RETIREMENT and Covid came at around the same time for Liz and myself. We had just moved house, settled in the leafy suburbs of Lurgan in our Tigin Beag (wee small house) when the pandemic arrived. In many ways, we surprised ourselves by thoroughly enjoying the time of lockdown, when the house and three quarters an acre of garden could be got in order, and had come to appreciate the quietness. It was at a Divine Healing Ministry meeting in June 2021where we were asked to testify to healing in our own lives, that we found ourselves being prayed for by someone who ended with these words; ‘I think the Lord may be saying that you will be asked to do something you don’t expect, which will open a door of blessing for you.’ We pondered these words in our hearts, and it was those words which resonated when I was asked to assist in a church in Leipzig for six weeks during an interregnum. That was the beginning of a journey of real blessing!
