Settling Back In :-)

Well after a long wait and much anticipation, I am finally getting settled back in my flat in Kilkeel. The past day and a half has been in once sense, very surreal. It's been great seeing people again. Often times it feels like I was just here yesterday. But then when I look around and realize that the school year is pretty much over and that summer is right around the corner, then I see that much has gone by.

God is good and it is very exciting to be back in the swing of things as we plan for the future. The biggest thing that we have coming up is about 4 weeks from now when a team of 15 people will be coming out to join us for a couple of weeks. They will be helping us out in many areas, but most significantly out on Kittys Road. We (and they) are very much looking forward for their arrival and to continue the relationships that were begun last summer. So as you think of it, please be in prayer for them as they get ready for the trip and travel here.

Otherwise, for the next week or so I will just be hanging about the school going on various trips with students. Tomorrow I get to go with the Year 11's up to Lisborn for the day, so that will be great craic (I'm pickin up the lingo again quite quickly ;-) ).

One other thing that I would ask your prayers for is for the families of the poeple who were involved in a local plane crash last week. The funerals will be tomorrow and it will be a very sad day through Kilkeel and Annalong. This tragedy has been devastating to the local community, so please be in prayer for the families and friends as they mourn. The tremendous blessing in the situation is that all three who died were believers!

Yearning for Christ,
Jason
