Debrief at Castlewellan Castle

We piled into our minibuses today and ventured to the town of Castlewellan, north from Kilkeel along the coast. We spent the afternoon at Castlewellan Castle, debriefing from the whole trip. We discussed everything from the logistics of host homes to the need for spiritual nourishment day to day. It was a helpful time to pull things together, look back, and look ahead to future years.

There was one untoward incident at the beginning of the afternoon:

I'm not sure who started it, but Daniel did end up making a trip to the doctor with quite a sore shoulder...

This evening the team ate our last meal in the church hall cooked by the amazing Grace, and then hung out, playing board games and watching a movie. Tomorrow is the day we say our goodbyes to our beloved Northern Irish friends before heading out early Saturday morning for the Dublin airport. Keep praying for us, that we would finish this mission strong, say goodbye well, and carry out what God has set in motion through this mission.

Grace.
