The Lord gave me a great divine appointment last night at the mall. I was purchasing an item and gave the clerk a tract. She said, "Is this Christian?" I said that it was. She said, "My boyfriend just became born again." I said, "That is wonderful. What about you?" She said that he was encouraging her to get saved but that she had not yet. I had a great short conversation with that young lady. Please pray that she will trust Christ. It was a blessing to hear of a young man who had recently accepted the Lord as his Saviour.

I had another divine appointment yesterday morning with a young man whom I speak with regularly. He said that he has tried to come to faith but feels like he can't. Please pray for God to draw him to Himself.

Katie's ladies' meeting was well attended and a blessing to those who came. Thank you for praying for her ministry Monday night.

I enjoyed putting flyers out today with a missionary friend of mine, Don Dillman. He and his wife are filling in for other friends of ours who have a ministry in Edinburgh. The Lord gave us one brief opportunity to chat with a man who was gardening.

Tomorrow morning we have a revival prayer meeting for minister's in our area. We'd appreciate your prayer for God's blessing upon that time. 

Thank you for praying! 

Due to our holiday being adjusted to last week, our Ladies' meeting was rescheduled for this evening. God has blessed these meetings and they have been well attended. Please pray for God to bless His Word during these monthly meetings. They are normally the first Monday of every month.

I put out flyers for a couple hours this morning and had some brief opportunities to chat with people. It has been a gorgeous sunny day and many people were outside this morning. As I walked I enjoyed listening to two messages by Pastor Bill Lytell and one by Evangelist Matt Downs. They were all just what I needed.

Last night I looked at our small congregation and thought, "God is just as pleased with our worship as the worship of great congregations." I want to be faithful with what God has given us no matter how insignificant it seems in men's eyes. We're thankful for what God is doing. Please continue to pray for God's power in our ministry.

It is good to be back doing what God has called us to do. The Lord gave us a good morning although our attendance was low today. I preached a topical message this morning on "Evangelism Excuses." Please pray for those under our ministry who still need to obey the Gospel themselves. Please also continue to pray for divine appointments. Thank you for your prayers for our ministry.

The Lord gave us a wonderful family holiday over on the South West coast of Scotland. It was good to get away and now it is good to get back home. I'll put a few pictures below. 

The Lord gave us a great mothering Sunday. The weather was lovely and there was a good spirit in the service this morning. I enjoyed preaching a mother's day message on "Laughing with Sarah." We took the question "is anything too hard for God?" and were reminded that 1.) God can provide children 2.) God can provide for children 3.) God can provide for children in law. I don't often encourage you to listen in, but I think this message would be an encouragement to you if you have the time to listen in.

We are rejoicing still in God's goodness in providing our vehicle at just the right time. God is so very good to us. Thanks for praying.

Praise the Lord, we are mobile again! I just got home (7pm) with our vehicle which was reassembled today. God helped us move our vacation back a week and got our car ready just on time. Thank you so much for praying. God's timing was just right! 

The Lord has helped us to get the flyer out to all of Loanhead. There are around 2500 mail slots in Loanhead. So, that only leaves us with 7500 remaining flyers! 2500 is a good start and I'm thankful for what God has allowed us to do. We are going to be leaving on vacation soon. When we get back we will begin putting our flyers through some neighboring villages. I'm also looking forward to getting into Edinburgh as Spring arrives. I'm also hoping to put it out in villages that are more distant from here.

We still hope to have the car tomorrow. I spoke with the mechanic this morning and he still hopes to have it up and running this week. We have now been without a car for over 5 weeks. We are going to feel a sense of liberty when we are mobile again. Thank you for your prayers.

Brother Carl is doing a bit better. I'll put an update below which his wife posted yesterday. Thank you for praying for them.

We've almost put the flyer through all of Loanhead. I went out yesterday and put out a couple hundred. Don Dillman and I put out a couple hundred more today. If I get another chance this week to get out, I should be able to finish. Thank you for praying for this flyer.

"He is settled and must say Prayers were answered. The Heart Specialist at the A&E told Carl that God was truly with him. He responded far better than they expected. He's been put in the Cardiac Care Unit where they are working to get the fluid in his lungs out. Thus far Carl can only sit up on the edge of a bed but the medications are making progress. Wednesday he is scheduled for a scan of the heart to see what damage has been done. Thursday an angeogram is scheduled as they believe he has constricted veins. Your prayers mean so much. I'll keep you posted. Again, thank you."

Please pray for friends of ours up in Aberdeen, Carl and Leta Miller. Brother Carl has had a heart attack and is now having heart failure. His wife has put the following update on facebook, "He has had a heart attack at some point in the past few weeks & now has heart failure. His lungs are full of fluid. They have given him a pump with an intravenous drug to open his veins & given him several blood thinners to help drain the fluid from the lungs into his kidneys since his heart can't do it. I haven't seen the cardiologist yet. They had several emergency admissions this morning & since he has been stabilized at the moment, they have gone to help the others. 

He has complained of breathlessness the past few weeks after carrying a box of groceries in that was heavy. He had the 'sharp' pain then that they say was probably the heart attack. If you do not get treated soon as a heart attack hits, the heart gets more & more damaged with time until it 'fails' & can't do what it's supposed to do. He has had pain in his chest off & on for awhile since lifting the box but would play it down to me. He didn't want me to worry!!!! Even last night he wouldn't let me call an ambulance until he felt led to call himself this morning at 6. If he had just kept putting it off he wouldn't have lived!!!!!!!! I asked the Dr if he would pull through & he said they don't like to say. !!!!!!!! So, they told him they will probably do an angiogram tomorrow, but not sure. So, we just have to wait. Please tell everyone to pray for him. I couldn't live without him!!!!!"

Well, last week the heat wouldn't go off. This week the heating is off. There were two space heaters but they weren't quite enough. We had a good morning despite the temperature. I preached this morning part two of "Grace is Teaching, Are You Listening?" from Titus 2:11-12. I've been challenged by what grace is teaching as I studied and preached on this passage. Thank you for praying for God's enablement and blessing upon our ministry today.
