God's Moving at 3am
Well we are still waiting to move into our new home. Its seems to some people that a week means 3-4 weeks, tomorrow could mean a week, and an hour could be 4-5 days. Regardless of what happens with our new move, I am really happy that I built is a two week cushion for our departure date from our old home. The only real issue with our move is that time constraints very from person to person. In other words, if you don't know people and their work habits you may have to pay extra for utilities and phone bills until the move is complete. We are really hoping that we will be moved in by this Tuesday, as Monday is the May Day long weekend which means nothing will be done for a few days at least.
This past Saturday Leanne Coker (Kenora, Ont.), myself and two church members from the Cootehill Christian Fellowship went out at half one in the morning! The Canadian translations of Half One in the morning is 1:30 am. We were blessed with warm weather and warm fuzzy smiles by all the party goers in Cavan Town until around Half Three in the morning (3:30 am). This ministry is growing in popularity with the party goers and they are excited about the free tea and coffee. The free tea and coffee often sparks an interest in what we are doing and why we are there. This opens a gate way of conversation that often times leads to one of us sharing the Gospel or how God has changed our lives. Too often in life we miss great opportunities to put ourselves in the paths of those who need to hear that God loves them, and desires the best for them through a real relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. This ministry is a sowing seed ministry, and at the same time is a building block for the future of God's work in Cavan Town. We encourage you to pray for us as we will be out May 9, 17, and perhaps June 1.
Pray that God will draw his children to himself and that those with a hunger for God come and have a coffee with us. The stories are wonderful about how we are able to speak into peoples lives, and pray for them. Dermot from Bailebourough really feels that God is breaking through in Cavan Town and that there seems to be a greater hunger for a relationship with God and a greater acceptance of the Gospel being presented to them via this type of Coffee ministry.
Prayer Requests and Praise Reports are:
- Please pray for protection for our family.
- Pray that we continue to meet people and effectively communicate the Gospel when a window of opportunity opens.

- Pray for Kamala as she is fighting a cold/lung infection and has her finals in her schooling in Irish Sociology
