A Murder Mystery

On Tuesday, the Atticall teens went with us up the coast to Downpatrick, where St. Patrick is buried. There, they had to solve a murder mystery as two of our number mysteriously collapsed. It was all great fun... the Irish leaders Zak and Peter, together with James, Mark, and Jeffrey, did a great job setting up the mystery and making it fun for everyone.

After the murder mystery was solved (and Kristy discovered as the culprit), Zak spoke on the greatest murder mystery the world has seen... an empty tomb. And in fact, that murder mystery gets solved when we see that it was God's rescue plan to save a sinful world. 

From the castle, we headed to McDonald's (where the meat is superior to the U.S. and they have curry sauce!), and then on to a movie. It was a sweet time. Pray for us that:

- The day together would be used by God to knit hearts together. 

- That the Word put forth in the evenings would accomplish all God's purposes... we pray to soften hearts of these teens that they might see Jesus as he is: infinitely worthy of committing their lives to him.

- For Daniel as he speaks tonight on "God is Like a Rock"; Ryan is doing the same talk in Kittys Road.

- For the team, as Wednesday is normally the "brick wall" moment when the team is exhausted. Pray that we'd be given strength to persevere, especially in faith towards God and his promises. Pray we would cling to 2 Corinthians 9:8:

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
