This is where I stay.

This is where I go.

This is what I eat.

So I'm doing ok here in Ireland. For real, I do love it here, but not primarily because of these material things. I love the people I'm with (photos of them to come) and that helps. But most of all, I love doing the work of the Lord. It hasn't been all fun and games. I have walked around in New Ross and Wexford and tried to build relationships with people, especially young people, in pubs and shops and playing music on the street. Please pray for the Spirit's guidance as I pursue friendships with Laura, the bartender at O'Brien's pub, Petravich the Romanian immigrant street accordion player and the gaelic football player who practices down the road (I didn't catch his name). Sometimes there is no opportunity to build a relationship, so I tell these people about our church and ask them what they think about Jesus. I'm not really used to being this bold, but God has given me strength. Most people don't respond too enthusiastically. Still, I pray, and I would ask you to pray, that these people think about their need for a Savior and read the material Grace Church has published. Also, Tom (previously mentioned) is really hungry for the Word of God, so pray for our meetings as we go through the gospel of John. God is building and will continue to build His Church! Thank you all!
