Thursday June 1 Len Carolan led our devotions on Luke 15. We talked about how both sons just wanted the father for his things, not just him, and yet the father loved them and wanted a relationship with them.
In the morning the girls helped with Moms and Tots, a program that Shankill Bible Church puts on. They were hard at work making toast for the kiddos and tea/coffee for the moms and minders. They were a great help while Heidi was glad to be back with the people and ministries she works with. While the girls were involved with this Luke went door-to-door with Liam, once of the elders of the church. They had a couple of interesting conversations, so it was a nice time.
Over the afternoon the team got the privilege of getting to know local legend Danny Gleeson, and help Heidi celebrate his birthday with a surprise lunch. Without missing a beat Danny tricked Luke into thinking he walked up to the wrong house, so everyone had a good laugh.
In the evening, we had youth group with the kids from the area. During the “connect” (lesson) time, each of the team members shared how we first connected with God and how we came to be in Ireland. The kids were really interested to hear and asked questions about reading the Bible and our relationships with God. This might have been because we handed out jolly ranchers just before and they were quiet with a mouthful of American sweets. It was a great night, and everyone got a lot out of it.
