Ups and downsJOHN McCANDLESSCOMMUNITY OUTREACH WORKER –MOUNTPOTTINGER AND MERSEY STREETPRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES

If you’ve been to Barry’s at Portrush, you’llknow the experience of the Rollercoaster.The white knuckle ride that has you down,as well as up. Nevertheless, every bit of it isan exciting trip. And just as the disciples ofold knew all about reaching out with theGospel, either leading or supporting, and it isall exciting, it does have its ups and downs.Times of joy and times of concern.

Our teamwork in Mersey Street with local people, Asians andEastern European families has been a blessing and one ofexcitement. Through our after school group Fun Factory, Mums &Tots, Kimberdance, Praise Group, Lads Dads & Grandads, we havebeen building terrific relationships and bridges with young peopleand their families. Supporting them with issues at home, teachingmusic and skills, and the result is better inclusion and cohesion withlocal families. We have brought together, to some extent,marginalized communities under the gospel. Some of it has beenrelationship evangelism and some a direct message, and God hasgiven the increase in at least one European family.

We take the opportunities when we can with our Europeanneighbours because we don’t know how long we have them withus. Circumstances change so frequently in their work, their homeaddress, and their family commitments from their native lands, andso they come and they go, our ups and our downs; but our God is aGod of surprises because as they go others come around us andthat’s exciting.

In Mountpottinger, working as part of the team has seen blessingalso. The Mens Group has taken so well in the community and inthe congregation. Men from their teens and 20s, right through thegenerations till their 80s, are coming together with a wealth of lifeexperience, support and a caring for the others. Each of them (onaverage 24) look forward to a Friday morning of fun, food, friendshipand a ‘Timeout’ together on trips around the province.

Supporting the team at Toddlers has brought a new dimension tomy work at Mountpottinger; we have seen new relationships and afresh vision with this group.

In both areas, my door-to-door work is so important; meeting peopleon the doorstep right at the point of their need. People dealing withfamily issues, dealing with addictions, dealing with suicide in thefamily… lonely and hurting people who are searching for answers.

Thankfully I have someone that works with me, a God who not onlycares but sees us through the downs and gives us the ups. Thankyou friends for your prayers .

CAP MoneyLORRAINE BLEAKLEYCAVANALECK & AUGHENTAINE

On hearing about CAP (Christians Against Poverty)Money, we in Cavanaleck and Aughentaine Church feltthis would be a fantastic resource to help us put ourChurch mission statement into action, ‘To love God andto love others’.

One cold, frosty morning in December 2010, three of usset off to Carnmoney Presbyterian Church to be trainedas CAP Money coaches. We returned to Fivemiletownexcited and convinced that this was the perfect way toserve, not only our church family in Cavanaleck andAughentaine, but also to reach out into our community ina practical and relevant way.

The CAP Money Course is a money management coursethat teaches budgeting skills and a simple, cash-basedsystem that really works. The course is designed to helppeople gain more control over their finances so that theycan budget, spend, save and avoid debt.

We began by running the CAP Money Course in ourown church and then branched out into the community,holding classes in both Fivemiletown and Brookeborough.There is also a CAP Money Youth Course designed for 14- 16 year olds and we had the opportunity to deliver thisto year 12 and year 13 students at Fivemiletown College.Recently we were privileged to be invited to the home ofa local family to bring the course to four of their children.

There is often a misconception that a moneymanagement course is only for those who are in debt,but this is not the case, CAP Money is for everyone!

The course encourages people to set aside time toassess their finances and build a budget that really worksfor them. It empowers individuals to take control of theirfinances through a back-to-basics approach.

If you have a passion for reaching out to others, CAPMoney is the perfect tool to help you share anddemonstrate God’s love and compassion with others.

