Going Out into all the World (Scotland)


Today was a day of preparation as we started by “boiler room” prayer time. (The term comes from when Spurgeon and even Moody had people in the church praying for the ministry and they were in the downstairs boiler room.) So we all picked a time to spend an hour in prayer and devotion for the outreach ahead. It was a great time, some got up at 2am to prayer for an hour others 3am etc. The all had some extra time to sleep in this morning, devotions weren’t until 9am. Afterwards we went out in the city all over – inviting the families and children to the HBC (Holiday Bible Club). And then we went back to the church to set up, organize and practice for the children as Carol and company made us lunch. We are asking God to do a HUGE work next week and we are confident that He will! The locals are very inviting and very friendly, everyone has a story to tell, and some have quite a few more. The team is anxious for Jennifer to join us tomorrow, and think Connie & I are too. (I guess that would be kind of obvious huh?
Great pictures to show you too, check out the photo gallery… Keep on praying!

Hi All,

Wow! You are actually there! Just seeing the pictures expresses your excitement with what God is going to do next week at Holiday Club and perhaps has already done. We missed you all last night at bible study- we had an awesome message and worship from Matt W. about abiding in Christ (John 15)- and a good turn out of kids! I am so excited for you all as you spread the gospel to those who so desparately need it. Keep your eyes on our Lord and Saviour and we can't wait to hear your excellent report! I am praying for you daily.
In God's love,
Laura E.

The pics are wonderful. It's awesome to see God using you to further His Kingdom. I'll be praying for a great turn out for Holiday Club. Many of you served at CCPC VBS this summer and it was a hit because of everyone's hard work. Keep it up!

Hi there team! Hope today was great! We can hardly wait to see the posting for the first day of HBC. God bless you all. Yesterday Calvin's dad helped to rock the house. We had an awesome worship. Pastor Ron seemed to be extra encouraged in his message too! We were in John 13, and the study started with Acts 4:13. Maybe in your down time you can read it! ha ha ha. God Bless you all! Look forward to the stories and pix! :D
