving; Nathan Bolton arriving on Monday morning, Tim, Linda and Jerry Hood arriving Monday evening. Then Bethany Scheer and Kassandra Juhlke arrived Tuesday morning and Ben Daniel arrived that evening. These two days were spent mostly getting resources and training organized and recovering from sleep deprivation and jet-lag though both evenings team members experienced the hospitality of local Irish believers. Wednesday (today) was the beginning of the real orientation and introduction to public evangelism, with strong emphasis on door-to-door, paint-board and personal testimony. Jim Moriarity helped Tim run scenarios with the team and explain some of the possible difficulties the team will encounter. The team seemed to keep up despite still being tired from the traveling and the time changes. Ben actually had a chance to witness to an unbeliever while practicing paint-board; he only found out after finishing that she was not a Christian! That was a joy, blessing an encouragement so early on. Again tonight the team experienced the hospitality and fellowship of the believers here in Shankill, and it was a marvelous way to finish off the 3 days of orientation and preparation. Tomorrow morning the team leaves early for New Castle West. On the way they will be picking up the final member of the team, Jen Nygaard, who arrives at Dublin airport in the early morning. From there the team will continue on to NCW and will be stopping in Bunratty to experience some Irish history. The weather has continued held true to it's forecast, being pleasant and sunny with temperatures in the mid-late teens (Degrees Celsius), the team is hoping for this weather to continue just a little longer. Please keep the team members in prayer, and the continued work here in Ireland; both by the local believers and outreaches. So far the team has been staying at Shankill Bible Church's facility with Frank Carolan arranging most of the logistics. Keep in prayer also, all the men and women who make TnT possible and arrange all the logistics of this work. In the Lord TnTTeams
