I just wanted to thank all of you who have been following our blog for the past month! Our debrief was a great time of over-view and sharing how we personally experienced God on this trip. We are called to serve with love and I've been so encouraged by the people we worked with (Jenny at Friendship House, Johnny at Trojan Horse, Tony at Lifeline) and their passion for their ministry. It is so evident that God is working in and through them!
As a leader I was encouraged by the way the team members stepped out of their comfort zone and would spread out in a group of young people, children, seniors and men from the hostel and talk and simply "be" with these people. Although we did alot of planning and practising of skits, testimonies and sharing, the most valuable time was just connecting with them and showing love. Our team is full of fun and laughter and I know that as outsiders watched our group, the joy of the Lord was so evident. Each individual was hand-picked by God for this experience in Northern Ireland and I pray that they will be blessed even as they are home processing what they have been through and learned. What an exciting way to begin this next chapter of their lives after high school!
Romans 8:28 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.'
