Yesterday was our tourist day and we headed to the beautiful gardens of Powerscort and to the ancient monasitic site of Glendalough. Both sites were incredible. The team was able to hike and enjoy the majestic creation in picture perfect weather. We returned to Dublin for pizza at the Beckers and then had a greet team time of worship, sharing and prayer. We ended our night with a rousing table quiz. Thankfully there were three Grace College interns here to help us as the Lititz representatives were struggling!
Today was a full day of final planning for next weeks kids camp. The students divided and conquered. Some worked on music, some worked on crafts, some on timeing and skits...there was lots to do. We also found lots of opportunities to clean up the property around the church as an encouragement to the church, and as a testimony to the neighbors.
Today ended with a walk around some other parts of the city, and an ice cream treat! Magnum bars just taste so much better in Europe!
Thanks for your continued prayers. God continues to work in and through our team. Students have been proactively engaging in conversations with people as we go along. God also continues to break some of our hearts for this dark city. We are very anxious to love on the kids next week. We are also excited to spend time with the folks from Crossroads Church tomorrow evening!
Side note: sorry no pictures. We are trying to make arrangements to post some next week!
