House Hunting update

As you know I was to go to Tramore today to see a house but unfortunately I got a phone call on Monday to say the house was gone already, I really liked the look of the house online but it was obviously not meant to be but I am a bit sad about it :-( I only got back from the North of Ireland yesterday so I am happy to be at home today to do a bit of housework and to look for more houses online....the search continues!!
I had a great time up north speaking at the Beach Missions preparation evening on Friday night, the Coffee with Charis fundraiser on Saturday and then the European Christian Mission prayer meeting in Dunmurry on Monday night. I also got to spend time with my brother and his family and to play with my nephew!

Thanks

Thanks to Jenni and Robert and to everyone who came to the Coffee with Charis fundraiser on saturday. Jenni baked beautiful cakes as did Robert's mother. The fundraiser was a great success and we raised £430! Thanks to EVERYONE for their generosity and special thanks to Jenni.

House hunting update

Just to let you know I did see a few houses in Tramore last Monday and I am going down again this coming wed to see a few more, I hope to pick one at that stage and then the job of packing starts!! thanks for the continued prayers as I decided what house to pick

Going North

This weekend I am heading up North to speak at a few meetings and to see friends and family
Friday: I will speak at the United Beach Missions preparation and prayer evening (I used to be on beach teams in Tramore alot back when I was young)
Saturday: Jenni and Robert are hosting the coffee with Charis findraiser
Monday: I will speak at the Dunmurry E.C.M prayer meeting

Please pray for these meetings that I will speak clearly and that many will want to pray for the work of E.C.M in Tramore and beyond and that some might be led to join my support team too.

House hunting

I am down in Tramore this weekend and among other things I thought I would have a look at a few places to live when I was here, I saw 2 places on Friday one was too small and the other was too old. I hope to see some more tomorrow before I leave Tramore but things seem to be a bit more laid back down here so I am not sure I will mange to see anything so quickly. I leave my house in Dublin the end July and as this is very soon I am not sure if I will have a place to move into by then or the time to look for somewhere so I am thinking through the options such as putting my stuff into storage and taking a bit longer to find a place to live.Please pray for me as I think think through my move and the practical details involved.

Wet and Windy Tramore

Hi all I am down in Tramore this weekend visiting the team here (and having lots of nice dinners), discussing plans for my move and my role, visiting the church and looking at some houses (so it will be a busy weekend). The weather is dreadful here at the moment very very wet and windy but nevertheless it is great to be down meeting, greeting, seeing, eating and talking.

Update from Charis

Hi all, sorry it has been a few weeks since I last posted anything on here. I was away for a few weeks on holiday with my mum, I am back home now and trying to catch up on everything.
   Thanks so much to those who have been in touch recently wanting to support me in prayer and financially because of your generosity I am now half way towards the total finances needed for my move, thanks SO much! My church Grosvenor Baptist church also took me on as church missionary which is GREAT too.
   My hand is nearly better but is still not 100%. I am speaking in Douglas Baptist church this Sunday 10th and then the following weekend 15th-17th I am going down to Tramore for the weekend to meet the team I hope to work with and to get some things sorted before I start. Then the next weekend 22nd -25th I am up North as my friends Jenni and Robert are hosting a coffee morning for me on Sat 23rd and then I am speaking at an ECM prayer meeting on Monday 25th in Dunmurry I am also starting to think about packing up my house and moving so there is lots to do! Please pray for me as I am so busy over the next few weeks, thanks Charis x
