Johnny has been living and serving in Belfast, Ireland since this summer, living with the Servants of the Word and serving with UCO. I want to keep you a bit updated on what I have been doing here in Belfast so far. I have really enjoyed it here. I have enjoyed working with the people in UCO, getting to meet people in the community and also getting to know the guys in the Servants of the Word house where I am staying.
It has been a busy couple months. I was able to go on a retreat/ mission training in Rostrevor, which is an hour drive south of Belfast, during my first week here. The retreat was with other UCO missionaries in Belfast, Glasgow and London. Then right after that I went to Glasgow for more mission training with Kairos mission year people that are doing similar years as me but only for those who were just doing a mission year.
Then by mid September was really when we began mission work. The first week, we had coffee stalls outside Queens University and were offering tea and coffee and inviting students to different UCO events that week. We were able to get students to different events and have had a good amount of regulars attend. We usually run football on Monday Nights, worship nights every Tuesday and Bible Studies on Thursdays. My job is trying to help run these events, and to meet up with students one on one to build a relationship with them, to evangelize to them and to help guide and give advice on how to live as a christian.
I also have had much time to pray and to think about what God's will is for my life. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue my mission here.
Blessings, Johnny Conant
