Music is a way of life for the Irish. A cup of tea a Baran (drum in pic) and a feadog (flute) will make even the grumpiest of Irish light up. And the funny thing is that most Irish will break out into a jig with little or no warning. The picture below is of my team members doing just that as I sat in my office going over last minute program schedules for the Grand Opening. I was allured downstairs to our cafe (where the staff eat lunch) and greeted with cheers! The Irish are very keen on everyone stopping what they are doing and joining in on the fun! Oh the carefree Irish life!
Okay...so many have been asking for pictures of the renovation project for our new office headquarters (
Lacken House). I am in the process of uploading some of those as we speak as well as photos of our Grand Opening which took place this past weekend. So much has happened...so sorry for the multiple post today. Also..I will be uploading all the pics on
Facebook...so if you are not already my friend...I would love for you to be!!
Above I am praising God for the donation of our new chairs. The ones before were literally falling apart. God knows what we need and when we need it!
Here above, Maxim is fearlessly
vacuuming or "hoovering" as they say here the dust and
debris left over from sanding. I tell you what...after this project I think there is a future for all of us in the construction business. We have learned how to hand dry wall, sand, paint, put in wood flooring, carpeting...you name it. God has blessed us with many skilled volunteers along the way who have lead us in the right direction. But we still need more help. Soon to come...the build out of our dormitories which will hold 100 people at one time! If you feel the Lord leading you...please contact me as we are looking for building teams...and finances to pay for that as well! :O) Currently we are in need of about 100,000 euro to complete that project! But again...God provides!
Here is the outside bit of the office location. To the right you will notice the office block. The upstairs are the actual offices and the downstairs is our meeting/conference room as well as our cafe, prayer room and laundry facility for those living on campus. To the left is the future home of the
Lacken House Dorms to hold 100 people.
Awee....the good ole days. Below is a picture of all of us in our temporary offices (bottom part of our office block which now serves as our meeting room. We do daily devotions, displays for prayer night, and very soon our staff Christmas party in this room. Also during events this room serves as the main meeting room for conferences and worship.
