All of Friday was devoted to spending time with the McKinneys. We have always wanted to spend more time with this family, but our time together was always short spent because of our missional duties in Ballymena. This time was different; we had an entire day to just hang out....and that is exactly what we did. They picked us up and we headed to Newcastle, a place I have always wanted to visit but never had the time. As you can see in the pictures Newcastle is a seaside town with beautiful scenery.

Norma and Nolan have always had a strong bond because of their love of working with young children. They always had a blast singing children's songs together on the pitch where we held Vacation Bible School for the Dunclug Estates.

The whole day was wonderful as we spent time with our friends in Christ. It is neat to see how God just places in people in your life with such a strong bond and connection. May God truly bless the McKinneys and their devotion and service to our Lord Jesus Christ.
