Mission Conference

I am in Newcastle County Down for a few days at an ECM mission conference. Wednesday to Friday is missionaries and fri eve till sun eve is missionaries and supporters and friends. Newcastle is a seaside town at the foot of the mourne mountains it is a beautiful location and where we are staying the sea is across the road. I drove here though the mountains it was so beautiful as the sun was shining and the mountains and the fields were covered in snow, I would have loved to stop for a picture but there was no where to pull in. I traveled up from Cork where i was for a couple of days and mum will come up on fri to join the conference for the weekend. I only know a few of the missionaries and some of the mission staff so there are alot of new faces and names to learn (and I am bad with both), it will be good to get to know more of the missionaries and some of the mission staff too. Over the weekend there is a celebration for 50 years of ECM in Ireland and it will be good to learn more about the mission and it's beginnings too.  Please pray we have a good conference and that we rest, learn and go away encouraged too.
