Dan Meacham reports on day 2
Today the team had its first training session. This consisted of the team learning the guidelines, rules and how to deal with special scenarios. We then had free time during which Mr. Savidge took to sharpen his British driving skills (keep the group in prayer for that!). Certain teammates whet on a nature photography hike in the large dunes area behind Murlough House. We saw seals and sea millipedes (which are just one of the most disgusting things ever). Finally the day ended with tea time then some more training and devotion time. It has such a breathtakingly amazing day to see some of God's creation throughout the scenery.
Jack: keep us in prayer as we continue to prepare for the coming week. We have enjoyed exploring the dunes and the moops (Seinfeld fans know what that means). They are just awesome although I can't help thinking this area would make an awesome links golf course. Today we learned a lot about working with children and about the particular issues in ministering to both Protestant and Catholic young people in Northern Ireland. I got a little bit practice driving the mini bus on the left side of the road (it's a manual too, so I'm shifting with my left hand and first gear is away from me. My brain will be working overtime.). Tomorrow we explore a little bit in Belfast. God bless, keep us in prayer and keep the comments coming.
So glad to hear that you are enjoying God's creation and hearing it speak to you of him! Also, glad to see you have your humor and bravery in tact :) ! Praying for you all as you continue to prepare for the ministry to come - seek God, join him where he is working - he already has prepared each and every moment I'm confident of that. Special kudos to Pascal - Bell, Carl and I missed you as we explored the Magic Gardens in South Philly today. Praying Ephesians 3:14-21 for all.
