spend all of this summer working with Dublin
Christian Mission and Katie Armstrong (left)
will join Nikki for one week at the end of
July.
Nikki Lunn and Katie Armstrong from 1st Lisburn Presbyterian
Church will spend some of the summer working with Dublin
Christian Mission (DCM), a non-denominational, evangelical group
seeking to relate God's love in word and deed to the poor and
needy people of the city. Under the DCM banner, Christians of
evangelical faith but of differing denominational backgrounds
come together for the purpose of bringing Christ to the
multitude. This is done through after school programmes during
the year, mother's groups, family work, homeless ministry and
summer camps.
Nikki has been working with the Mission since Sunday 3rd June
and will be there until the end of August. Katie will be going
from Sunday 29th July to Saturday 4th August. They will be
helping with summer camps at Rathdrum (Co. Wicklow) where each
week, a different age group of young people will come for a
break from the city and experience the love of God through
session times, outings, activities and chill out times.
Nikki will be responsible for the training and development of
junior leaders who have been involved in clubs throughout the
year. She will be the speaker at Senior Girls camp and for the
teens at one of the Family Camps and for three of the camps she
will be responsible for a tent of girls/young people throughout
the week.
Katie will assist with younger children on one of the family
camps and will be responsible for leading sessions for the
children while their parents are in the adult sessions. There
will be times of relationship building with the families and
looking after the children when the parents want some time to
reflect and relax during the week.
Nikki and Katie will be working with young people and families
from marginalized communities of Dublin City. They request that
people would pray for the young people and families coming to
each camp to ensure that they will truly encounter God afresh
and experience His love to a new depth. They also say that DCM
is always looking for volunteers (especially during the summer
weeks of camp) - for more information visit the website at
