Here are some updates I’ve gotten today from our different teams here in Northern Ireland.
Lisa writes….keep us in ur prayers. we had kids break into the church where we are staying at last nite when we went out (it was our nite off otherwise we would have been there) 2 kids broke in thru an already cracked skylite and stole $ from 3 ppl and hid it sumwhere. it was scary and some other kids found it in the estate but still… it was a definite violation of our stuff and they had to call the cops and file a report and we were up till 2 am and had to get up at 8 for kids klub. tuff. one kid won’t admit to it. the other one readily gives up the info. the other kids that were there are admitting to everyone that they knew the 2 did it. and ya that’s the current low down. ttyl ilysm miss u guys!lisa bee
Jon also checks in… I’m over here in Ballymena. Were doin great over here, Were running a holiday club club for the kids in a church and their friends. Our job is to get the youth in the church group excited so that after we leave they are still working. We set up a room so that it looks really cool. we got an army cargo net to hang from the ceiling. DJ equipment a stage and a video projector for visual stuff. and tables and a coffebar and a tuck shop for where the kids sit. I got to go so I’ll look forward to hearing from you guys and how you’re all doin. We’ve been really successful in what we’ve been trying to do.
Dawn posted on the LF site… Still having fun here in N.I. We had only our 3rd rainy day today. We’ve been here for 11 days and it’s been warm. Yay!
Anyway – God has been working in the young people here in Ballyclare. Today we were supposed to go to a different estate, Rashee, to hang out with some kids. However, last night at the youth drop in, there were two girls there from the other estate, Grange, that were seeking and questioning us about God. They were asking so many questions and over and over again. I asked the one girl if she was ready to make a decision and she wasnt. So, today it rained and so we didn’t have the club at Rashee, but we invited those kids and the Grange kids to the church to hang out, play video games, pool, ping pong and football. So, the two girls ended up coming from the Grange estate. They wouldn’t have been there if we went to Rashee. They both made decisions to become Christians. They poured out their hearts and broke down with Jess and Lyns. It was an awesome day – definately an encouragement. Also, David has been hanging out with us. He is the one who got saved on Tues. You can totally already see a change in him. He is happy and doesn’t have that angry, tough guy attitude. Praise God! He is pretty influencial with his friends too.
We are really excited! Please keep praying. Love and miss you!
