Today we were not committed to do any formal work. This left us the time to go and really explore the Belfast downtown. Ashley and her dad Brian were able to spend some quality time together walking around and catching up. The rest of the team were priviledged to spend the afternoon exploring the stores of Belfast. Most of these stores were quite over priced, however Primark proved to be the exception. I was able to purchase a pair of shoes and a new scarf for £4. Tragically this got Beth and Jenessa in a 'shopping mood' and resulted in much time wasting for the boys while the girls tried on clothes. In the evening everyone prepared for the big church service that we are to lead tomorrow morning. The theme is faith hope and love. Everyone has a part to play in the service and much practice was done in the evening. The team took practicing so seriously that they forced me to leave the room. (apparently I can be distracting at times) All in all we know that God will work here tomorrow and can't wait for the service.
Sincerely
Doug Hunt
Hey Guys,
ReplyDeleteHow did the church service go? We're praying that God used the team to inspire the people at Great Victoria. Did any kids or families from Sandy Row show up? Here's a great passage that is relevant to your work in Belfast.
11 The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
God bless and see you in a week!