If you were to stand at the bottom ofSummer Hill in Cork just outside thelower gates of the Church and to lookup over the tidy, well-kept gardens,there is no doubt that TrinityPresbyterian Church cuts an imposingbut impressive building. Impressed bythe architecture, often intrigued bythe crooked spire, our open doorpolicy continues to draw in touristsfrom all over the world.

After a warm welcome they are free to simply walk aroundand encouraged to ask questions. Often those who do ask areopen to talk about their faith or lack of it, and these are Godgiven opportunities for us to share our faith. We are thankfulto God for providing Trinity the privilege of being able to sharethe gospel with people from so far afield, and for giving usinsight into how different cultures view and understand God.

Our open door policy also affords us the opportunity ofmeeting with the locals on the ground who live close by buthave never set foot inside. By simply doing so, they take thefirst step in dismantling misconceptions that have been builtup over the years and also gives us at Trinity some insight intohow the local people view us. Some people with whom weengage, whether it be a tourist or a local, stick to basicquestions and answers and there is no real desire to explorespiritual matters; whilst others are more willing to explore butonly at surface level. Some are keen to share their knowledgeof Scripture, talk about their upbringing and their parents’faith but less keen to share at a personal level. And then thereare others who are genuinely seeking to understand God andhow they can more closely relate to Him.

We are amazed at the number of people who explore theinternet in an attempt to glean that knowledge, and whilstthere is a lot of good stuff to be sourced, there is also greatdanger. We have encountered this problem on more than oneoccasion and have encouraged such people to search theScriptures as the Bereans did, and to test everything they hearand read about God against them to properly discern truthfrom error. God willing, we are planning to run a ChristianityExplored Course in the Church and are hoping to encouragesuch people to attend.

I use the word 'We' because at Trinity Presbyterian ChurchCork the work of the kingdom is not confined to either theRevd John Faris or myself, but to a group of people who havea real desire to serve God. At present, we have eight people

from the congregation committed to the work of StreetPastors in Cork City every Saturday night between the hours of10.00pm and 4.00am. No small commitment. We were furtherencouraged when another of our younger members recentlyexpressed a desire to join us. So here in Trinity we areendeavouring, with God's grace, to build a Team Ministrywhich will help us make a very real difference for Jesus in ourcommunity.

Another area of outreach in Trinity is a Bible Study with aTraveller Family who lives on a site in the inner City. Justrecently I was staggered to hear about the high rate ofsuicides within the young Travelling Community. This youngfamily expressed the opinion that this was due to a change inLaw which replaced their old way of life with a halting site orsettled accommodation.

The variety and freedom of life which they once knew wasreplaced with a mundane daily existence without hope. Thischallenged me in my thinking and I realized that they neededa new hope and new life by experiencing the love of the LordJesus Christ and by trusting Him alone.

We need to know more about our local communities and theproblems they face and help them, by the grace of God, toreplace hopelessness with the hope of the gospel.

Reading and prayingbrings hopeHAZEL REIDDEACONESS1ST BROUGHSHANE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

I have been in 1st Broughshane now fornearly a year. Much of my time has beenspent visiting; this includes nursing homes,hospitals and people in their own homes.Often conversations reveal big issues thatmany people are dealing with; the pain ofbereavement, loneliness, relationshipproblems as well as ill-health and coping

with a range of physical debilities. I have learned that while I haveoften felt frustrated that I’m not able to do something physical, readingGod’s Word and praying can bring hope, encouragement, strength andgrace to every situation and circumstance we face in life.

As well as having the pleasure of teaching the Girls BrigadeScripture and being involved in a joint church Christianity Explored,I have been part of a Mission Planning Working Group for 1stBroughshane. We have been using the Board of Mission in IrelandCongregational Mission Plan Toolkit. We hope to finish this processby the end of June. Again, God has taught me so much through this;to see the church through the eyes of others, especially those whodon’t see the significance and relevance of church or God.

