Blue Skies

The past week has been really good!...Along with the weather. We've had many beautiful days in a row with lots of sunshine and little to no rain, which for Kilkeel is quite a blessing :-).

Monday and Tuesday of this past week we had half term break at the high school. So all of the students had those days off of school. I got together with one of my mentor groups on Monday. We hung out, I made some Chicago style deep dish pizaa (which they absolutely love!), played some xbox, and watched a dvd. It was a great opportunity to connect, hang out, and continue to build relationships with some of the young men that I work with. It's exciting encouraging them and watching them grow in their relationship with God.

The meeting that we had for E.T.C. went really well. There seemed to be a lot of positive feedback and discussion about it. There are still a couple other meetings that will need to be had within the next week or to before we are able to pilot it. So please continue to pray for us as we try to fine tune this curriculum so that we can use it amongst our young people to encourage and equip them to live Pure lifestyles.

Tonight we have have a Youth Fellowship outing to go Bowling and Laser Tagging. It's our first YF outing in awhile, so there is much anticipation and excitement for it :-). I think we have about 30 students going, so it should be good craic!

This coming week is a pretty normal week with mentor groups and SU. I will be speaking this week in SU about relationships and purity within them. So pray that God would direct and guide me as I prepare for that. Also we have our Senior SU Weekend coming up the first weekend of March. We are starting to get things ready for that. So you can be praying for that as it comes up as well :-)

Thanks for your continued prayers and support. It is always very encouraging to hear of friends that are keeping up to date on my life and all that God is doing...so thanks!! Also, if you could, I found out this past week that my dad had pneumonia. Could you please pray for him that he gets better and gets back to full strength. Thanks again and may we continue to keep our eyes on Christ!

Yearning for Him,
Jason
