just did a bit of a make over, hope you like the new look,
;)
yo
just a short one, got down to dublin and checked out my flat to be which is really cool, has loads of room and is in a proper old house with character etc.
also met a guy Phil who lives and works and is starting to go to a cool church down there. he works for the salvation army which is cool cause i would like to maybe get involved... i threw a couple of euro in a homeless guys cup but felt it was more for my conscience than because i actually cared about him...

ps if you fancy some legally free house music checkout audio families i saw a sticker for it in the uber-cool DC10 club in ibiza and there are 3 free mix cds available.

also found tibal generation which is a cool network of churchy stuff in club culture, which is something i am getting into

peace

THANK YOU

to everyone who was praying for me and the team. i just got back yesterday and have begun realising just how much God has done and how the prayers of the saints (you) have been answered. its hard to quantify all thats happened, both to the island and in my heart, but it has been an adventure of epic proportions with God showing His awesome charater, power and love.

many people heard the gospel, were prayed for, some were healed, we saw visions and prophesied, prayed and cried. the churches were further united i met some truly inspiring people and clubbed like never before.

it was not without struggles and troubles, cars didnt show up for trips, plans were changed and re-changed, we didnt know what was going to happen until it did, from a personal point of view the ibethenco attitude to bearwear or total lack of, was difficult, more grace was required for repeating myself again and again to people who either werent used to my mumblings or english was not their first language.

but in the end we got there, i gave it 100% and did my best to be obedient
so the rest is in God's hand's so again THANK YOU ALL

yo the world

ibiza is mental
we are all loving it
there have been some crazy things going on with the prophetic people who are here all summer seeing angels ready for battle, a big prayer meetings with ibizian churches and loads of people really wanting to know about God who are working in the west end.
personally its really stretching, a friend said she thought the bit in daniel 3 when shadrach meshech and abendigo were in the fire would be appropriate for my time here and she was right! but the forth man in the furnace is definately with me now too.

please pray for:

faith and unity in the team, its hard to keep trusting in God when the odds seem so stacked against us

alan, a PR from a bar who has invited me to go on a boat for a day to talk about God

gemma another girl who was PRing but got fired but is currently having lunch with 2 of the team cause she really wants to hear about God

cheers
i can really feel u guys who are with us in prayer, it is making a huge difference

yo
made it to san an in ibiza. we are staying in a sweet wee hotel a little north of the west end(infamous few streets of bars and general debauchery aka mission field)
so its all good, team in good form we had a day to chill yesterday, then saw probably the most beautiful sunset, at cafe mambo despite the fact the beach i was sitting on was about 10% sand 90% concrete! one of the ngm guys has a residency at a bar called sugar sea further down the sunset strip so we chilled out to him doing some really good djing, highlight was him dropping "rappers delight" and then cutting it to "last nigth a dj saved my life" then back to "rappers delight" then "you gotta keep moving" genius. anyway did a beach clean this morning then handing out beach ashtrays and free fruit later as a door to starting conversations... all prayers needed

the down and ups

still going on the way of purity course which is cool but had some downs and ups this week

thursday nite after work went to a party for one of the girls leaving, its was cool to meet some people and find out one of the guys who was really welcoming to me is a Christian, but ended up at a house party drunk and kissed two differnet girls, really annonyed at myself for lots of reasons but it was a mixture of wanting to get in with this new group of people as well as tiredness and drunkeness and lust, weak
spent a lot of friday sleeping and then calling out to God for freedom.

saturday went to Shine(night club in belfast student union but good) kinda of unsure about what was going to happen but detirmed to not get drunk, Phil Kernan played an amazing set and i just felt really close to God on the dancefloor and free to worship, i was trying to find the bit in the bible that talks about Jesus being Lord of the Dance, but without sucess, but anyway thats what it felt like, as usual the pillheads couldnt stick the dancing pace Holy Spirit 1 extacy 0 :)
the ensuing house party was typically mental with the house still in full swing at 5am an american frat boy showing up, the room was a bit hot boxed and i probably stayed too long (6:45) so missed church this morning but Praise the Lord we are on track for Ballynahinch(another church) later on :)
