Man, I cannot describe how amazing God was today (nor how good He’ll be tomorrow).

This morning there was breakfast in the hostel and any and all daring souls got up before 9AM to share a meal with the students and several of us got to share the gospel with people just traveling through.

Afterwards we had some small group tie-downs and reflected on what God had done yesterday.  There was at least one guy from yesterday who was going to settle things with God last night after he got home and we are waiting to hear back from him.

Later in the day some people went to the college campus and others went to the city.

Andrew took his video camera to the streets as him, Heather, and myself went out to ask… [full post]

Top of the mornin’ to you!  Things in Ireland have been looking good, but there have been challenges as well.  Here are some encouraging stories from us and some things you can be praying for.

• Many of us have been praying for people to come up and talk to us during this trip.  Today when we were waiting around to go to dinner a group of four teenagers came up to us and asked us where we were from.  This turned into a one hour conversation where all four got to hear the gospel.  This was a huge blessing and very encouraging.  You can be praying that Kerri will read the track and Bible we gave her.  We also set up a dinner date with them on Monday, which you can pray that they would show up to.

God answered some of those prayers already this evening. Our plans to play soccer for the second night in a row turned out even better than we asked. The kids didn’t want to play; they wanted to talk. We spent a couple hours building relationships with about 5 teenage, Barcelona natives, which allowed them to see the love we have toward each other that comes only from Christ. It was they who asked if we could hang out again tomorrow. Pray that those conversations will lead directly into the topic of grace,… [full post]

Witnessing to a manager of a store of gadgets and sharing the gospel with a professional ballerina were some of the highlights of our trip to Cork for Kerry Poucher and myself (Jake).

All the groups have arrived safely and all the bags except for a couple have made their way to us as well.

This morning Kerry and I were the last to arrive in Cork. We met up with the rest of the teams and went out for a day of evangelizing on the college campus.  There were just TONS of students hanging out in the common areas outside that we could not talk with everyone.  Some students were cynical, some were disrespectful, but others had a sincere desire to know how to be right with God.

Two men, who considered themselves somewhat religious, were amazed… [full post]
