\"\"<\/a>Dear Prayer Partners,<\/p>\n

Over the past month, I\u2019ve had many people in my house from my family to youth workers. When I signed the lease on my house, I was nervous that it was too much house for me. As I began to make this house a home with cozy touches, plants in the garden and seasonal decorations, I felt God saying that this home will be used for my glory. The rooms will be filled, if only temporarily, as a blessing to the kingdom. I am happy to say that it is starting to happen.<\/p>\n

My brother, Mark, and his family visited a few weeks ago and the house was full to the brim with the people I love the most in this world. It was such a joy to show my family Ireland for the first time. We did not \u201chave the weather,\u201d as they say but that made it a much more authentic Irish experience. I am so happy that they have a context for my life here and the people I do ministry and life alongside.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, I welcomed three young women into my home as they lead groups of children for Scripture Union\u2019s Annual CSSM (Children\u2019s Special Service Mission) Youth Camp. It\u2019s been a really great experience to have the house full again with young women building the kingdom locally here in Greystones.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, my colleague preached on God\u2019s table. He told us that God\u2019s table has, and always will be, bigger than our own. He challenged us to find out who is missing from our table, individually and as a congregation. We have big plans here at the Naz about how to make our building and our property more inviting and accessible to the biggest \u201ctable\u201d we can make. God is showing me how big I can make the table, my house, that he has given me here in Greystones. Will you pray with me to keep my eyes open to those individuals and groups that are missing at my table and the Naz\u2019s table?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
