Sunshine

It has been lovely weather here the last few days and on Sunday I invited Ellen and Monika (short termers here working with ferrybank church) out for a picnic and drive around the copper coast. It seems as if everyone wanted to go to Tramore that day and it took 1 hr 15 to get to Tramore after church rather than the normal 20-30 mins!! anyway despite the delay we had a lovely afternoon!

Picnic on the beach

On the road

I have been travelling around a lot recently updating people on the changes in my work, team etc. It has been lovely to meet old friends and make new ones along the way and it is always very encouraging to chat to people and to hear that they are praying for me and my work.
It is also encouraging to see what God is doing in different churches and groups and it was lovely to witness 5 young people from swords church get baptized in the sea a couple of weeks ago - the first baptisms I have seen with people wearing wetsuits!! I am in Dublin and Ennis this week so I am clocking up lots of miles on my car, please pray for safety and for the car to continue going, it's getting old like myself!! Pics below are of the baptisms.
thanks for your continued prayers and support Charis x

Goodbyes


Daniel, Inge, Sam, Jesse and Rosannah all left to go back to the Netherlands on Tues morning, it was sad to say goodbye but on Monday I got to spend the day with the kids, Sam, Jesse and Rosannah!! We had a fun day and it was nice to have these fun memories before the sadness of saying goodbye. Please continue to pray for them as they settle back to life in the Netherlands
