This week we have had friends from Ireland come visit us which has been great. They were with us for our weekly young-hope prayer and worship time and they shared with us the exciting things that they are involved in at the moment. God has given them the privilege of taking groups of people from Ireland to share his truth and hope with child soldiers in Uganda and young teenage girls in prison in Belarus. It was amazing to hear their stories of how God is really moving in these people who live in such awful situations and how he can actually use us in places and situations which seem so hopeless to us.

Last Friday and Saturday we also got to spend time with a youth group from Minnesota. We took them downtown to feed and talk to the homeless and i was so encouraged by  their desire to show Jesus' love to everyone we came in contact with ...it was brilliant, they were nearly fighting over who got to pray for the homeless people we met!
