April 29th UPDATE

Please keep Patti and I in prayer as we fill in over the next 6 weeks for other pastors.

I will be teaching here in Dunfermline on Sunday as Ken and Evie take a few days off in celebration of Ken's birthday.

Then I will be teaching at Calvary Edinburgh for the next following 5 weeks. Just pry for me to be emptied of myself and filled by the Holy Spirit to deliver the Word He has for this congregation. Patti will be leading worship as well so pray for her be receptive to the Holy Spirit as well as she plans worship sets and leads worship.

Please continue to Pray for a part time job for me. Or that our income increases through donation... however the Lord choose to provide is fine with us. The job situation hear is notany better than the states, but there are openings... I  think that there may a bit of discrimination going on but I don't know for sure. 

Please pray for Mark and Trish. Trish is a single mom. Mark is 15 years old, unsaved, mostly willing to come to church with his mom. He has been stuggling lately with his mouth. He "swears out" his mom, is finding himself in trouble at school, etc. I believe he is being bullied... but it could patially be self induced. please join me in praying for Mark's salvation. He and I have a pretty good relationship. He tells me more than I would ever confide with anyone at any age. Pray for me as that in itself is a burden.

Pray for Patti and I to get a Newsletter out... there is always something that comes up as we try put it together.

April Update

Ireland... thank you for the prayer support. 

The Ladies trip went very well. They had a number of opportunities to minister and share the Gopel. Patti was blessed to see friends and make new ones from our Grass Valley Fellowship.

The Men's trip went very well as well. We poured a tons of concrete (actually 63 tonne) moved masses of rock and had great fellowship. We had one lad with us that had been coming to DCM events since he was 7. Now 24 his desire is to be a pastor and continue to work with intercity Kids in Dublin. So he found what it was like to be a pastor by hanging out with myself, Duane Triplett, and Jeff Alaways... Lord help the children of Dublin!

I had my Job interview! It went very well. We took time to pray for the men of Scotland, to pray for the interview process and that the Lord would lift up the right person for the job... I don't know if I will get the possition but it was a great time, and great contacts. Please continue to pray as we have not yet heard anything.

Please pray for our financial situation. We are getting to the point where I need to get a job if the support does not increase. (this is not a plug for you to give, or give more. you are prayer warriors and I ask for that alone.) I know the Lord knows what we need. So I guess be in prayer for me to trust Him more... and know how to proceed in the job search. (jobs are hard to come by and I am a minority old person)

Please pray for Elisa Scott as she heads back to AZ to head-up the childrens ministry in Cottonwood. Pray for her parents here who will miss her deeply.

Please pray for me as I will be filling in for the pastor of CC in Ediburgh as he goes on holiday for 5 weeks. Pray for wisdom as to what book or letter to teach. Pray for Patti as she prepares to do worship there.

Pray for the people here in Fife. Pray that we can be effective ministers of Jesus' love. Pray that we have opportunities to minister within the community.

Please pray for Fiona and Dave... Fiona has been coming to church for a couple of months. she ahs not made a decision for Jesus... Yet! She wants to "make sure before she makes a commitment." Her husband Dave has moved out of the house. He came to church once and only stayed through half the service. There is a major battle going on for their souls... please pray.

More as they come to mind.... Blessings
