Many have come before me!
I have no idea what the heck happened to November!!! So lets just pretend like it never happened???
Well alrighty here we go its December 2nd and I appologize for not writting like at all in november I was having some issues with the computer that I was working on then! I did a couple of blogs and then went to post them and they were errased so I said frick it! Ya I showed it! Sorry Adam I did try but you know I am not compouter savy!!! Ok lets get down to business, I have begun working at the Aisling Project (pronounced Ashley) in Ballymun
I want you to try and imagine the movies you have seen on inner city dwellings and then tripple it! When I pulled up I thought the building we parked infront of was in no way being used by anyone it looked like a sqaut. Only to find out that the Aisling Project is located on the third floor of this building and then later found out there are families that live in this building! God's bold like that isn't he. In your face Satan, Gods army is right in the midst of the chaos and pain. Your demons of striffe, pain, and suffering will be crushed with my heel! My hands will be used for war against the likes of you! If ever I was doubting whether or not God was indeed here in Ireland, He showed me on thursday that, yes! he is here and he is working through the likes of us Christians who are not going to be terrorized by the rapists and murders, and drug dealers of the community of Ballymun. We will fight for the rights of the children and speak boldly of the love that Jesus has for them and the plan our heavenly father has for thier lives.
It is one of the few places in Ireland that we can openly speak the truth of the gospel. We have the "freedom" to share with these kids the truth of what God's plans for their lives are. Can you believe these little ones don't know they are royalty! Princes and Princesses chosen by the King himself. Oh how I long to tell them stories of the great King Jesus, and his mighty warriors and the many children he has chosen fight in his army of Peace keepers, against the dark army. How all they have to do is ask and he will be there with them fighting along side them in their darkest hours. This is the best bed time story I have ever known, and I hope it will become theirs as well.
Pray for us all at the Aisling Project we are officially in the middle of the toughest war I have ever had to fight! We are fighting to save souls people. Your prayer of protection are welcomed and sought after. I have the pleasure of working with some of the bravest most Godly men I have ever met, these men have sacrificed everything they have to come and work in Ballymon, their lives have been threatened their families have been torn apart, their kids have been beaten to near death at the young ages of 8 years old!! And they still wake up and hit the streets of this community each and everyday. Because they have been called to do so. These men have been able to team up with the Catholic churches out here and have brought a new revival of Christianity into the churches.. there is amazing things happening here and I am honored to be apart of it. Every day I go to Ballymun I am one step closer to Jesus! Thy Will be Done Lord!
I love you all and know that I am safe and being loved and protected by our Lord Jesus Christ.
