Exciting news!
Let's be updated on some statistics: the road team has ministered to 2744 Irish youth since we've gone on the road. And not only do we do that from encounter days, but we've also been busy with a parish mission this past week - something new and exciting for our team.
Our parish mission took place at St. Mary's parish in Convoy, Co. Donegal. We had about 10 youth coming out each night to prepare themselves for the Christmas season. The nights were filled with talks, sharing from some team members, games, dramas and sketches, and times for prayer and reflection. They thought it was brilliant and thoroughly enjoyed it; they also got a lot out of it, which was class (read: fantastic)!
We've also got some bittersweet news. Sheila, will be leaving us to go back to Canada this weekend. While she's usually known as 'the driver', she's a lot more than that to our team. As part of the road team, she truly has been a blessing to each of us - the road team would not have been the same without her. Please keep her in your prayers. Who's going to drive the team around now, you ask? Well, Christophe, of course! Yes, the good news is that Christophe has finally gotten his license and is now able to drive the van :) God really provides for all our needs - and never a second too late.
But the new and exciting doesn't end there for this team. This weekend, we are holding a retreat for those between the ages of 8 and 17. We are super excited - please keep us in your prayers. Some of our team members are also not feeling well, so if you could please pray that we all get better, that'd be much appreciated.
