Countdown.....

So we are sitting here, and I have posted twice in two days. So by my estimations this is coming close to the most consecutive journal that we have ever written! We had a wonderful night last night with our very close friends Mark and Rachel Brown. Mark and Rachel have been friends for a few years now, and are running a young adults prayer group for us while we are away. They are also coming over to visit us next Easter - something which we will look forward too immensely.

In the last few days we have had so many cards, e-mails, gifts, visits (and some surprise visits!) from lots and lots of people. Our assistant Pastor, Billy Jones visited us this morning to pray with us before we leave. Even though Julie was just out of the shower, and I was still in my pyjamas(!) it was such a blessed time. He shared with us about Joshua going to the land that God had promised, and as I am studying Joshua at the minute it really hit home what we are doing. We are to be strong, and courageous and be of good cheer, because the Lord God Almighty is with us!

Please pray as we travel down to Dublin tonight and that we will have a good nights sleep. We would also appreciate prayers for Jonny's father who hasn't been well this past while with his heart, and has an appointment on Wednesday. Also that the Lord will convict Jonny's mum, dad, brother and his wife, of their need for the Saviour.
