The Latest...

Today’s speaking with the Grace church I feel went very well as we shared from Psalm 96 challenging on God's Mission for His People. Next Sunday we head up to Balbriggan to do the same. Last Wednesday’s cell was a great blessing as three Brazilians attended who had not been before moving the total of students to 11 (5 who were Brazilian) present that evening, and we were missing 3-4 regular attenders as well. The gospel was shared and I truly believe the Spirit was moving in hearts.

Saturday a week ago was our West Donnycarney Area Clean-up of which I was in charge of for our road (via my new role of being the rep for our road on the Residents Committee). With bags and gloves ready to distribute God used this opportunity for me and the boys to meet several neighbors we had yet to meet who live on the western side of Belton Park Gardens. It also deepened the friendships with the neighbors on our side of the road we knew already. We also had a much better turnout for our road this year than last which was great. Because of the good turnout several positive comments and thank-yous from neighbors were shared for our willingness to lead the charge. I am certain that taking on this role for our road in the community is bringing with it the respect of our neighbors as many of them called over (dropped by) this past week to see Andrea and the baby. We also had a few school parents drop by as well.  It’s quite amazing how God is using the arrival of little Kate and being our Road Representative in the community to continue to build and strengthen Kingdom gospel-centered relationships within our circle of influence.

This coming week will be another busy week as we have a couple coffee meetings in town, a third driver’s lesson for me (in preparation for my actual test), and visits to Galway, the Cliffs, and Scotland with Andrea’s parents.  

Thank you for praying & encouraging.

P.S. A great day to be a ‘ Dubliner’ as the Dubs defeated Wexford in the Leinster GAA Football Championship, and Padraig Harrington, another Dubliner, won the British Open for the second year in a row.
