At the end of April we had a team from Groningen, Holland. Eight wonderful people came for 6 days. We had a great time on the streets. Several people on the team spoke Spanish and were surprised how useful that was here as they were able to witness to people from Spain, Columbia and Peru. Cork is surprisingly international. We've recently had people come to church from Czech Republic, Mauritius, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Nigeria.

 

 

They also did a great drama on the sidewalk. It was the first time that we had tried that here, and it was very effective. Lots of people stopped and watched, and when they finished Keith was able to preach to the crowd that had gathered. We're looking forward to doing more dramas with the other groups that are coming this summer.

 

 

 

Wednesday nights we usually have a Bible study, but because the team was here we decided to have a special service and Peter Gooijer the assistant pastor from the Groningen church preached. Several visitors came and one man was healed from  pain in his body after Pastor Gooijer prayed for him. We also enjoyed some special music by Justine and Reinhart.

Before they flew home we took them to see Blarney Castle - it was a beautiful day!

 

 

 

Thank-you all so much for coming to help us here. You're amazing!
