que awesome...

... is a unit catchphrase we use continually... so thought I´d do a quick update as my friend lent me her laptop and I thought I´d avail of the fast speed processor and post..

It is now coming to end of week 5 of sidewalk... time is flying by crazily. Last week our theme was overcoming guilt. There was some good weather (I mean a Northern Ireland´s best summer weather) toward the end of the week and so our numbers increased and from my sites on Friday there was 210 people heard the Word.. I think this is awesome, I am still awe of the potential of this ministry.

This week our teaching has been based on overcoming fear. There has been more lovely weather so I am praying for even more kids tomorrow at my sites. Please join and pray with me that the kids and adults will come, with a hunger, a real hunger for more from this life.. and that we may show them Jesus.

All is going great still, the class work has started to kick in, which is quite challenging to fit in around sidewalk. We had a test on Wednesday and have an assignment due in a week and a half.
I´d appreciate for the work as my time and brain power is very limited these days.

So it is all go go go, nothing much new, been so busy that haven´t had a chance to have much leisure... but all good.

It will be 7 weeks tomorrow that I´ve been here. It is hard to believe! Would love to hear updates from home, please and thanks.

God has really been working in my life, please pray that this will continue, that I will continue to be moulded for my Masters use.

I must go and get some rest, but thanks for all the prayers.. I can´t even express my thanks, I am so grateful.. keep it up, that would be que awesome!

time is flying by..

it is scary!.. wowza.. been a crazy few weeks!

So a quick update- We had week 2 of sidewalk sunday school.. focused on God's gifts, then week 3 was about anger, which just finished on Friday. So yea SSS has been awesome, the team are bonding more and getting more confidence. This last week we had a birthday theme which was lots of fun.. I even got a cream pie in my face!

Please pray for this weeks lesson, about guilt, that people will be released from the burden of guilt as the gospel is preached this week over the city.

Since last post there have been two indoor sessions which happen on Saturdays. Above shows praise time. We have three sessions like this each Saturday.....It is amazing to be part of it. My bus routes are good fun.

Please pray that they will increase, that we will have full buses next weekend and that I can establish a significant over the kids who need it most.

Other than this have been busy with church and various other events. It was my birthday on Friday.. halfway to 46...! had a good day, though really busy and crazy. Thanks to all who sent cards, gifts and well wishes. I was really spoiled! I had my bed decorated after midnight on Thursday and received a cake from my family.. which was amazing- american icing is goooooooooood.

Doing something with some people tomorrow to celebrate!

and the only negative thing about this post... LICE.. of the head variety. It seems it has broken out among the 30 girls.. with at least 33% contracting this horrid condition, myself included, although I only was blessed with the nits! so this weekend has been mental, everyone de-nitting their heads and washing and drying ever fabric they possess! So i made this shocking discovery on my birthday.. quite humourous..

As it is late I am going to get sleep.. but will leave you with a funny comment a kid said to me.. "how can you see? I mean your eyes are blue, so how do you see?"

I had to educate the little love about the pupil and iris.. thought it was quite cute..

anyway.. over and out

thanks for all the prayer.. I am indebted to you all.. keep seeking the Lord, and he will be found by you.
