Peace in Northern Ireland

Now that I know it works...

Howdy! It's my turn to post for the group this evening from Belfast. I'll fill ya'll in on Adam's attempted report from last night as well, I think one of the highlights for him was explaining in detail the "Ulster Fry" or famous breakfast dish that serves an egg, beans, sausage, tomatoes, and of course potatoe bread...mmmm!
I'll recap the activities we've done since our arrival. When we arrived on Tues we dropped our luggage off at the youth hostile in Belfast before catching the bus to Corrymeela (a word of Irish origin meaning "Hill of Harmony"). It as a great two days with a group of young adults from all over the world sharing a similar passion for peace and reconciliation.
On the final day, there was a video featuring the Middle East wars and our group gathered to pray for those who would be returning there from Palestine, Lebanon, and...Adam (he was asked to join since he has a particularly strong passion for this part of the world and is called to this area, as well)! It was a very moving and meaningful part of the time with YWAM before we said our good-byes.
This morning we met with Gareth Higgins, a leader of Zero28. We immediately took to this "lively chap" and had a great talk with him about our purpose here and ideas for the next few days' events. His humor and wit won us over, but he is also very knowledgable about the current religious and political environment we now find ourselves in.
I just want to say, on a more personal note, that I truly appreciate all your prayers and support in sending us here. It has been a wonderful and awe-inspiring few days already and I know God has many more great things in store for us for the next week.

Love, Peace, and Prayers,
Ang
