Killaney and Carryduff Holy Week Mission to Romania
A team of sixteen parishioners from Killaney and Carryduff are in Oradea, Romania for Holy Week, to work on a Habitat for Humanity Project in partnership with the Caminul Felix Orphanage Trust.
The Parishes first became involved with Habitat for Humanity (HFHNI) through one of the Select Vestry taking an interest. When Revd Willie Nixon became rector he urged the parishes to become more directly involved with the work of Habitat, having been involved himself for over 15 years.
This is now the second team to be sent out from the Parishes. In October 2008 a team went to Hungary. Carryduff is now a Hope Builder Church, which means they are prayerfully and financially committed to HFHNI. This is a tremendous opportunity for Churches to be doers and hearers of the Word.
It is so encouraging that seven of the team members on the Holy Week Mission team are members of the Select Vestries of Killaney and Carryduff. The team is all–age, ranging from 19 years to 70 years.
The work will be physically challenging as they hope to complete one home of three homes being constructed for orphans who are now moving into adulthood.
Please pray safety in travel and on the building site for this team and give thanks for the work of Habitat for Humanity NI, and especially for their CEO Jenny Williams, a member of Hillsborough Parish.