Recently I have begun to put together a small newsletter/leafletcalled Connecting 1st, in an attempt to help all the churchorganisations connect with each other and share information andnews, encouraging all of us to feel part of the whole church ratherthan just our own small corner. It is also hoped that in the AutumnI would lead a GriefShare in Broughshane House for people in thecommunity suffering from bereavement.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

‘In-village’ servicesREVD MOLLY DEATHERAGE BALLYMOTE, BALLINA & KILLALA

What do you do when your church buildings are way out inthe sticks, and new folks moving into the area don't knowyour church is even there? What do you do when you findnumbers shrinking and struggle to draw people from avillage out in the country lanes to worship with you?

In Ballymote, we have known that we need to dosomething, so last year we initiated an Alpha course,inviting the other congregations in town to participatewith us, in order to widen the scope a bit. But thechallenge remains to try to reach some of the new peoplewho have moved into the new houses that have beenbuilt around the perimeters of Ballymote, especiallysince, according to the census, some of those newresidents are Presbyterians.

So we have launched ‘in-village’ services with the hopethat they can continue on a monthly basis. During the weekleading up to it, we put up posters and went door-to-doorwith invitations in an attempt to put them into people'shands with a smile and a "love to have you there!"

A team from Ballina has helped with the door-to-door,has participated in the service and helped with servingthe tea afterwards, and the Ballina Sunday School teamdoes children's activities for the families which come.The music is folk style praise, accompanied by guitar andaccordian! We had three "guests" in our first service!Because the ‘in-village’ service is so far away, we havehad to fit it in with the service times of Ballina andKillala, so it is the fourth Sunday for a couple of monthsto see how it goes. Also Ballina has kindly offered tomove their service to 10.00am that Sunday so that theBallymote service could start at 11.30am and folks wouldbe home for Sunday dinner.

Please pray with us as we cast our nets and see whatwe can pull in!

New BeginningsJULIE PEAKEDEACONESSPORTRUSH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

I believe that God is taking the church inPortrush on a significant journey of newbeginnings. Over the past few years, therehave been various new ways in which wehave sought to engage with the communityaround us. In this present economic climate,one of the ministries that has developed isthat of a church charity shop. We called it'New Beginnings', and through it seek to

provide good quality, affordable clothes and household goods to thelocal community. We have also run a sewing class from thepremises and this has encouraged people to learn a new skill andgain confidence.

Other opportunities to bless the community have come by partneringwith the PSNI and other local churches through Causeway ChristianServices (CCS) to care for the vulnerable and oppressed in ourneighbourhood. Another ministry that has just recently developed isbecoming a part of the Causeway Foodbank, collecting and distributingfood to households who find themselves in financial crisis.

In all these things our goal is to bring Christ glory, by showing Hislove to others and telling them about the 'New beginning/life' thatis available to them in trusting Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Yet weare mindful that there are no 'new beginnings' in the Kingdom ofGod without the Spirit of God being at work in a person's life. Weare becoming increasingly aware of the need to watch what theFather is doing, pray in accordance with His will and let thatdetermine how we serve.

I was both encouraged and challenged recently when I read thefollowing quote from S.D. Gordon: 'You can do more than pray afteryou have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you haveprayed... Prayer is striking the winning blow... service is gatheringup the results'.

Please join us in 'striking the winning blow' and praying that wewould truly believe Jesus when He says 'apart from Me you can donothing' (John 15:4-5) and follow His example in doing only whatwe see the Father doing (John 5:19).

Our ever-changingcommunityPHILIP HOUSTONCOMMUNITY OUTREACH WORKER RATHCOOLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Things change. People grow older, fashions come and go,technology alters how we communicate and how wework, world leaders rise and fall, people are born,families grow - things change. But some things don'tchange. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today andforever. He is unalterable, He is consistent, He is reliable,He is always.

