IRELAND Writing from N Ireland

In September, brother Kenny Newell and I had Gospel meetings in Castlepollard, at Patrick and Yvette Bower’s farmyard. This was the fourth series there, and attendance was relatively encouraging with people there nightly who usually would not have an opportunity to hear the gospel in their immediate locality. The interest shown has encouraged us to continue a monthly meeting there and so we moved ‘the mobile hall’ from Galway to Westmeath. The first Tuesday night we had 9 locals present and when we returned in November locals attended again. Do pray that we might see blessing there, as we return now before Christmas, and continue into 2023 as the Lord leads.

Opportunities to visit Primary and Secondary schools with the Bible exhibition continue. It is good to see positive responses from teachers and Principals in many schools. Some schools are already scheduled for 2023. Do pray that this door will remain open and that it will be blessed of God. It is the responsibility of us all to look for and make use of the opportunities to reach a rising generation, that do not hear the gospel in Sunday school settings as maybe once they did.

Since early November a lot of our time has been spent in calendar distribution to nursing homes, hospitals, and prisons across our Island. It is encouraging to receive text messages and emails from homes and hospitals requesting more. As we work at this, we are very pleased to see last year’s calendars displayed in the reception of so many of the facilities. Both now and throughout the year pray for those who now have in their possession the living Word of God.
