What do you want from me?

by Mark in Ireland, thoughts

Ange and I were prayer walking down on the main street and promenade of Newcastle this morning. It’s something we’ve been doing on and off since we got here, and lately we’ve organized our schedule so that we’re in the town prayer walking two mornings a week. We pray for Newcastle as a town, for [...]

Ding, Ding, Ding…

Just got back from our prayer retreat at the Christian Renewal Centre in Rostrevor. We had such a good time. We went down on Saturday morning and joined them for an all day prayer for Ireland event, which finished around 4pm. We then went for a walk, had dinner and spent the evening reading, praying, [...]

A Short Non-update

Edwin Orr, a widely respected historian, in a message called “Prayer & Revival,” described the situation in America in the 1780s. [...]

If you want to pray for us…

by Mark in Ireland

If you’re wanting to join us in prayer, here are some things that are in front of us: We need more empowerment from the Spirit. He’s already gifted us in many ways, but as I look at the task in front of us, this is the number one thing on my heart. Soft hearts, open [...]

this week, in 600 words or less

by Ange in Ireland, thoughts

Mark and I had the pleasure of attending a bit of the District Conference of the C&MA this past Tuesday. It was a really interesting day. It felt really good and encouraging to be with a bunch of people who love the Lord and have walked with him – some for a few years, and [...]

Thanks

by Mark in thoughts

Yesterday was one of those days that I just woke up in a fog of heaviness and weariness. I imagine most of us have days like that. All morning I was feeling heavy and anxious about things at work. I decided to take some time over my lunch break and pray, asking God for peace [...]
