Tales from Tramore
UPDATE
Hi all, just a note to say hi and to update you on my news. I started work here in Tramore with European Christian Mission in January, so I have been in the job for just 2 ½ months! I raised around 85% of my support and was given the go ahead to start, please continue to pray God will provide ALL my needs. For the moment I have been concentrating on a kid’s club (King’s Kids) that I am leading on a Wednesday afternoon. I am also teaching in Sunday school and getting to know people in the church and on the team too. I am now starting to make plans for the summer, 5 day clubs etc. I have had several visitors come to see me in my new home and it has been great to see them and explore the area together. In other personal news my grandpa turned 90 in March (mum and I were at his party), and my sister who has been away for the last 6 months will be home for a few weeks in April so it will be good to see her. Thanks for your continued support and prayers love Charis xx
Commissioning
It
was lovely to be back in my church, Grosvenor road Baptist church on the 13th
January for my commissioning service. It was great to see many church friends
and supporters and to be sent out into the mission field from my church. Many supporters stayed for a lunch after
church, thanks to Pauline and Arthur Travers for organising the lunch and to
those who helped serve and wash up too! Thanks also to those who traveled a
distance to be there such as Avril and Dave, mum, Jenni and Robert,
Charlie and Miriam and Jonathan, Nicola, David and Sarah.

News Just in:
My Landlord told me that he and his family have to come back to Ireland and so I need to move out of the house before June. I am upset that I have to move again (the 3rd time in 1 year). I know it is going to be difficult and stressful to find somewhere to move to and then I have to pack and move again before June. Please pray for me at this time and for this situation
ECM Conference
I will be at my first mission conference in Newcastle from the 3rd-7th April.
The first few days will just be the missionaries and then from Fri 5th
others (friends and supporters) will join us for updates and a celebration of
50 years of the mission in Ireland
King’s Kids (kid’s club)
We have been
studying the life of David this term and we have had between 6 and 18 kids
coming each week. Please pray for more non-church kids to come along more
consistently. As the weather gets better and athletics starts back up, please pray
the kids will continue to come to club or that we will have wisdom to know what
to do instead. Please pray for me as I try and pitch the teaching at the right
level, we have an age range between 5 -11. Please pray for more helpers too as
we will be loosing some key people soon.
Bookings
If you would like
me to come and speak at your church, ladies group, small group, coffee morning
etc please let me know and I would LOVE to come and speak about my work and the
mission. Please get in touch and we will arrange a date.
