Today we were priveledged to eat a meal with local men from a shelter. The breakfast was an Ulster Fry, luckily none of us had heart attacks. In the afternoon the young children came for holiday club and they seemed to behave much better upon knowing who we were. Needless so say having a six year old tell you to 'f off' is still quite common! After a slight break in the afternoon we prepared ourselves for Youth Alpha. This is the youth program for 10-13 year olds in the community. A fake wedding with the message of God honouring relationships was the base of what took place. However as these children have even more energy than the young ones Chaos reigned! Picture the craziest scene you have ever encountered, add a healthy dose of underage swearing, throw in cups full of melted chocolate and stir in balls being thrown everywhere... Now multiply the whole thing by seven. This is Youth Alpha! We are really drained, but really enjoyed working with the kids. they need lots of love and we are here to share the love of God with them. Any who sorry this entry is a bit short, however we are all exhausted and are doing largely the same program tomorrow. All our love
Take Flight 2012.
Keep up the good work, fight the good fight and love them where their at.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with you all, Don on Wanda's account:)
"As the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11) May God continue to bless your work as you serve in N. Ireland. He is doing His work in and through you beyond what you know or understand. May the Holy Spirit lift you on His strength in all that you do! God bless!
