Ministry Opportunities
Gary has a couple of opportunities to talk to some of the young people here. He spoke a The University of Cork to the Christian Student Union, comprising of students from around the world. He was well recieved but a little disapointed that there were not more local Cork or Irish students in attencence.
He also spoke at Cork Baptist to a gathering of teens who were from various churches in town. He spoke to them about how they need to reach out to their friends in a new fresh way and not be caught "in old armour" as he put it. He was told by some of the leaders that the kids loved what they heard and were challenged by it.
Gary has had a few opportunities to meet with some men at the rugby club and get into some conversations about the faith lately, it seems now they know we are going home they are opening up a bit. He has also had the opportunity to meet with a few people that are loosley attached to the church and have not been coming regularly for various reasons. This is good for Gary because this is his passion and allows him to use the gifts God has given him, evagelism and pastoring-discipling.
