In Cork CitySept 2011
(Jer. 32:27) Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Dear Praying Churches, Pastors, and Friends,
It has been a busy summer with a lot accomplished, both in my own Sending Church and also, with ongoing work
in Church Planting in the Carrigaline area of Cork. We are continuing to door knock every Saturday, and then during the week I try to follow up with any new contacts. It takes time to develop contacts in the area. We have also advertised on the local papers to attract people to the Bible Study. The thing that I am praying for most is that, God would send People into the Study that have a real hunger for God. We are still in Proverbs, going verse by verse, through each chapter. The biggest obstacle in a study like this is a lack of faithfulness; sometimes we have a good turnout, other times, we would just have a few. It however, is always exciting to see who the Lord is going to bring through our doors.
We have also been helping out in our Sending Church. There has been lots of activity with Youth Camp, and Bible Club for kids. I have learned a lot from this. I am planning next year to have a Bible Club in my area, so that, we can bring the gospel to kids that probably have never heard.
Discipleship: I have a discipleship every Monday evening with a man named Michael. He is an unsaved man that I believe understands the gospel but is just not quite ready to get saved. He has even gone door knocking with me as the silent partner, and has helped me in various ways; so the burden of my heart is to see him gloriously and wonderfully saved. I am also hoping, in the next few weeks to be able to start another discipleship in another home. I believe this is the key in getting people grounded in the Scriptures.
Soul Winning Progress: We are continuing to promote the Bible Study by door to door evangelism. We have made some very good contacts in recent weeks and I am hopeful that these would be very good potentials for the bible study. The hardest thing about follow up so far, is that, when we have called back to that door, there hasn’t been anyone at home.
Deputation Update: My main focus in the recent while has been the United Kingdom. I have several bookings over the next few months, mostly in England and in Wales. I am Thankful to Bethany Baptist Church for recently taking us on for support. I pray the Lord would abundantly bless them for this step of faith. It is a great encouragement to me when I hear such news. I will be in Grace Baptist Church in Enfield at the end of the month for a Missions Conference, so I am busy preparing for that.
Please Pray... I believe with all my heart that prayer is the key. Please pray for those that I have in the Bible Study, and in discipleship. Especially for Michael, that the Lord would open up his heart, and I would see some fruit from this discipleship. Also, please pray that the people that are coming to the Bible Study would be consistent and faithful every week.

We had a most blessed Bible Study tonight. We were in Proverbs Chapter 6, dealing with a lot of practical and serious subjects. I am glad for a Book that deals with the good and the bad in human behavior. God lays down commandments for our own benefit, that we would heed them, and stay away from destructive sinful pitfalls. The Book of Proverbs is truly amazing!

Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Dear Praying Churches, Pastors, and Friends,
It has been an interesting couple of months. At the end of June I started having vision problems in my right eye. It was like a curtain of blackness that started impairing my vision. At first, I thought it was a cold in my eye that would soon go away of its own accord. But in a matter of a few days, I was almost blind in my right eye. So I quickly went to the doctor and he was able to tell me that my retina was quite badly torn and that I needed an operation to repair it. Since then I have been in recovery and have had limitations on what I can do. My vision in my right eye is improving all the time but, in the mean time, I have to be careful and rest more than before. I have learned a great amount through this trial; God will not tell you the answer to why certain things happen to us in our lives, but, He will always give you the GRACE sufficient to go through each valley. I am so thankful for praying Christians who took the time on their knees to pray for us. It has thought me once again the importance of unfeigned prayer of the brethren; that is where the real fight is.
Developing Discipleship: I am most excited about the development of discipleships that has taken place recently. I started discipling a young man named Mark awhile back, and for a number of doctrinal areas that didn’t continue. I have now two discipleships that seem to be going strong. One is on a Monday evening and his name is Michael. He admits that he is not born again, but has a desire and hunger to know more. The other is with two ladies from a nearby town. We meet in their house most Tuesdays and they also have a desire to know more, but as of yet are not born again. I am very excited about these two discipleships and greatly desire some fruit from these endeavours.
Soul Winning Progress: I have done mostly visitations in the last month of those people that have come to the Bible study. As regards to knocking on doors, there has been very little activity that has gone on. The biggest problem with my eyes is that the sunlight makes my eyes watery, so I have been trying to stay in as much as possible. I am hoping that in the next few weeks to get back to normal activity.
Deputation Update: I am also restricted from flying because they had to put a gas bubble in my eye. It will take up to six weeks for it to dissolve fully. That will probably be about mid August. So until then, I will not be in a position to visit churches and to continue my deputation trail.
Please Pray... Please remember to pray for the two discipleships to continue and for the Wednesday night Bible Study to grow. We are going through the Book of Proverbs and it has been a great blessing so far. Please also, pray that things would soon return to normal, and that we would soon get back to door knocking every Saturday.
Some Good News... My wife Eileen is expecting again. She is now ten weeks pregnant and we are very excited about that. Whatever the Lord gives us is fine, but it would be sure nice if it was a baby boy.

Bible Study Wednesday 15/06/2011
Praise God ! We had a full house. I know that God is not into numbers, but rather, just being found faithful. I am glad however, when God brings people out to hear from His Word. We also had one visitor who said that he would be back again. We were in Proverbs Chapter 2, and we learned about understanding that only comes from knowing God. Bro. Kevin
