Day 2: 2025 Ireland
Connecting with Tiglin
We woke up this morning feeling rested and eager to see what the Lord will do this week! Our day began with a team devotion led by Anastasia Campbell, who reminded us that God has always gone before his people, preparing the way.
From there, we visited both the men’s and women’s Tiglin facilities. This was a day to build relational capital with the residents, and it was such an encouraging time! The men’s facility, nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, and the women’s, located near Brittas Bay, each had their own distinct beauty, reminding us that God is present everywhere.
Later, we visited Rise at the Cove, a coffee shop Tiglin established in Greystones. This shop provides employment and work experience for Tiglin’s aftercare residents. Greystones itself was breathtaking, a glimpse of God’s beauty in creation and his creativity through his people.
Tonight, we gathered with the Tiglin staff for dinner. We feasted, laughed, and enjoyed rich fellowship, to the glory of God!
