Big Day Coming Up Tomorrow
As I write this today, we are preparing for our final day of basketball tomorrow. It has been 12 days of basketball now and we are working hard on tomorrow's awards program for the parents of our 30 players. Paul, Ben, Samanthia, and SaraJean - our coaches from America have been a huge help connecting with local kids and their families.
Paul is an enginering student from Delaware, Ben is a senior at Tennessee, Sam is a nursing student in TN and SaraJean just finished college and is heading back to Colorado. In addition we have Alan from Norhtern Ireland - he along with Kieran have been the daily 'skills drills' designers and kept the camp on track.
Tomorrow we have invited all the parents to come at 4:45 PM to see what their kids have been learning, watch our final competitions and cheer as we had out trophies and certificates. Please pray with us as we try to firm up Kingdom Relationships with many of the parents. This is a big part of the plan to show what Jesus looks like, through all of us.
After camp ends, we will be driving up to Belfast in Northern Ireland on Sunday to pick up Pastor David and Graham and Carol. There are flying in to Belfast today to visit other friends there, and we will then bring them back to Dublin with us! We can't wait.
Then on Monday - our son Andrew and his family; Sarah and the kids (Abby and Joseph) will be here for three weeks on their way back to South Asia. It will be good to see them again, and for the first time in Ireland!
Thank you for praying - we depend on His glorious mercy and sustaining strength!


Hi Tim, Kath & Sarah!
I'm praying that all went well with the Basketball awards program! And that those bonds you are trying to establish with the kids and their parents have gained strength through this process. Rejoicing with you for the help you had from the American students. What a blessing for you and the kids and what an experience for them!
How terrific that you will soon be seeing the Grahams as well as Andrew, Sarah, Abby & Joseph! That's WONDERFUL! No doubt it will be a sweet and precious time.
With love and continuing prayers...
