God is Love...

Greetings friends and family! My sincere apologies for the span of time between our blogs. It seams like we are always busy with something. This including our move into our new house. God is amazing in his provision!! He has provided a 3 bedroom townhouse for Evan and I. It is just outside of the city centre on the west side. This place will be, and already has been, an amazing tool in ministering to people. We have been fortunate to further establish relationships with people while putting them up in the third room, and will continue to do so.
On the subject of furthering relationships with people. God is continually amazing us with his ability to network his body here. We are seeing this family, from all different backgrounds, come together. Catholics and Protestants. Even connecting Irish and British. We are really being used as a common ground, just as was our intention from the beginning.
It has been such an adventure, this life. As we set our faces daily to die to ourselves and chose to let God have full control of us. We are both continually being wrecked for the lost. Taking on the heart of God is a heavy burden. But it is worth it. My dreams, my ambitions, cannot compare to the satisfaction of a life laid down. It cannot compare to the pure Love of God!!
There are many things in the works as I write this. We are now working on organizing prayer gatherings on a regular basis. As this is the foundation of any work of God. Also, we feel called to the last, the least, and the lost. The door to minister to the "Irish Travelers" or "Gypsies" is swinging wide open. These are the most despised and avoided people in Europe. We are making amazing strides to being able to really express the love of God to these. Also, along with the call to the last, the least, and the lost is our ministering to the homeless. We just went out last night and were blessed to be able to show many the love of God with a simple sandwich and tea. We were able to pray with many of them. God is so good. Though it is a process, I am commited to seeing these beautiful people begin to dream and hope again.
Well I could go on and on. But I will have to leave you with this for now. I pray the very best on all of you!! And I am so very thankful for the ones who continue to support God's work in Ireland through your prayers and donations. As it is my privilege to serve.
All for Love, Alan Anderson