This presents a big challenge to the church. We need todiscern what can change, what must change and whatabsolutely must not change. Rathcoole Presbyterian is nodifferent. The Estate in which we live is quite differentfrom how it was even 10 years ago. People interact witheach other, with the rest of the world and with the churchin ways that were unthinkable in the past, and the churchas a result faces a great challenge. We must engagewith our ever-changing community in a relevant, usefuland meaningful way and we do this using the unchangingWord of God.

We are trying to encourage people to read the Bible, todiscuss the Bible and to hear God's voice through theBible. By meeting with people individually and readingscripture one-to-one we are able to apply the Worddirectly into people's lives and the situations they face.When we do this we find that the Bible remains, not justrelevant, but accurate, convicting and life-changing.

Please pray for myself and others in Rathcoole who arereading the Bible one-to-one with people who aren't yetChristians. Pray that people continue to be open toreading together; that the Holy Spirit will talk directly topeople's hearts, convicting and saving them. Pray that the

unchanging LordJesus changespeople through Hisunchanging Word.My wife, Jenny,and I would alsoappreciate prayerfor our little familyas it has grownwith the arrival ofour first childRebekah.

The Power of His TouchLINDA McFAULDEACONESS,FIRST CARRICKFERGUS

“Come to me, all you who are weary andburdened, and I will give you rest. Take myyoke upon you and learn from me, for I amgentle and humble in heart, and you will findrest for your souls. For my yoke is easy andmy burden is light.”

All of us are in need of healing; it may be forsome of us a desperate search to find a cure

from a debilitating illness, for others the need is more for innerhealing and the emotions that are damaged through experiences inour daily lives. As a church family we need to share with those intimes of joy and also support those in times of trouble and difficulty.

As a result of this over the past couple of years we started the yearwith a week of prayer for healing and renewal. People wereencouraged to come morning and evening and there was also aWednesday night service led by a team from Divine HealingMinistries when the hall was filled with people who came toreceive prayer. At the conclusion of the week Brother David Jardineled the Sunday morning service with the opportunity at the end forpeople to stay for prayer. This was very moving to see peoplestream forward for themselves or others. This has been a verypowerful ministry to be involved in and to benefit from personally.This has been a time that I have grown in my own spiritual life, andalso seen how prayers have and are continuing to be answered.

Building on this a team of people including myself have attendedtraining for those involved in the healing ministry in order to seeprayer ministry become a regular part of our worship.

If you are in the midst of a storm now allow God to touch your life,ask for prayer and recognise God’s presence in that storm.

May we recognise that we serve a God who is able to transformand restore, even in the most hopeless of situations.

Hands that TalkJACKIE O’NEILLDEACONESS,JOYMOUNT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Opening the door into the silentworld of the Deaf Community.My challenge to learn British SignLanguage. During the past fewyears I have become aware ofdifficulties caused by hearingimpairment, some people can feelvery isolated. Communication isessential whether it is by speech

or hands that talk, and I felt that I was being drawn intothe world of signing. When I watch the news on TV I amfascinated by the interpreters. Their hands move soquickly from one shape to another and each movement aword! The seed had been sown in my heart. I could seea way of communicating in a different language and Iwas being drawn into it with an eagerness to learn. Iwondered if my hands would ever talk.

My course took place in ‘Hands That Talk’ in Dungiven.This is a community-based project, drop in, support unitfor deaf people, and comprehensive teaching for thosewishing to learn signing. Rauri is their teacher; he is deafand an excellent communicator. With his skills andpatience he guided me through B.S.L. Level 1 in fourmonths. That was on a 1-1 intensive course. The wholeprocess was a total privilege. Looking back at the firstsession, I really had no idea of the task ahead. Howmuch it would stretch and challenge me. So many signsin my memory and trying to move them to my hands! TheHoly Spirit undertook at every point and enabled me tocomplete the course. My heart’s desire is to continuelearning and I have registered for Level 2, which is thenext stage starting September 2013. Please pray that Iwill continue to know The Lord’s will and Blessing.
