Guess who's back...

Hello everyone, I am sooooooo sorry that it has taken us so long to post again, we still have limited access to the internet and time is just really flying by!!! However I am determined to try and blog at least twice a month because God is just doing to much amazing stuff to let it go that long.
That being said let me catch you up to date on all the amazing things God has been up to. First of all He has provided this amazing Church of Ireland building that was built in the 1800's for us to use as a house of prayer!!! The place has not been used for several years and the congregation now meets somewhere else, and literally we are allowed to use it for whatever we want FREE OF CHARGE!!! It is such an amazing opportunity and a total God send, seeing as one of the main things we felt called to do over here was establish some sort of prayer house. Not only that but it is literally located right on the Peace Wall, (the wall that was built to divide the extremely Protestant Shankill community and the notoriously Catholic Falls Rd. community.) How amazing is that? The Lord is up to something, and I am so excited to be a part. We had our first official prayer meeting there last Friday night and we are now meeting there for morning prayer at 630 A.M. Mon.-Fri. We are in the midst of trying to sort out the Lord's will and design for this particular house of prayer, and so we are taking it kinda slow right now. We have been gathering leadership for it, and really praying into how it should move forward, if you could keep us in your prayers for wisdom and provision that would be great. There are several churches that have shown a real interest in the house of prayer and want to know more and see how they can get involved, so I know that it is on the Lord's heart which is altogether exciting!!!
Other than that there has been some awesome things going on with the Travelers aka "Gypsies", several families of them have gotten saved which is wonderful, and we are currently building relationship with them and doing our best to help them in any way we can. We are actually throwing a huge party for them on Sat. the 6th of Sept. which should be quite amazing, a lot of the Travelers from different camps are supposed to be there, which would be good in and of itself. (They normally stay to themselves and don't really interact much with other camps.) It is so inspiring to see these mistreated and hated people come to know the love and acceptance of a perfect Father!!!
And on Tuesday nights our homeless outreach is going very well, there are probably close to 20 people that participate in it weekly from different churches and backgrounds, and we are seeing people touched and/or saved by God each week on the streets!!! Sometimes if there are not that many homeless people it just turns into an outreach night, which is so great to see and be a part of.
So long story short the Lord is really moving, and doing stuff here, and we know as sustained prayer goes up that the heavenly activity will only increase!!! We are so excited and honored to be a part of what the Lord is doing in Belfast, and all over the whole island of Ireland!!! Thank you so much for reading and please be praying for us!!!

Totally awesome. I'm playing Revival in Belfast and reading your blog. Wonderful to be living and walking in the Lord's will. We will keep the prayers going upward and love to hear more often what He is doing in and through you. God bless you and your efforts. Ma Brown
