I still have one more week of work and then two weeks off before my DTS (Discipleship Training School) starts, but I’ve moved up to the Belfast YWAM base which is where I’ll be for the next 6 months. It came as a bit of a surprise to realise that my friends weren’t speaking figuratively when they said it was on the peace wall – it literally is part of the peace wall between the Shankill and Falls with metal grills over every window.
It’s taking a bit of getting used to; having to remember at what times the gates in the peace wall open and close. I honestly thought such things were in the past, which probably just shows how sheltered I’ve always been from the troubles in this country.
I’m really enjoying living in the house with the YWAMers. I think there are about 9 guys living in the house at the minute which includes a team from Hawaii, so it’s a bit hectic trying to get into the bathroom sometimes, but there is something great about being around fired up, healthy Christians. It’s contagious.
I know this is where I’m meant to be and I’m excited.
