Ok, ok . . apologies for the cheesey reference to MWS. It just happened. Anywho . . . tomorrow morning I head to Longford, Co. Longford for our third and final Anois Leaders' training event at which there may only be four or five. Oh well, we'll go informal! That's one of the beautiful things about the Irish . . very little pretense and low expectations (for some things)! It's always been and always will be about relationships! Tomorrow afternoon following the training I'm driving to the end of the earth - a little town in west Co. Mayo called Aughagower (Awk-a-gower). I'll be meeting with our Diocesan Youth Officer there to look ahead for how he might develop effective youth ministry there. Belfast then home again Tuesday evening. Christy and Aidan are sick - prayers welcome. Peace.
For the last two years I have had the privilege of getting to know a man called Michael Guido. 'Guido' as he's better known, has been a friend to those in the Arts & Entertainment industry for over 20+ years. He's a pastor of sorts and a spiritual companion. Guido is a pioneer in the 'road pastor' tradition - supporting groups like Jars of Clay , dc Talk , POD , Michael W. Smith , Switchfoot and others. He, his wife Celeste and indeed his entire family have given so much for the calling on their lives to support, challenge and encourage artists and their families in their relationship with Christ. Please pray for the Guidos if you're the praying type. Pray for protection, financial support, joy and an overriding sense of God's clear calling on their ministry - PR Ministries . The PR stands for 'Persuing Relationships'. Every time we speak, Guido challenges me with his intense love for God and his knowledge of the Scriptures. H
