Northern Ireland Ministry, 2007

These photos of our recent ministry trip to Northern Ireland look like a travel log of the sights we saw along the way (and we saw a lot!) rather than a short-term mission. During the trip we presented three Biblical Dinners, at Belfast Bible College, Glenabby Church, and Christ Church Kilkeel, and Pastor Jay spoke at Harvest Church (Calvary Chapel) of Ballymena and a Bible study at the College. Additionally, we were blessed with many opportunities to meet and encourage a number of people, including students from Latvia, Africa, and the UK. Unfortunately, most of these ministry opportunities were such that they were difficult or impossible to photograph. Thus, we offer what we have, including some amazing pictures of the most beautiful country I have ever visited, with the Grim's photos soon to be added. Enjoy! -- Pastor Jay
