• What?

    We really believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the most amazing, loving, powerful, compelling person who has ever lived. Understandably, though, many in the West have not been able to get past his followers. Our goal in life is to know that man, follow him, re-present him in a credible way, and gather others who [...]

  • Support

    We’re bivocational. That means our presence in Northern Ireland is partly supported by working as a web developer and also partly supported by people who believe in what we’re doing. We’ve made a deliberate decision to work a little less (in one sense) to be able to spend more time on prayer, study, and relationships. [...]

Why do you hide yourself?

by Mark in thoughts

I was having a pint with a few friends tonight as we do every week, discussing science, theology, philosophy, current events, and generally solving the worlds problems. One of the guys said something that struck me: “Why does God say ‘you must believe in me’ and then hide himself? Is that not unfair, if not [...]

A Challenging Read

by Mark in thoughts

I stumbled on this blog post by a friend of mine. It’s about the idea of being “open-but-cautious” to the Holy Spirit. http://jamesheth.blogspot.com/2011/04/open-but-cautious.html Favorite quote: If you were to meet a stranger on the street – and they were to say “I’m open but cautious about Jesus.” What are the thoughts that jump into your mind? What [...]

God’s Presence

by Mark in thoughts

What do we mean when we say that God was present or not present somewhere? I often hear people talk as if God wasn’t present or doing anything at a particular group or church meeting. At the same time I hear others react by insisting that God is everywhere, always present when 2 or 3 [...]

A Bit of Newcastle History

by Mark in Ireland, thoughts

An older man from Newcastle Methodist church recently (ok, a little longer ago than I care to admit…sorry, Alec…) gave me a tape of a service at their church from about 5 years ago. It’s a healing service they did about a year after the (then) minister’s wife was healed of a very rare, aggressive, [...]

With or against

by Mark in thoughts

It’s been way too long since we blogged so I thought I’d ease back in with a simple post instead of the mammoth “catch up on the last two months” one. I was thinking this morning about these two verses: John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried [...]

It’s Monday Again

by Ange in Uncategorized

It’s been a wet, cold week here in Newcastle. Usually May is full of sun and nearly as warm as it gets here. Hopefully this May is no prediction of the summer weather! The lawn is growing like crazy and needed to be cut about 3 days after the last cut. It will get done [...]

We’re still here

by Ange in Uncategorized

This Guinn family is finally feeling pretty settled back into life here in Newcastle, County Down. There was quite a bit more settling to do than we anticipated, but 5 months in the States was apparently long enough to warrant another round of culture shock upon our return. But we’ve made it through that season, [...]

We’ve updated some of the static pages to more clearly communicate our vision as it’s developed and matured over the last two years. We’re still trying to get [...]
