November 17, 2006 update

Dear Friends,

Well, it has been a couple weeks since I have sent an update. Things are going well here in Ireland. We have been busy getting ready for our 2nd missions conference. Please be in prayer that the Lord would do a great work in the hearts of our small group of believers. We start tonight and will have an International Banquet tomorrow followed by another service as well as continue through all services on Sunday. Dr. John Halsey from BIMI will be our speaker this year. He is a great man to have for a conference to very clearly present faith promise missions. As a church we were able to give 5,000 Euro last year. With sending a missionary out of our own work here we Lord willing need to get over the 7,000 Euro mark. Please be in prayer these next couple of days that the hearts of God's people will be strengthened in their faith and be simply willing to follow as the Lord leads. I will send out a note next week to let you know how our weekend goes. By the way we will also be hosting a preachers fellowship on Monday with Dr. Halsey having three opportunities to open the Word. This will be our second time doing this. It is a time for the pastors and missionaries in Ireland and Northern Ireland to be encouraged and fellowship together. Our church will provide a luncheon for these men as well. Our hearts desire is to simply be a blessing to other men of God. Please pray that this meeting will meet the needs that may be on some preachers heart.

We are also excited to have Lisa's sister coming in tomorrow for a visit during the next week as well.

May the Lord find us faithful,
Don Thatcher
