SCOTLAND Reports

Kinross: Two weeks of gospel meetings were held in May with Robert Revie as the evangelist. Before and during the meetings, the area was well covered with tracts and invitations, with some very good contacts and conversations at the doors. Unsaved folks attended the meetings each night, some came more than once, and heard a simple and clear presentation of the gospel. A few people continue to attend the weekly gospel meeting, and the believers work on and pray that the Lord will yet bless His Word to those who heard it.

St Andrews: Prayer is requested for the annual week of gospel outreach from the small assembly in this busy town during 30 July to 5 August, with Jim McMaster as the evangelist. Outdoor and indoor meetings are planned daily for children and adults.

Camps: July is a busy month for Camps throughout the country. Please pray for help in every aspect of these, including the safety and welfare of the young people on site and when travelling, the provision of keen and committed leaders and helpers, and for the guidance and perception needed by those who will teach the Word of God to the children and teenagers. As they are brought under the influence of the gospel by the spoken word, and with some of them away from ungodly homes and companions for a week into an atmosphere of Christian love and care, pray that the Lord will touch and save many in the early impressionable years of their lives, and that young believers may be challenged and encouraged to live for Christ. From north to south, Camps are planned for three weeks at the Shetland Camp site, for five weeks at Faskally House, Pitlochry, with different groups from Ayrshire, Tayside and the Postal Sunday School, and from Aberdeen and the Northeast. Also another Ayrshire group will be using Hamilton College, and a group from Ladybank, Fife intend to travel well south into England for their Camp.

Lockerbie: Joe Baxter conducted a two week gospel campaign at Ebenezer Hall, Lockerbie during the month of April. Prior to the campaign a special leaflet was distributed to every home in Lockerbie. A number of unsaved attended the meetings. One man came in response to the leaflet and was obviously affected by the gospel message. Joe visited him at his home and he made a profession of faith. He returned on other evenings and said how much his life had changed. He has been attending the assembly gatherings. There was also a Friends and Neighbours Hour on the two Thursday afternoons of the campaign where hymns were sung and refreshments were given, followed by a short gospel message from Joe. Eight unsaved attended the first week and ten the second week. The assembly are planning to continue with this meeting on a monthly basis on Thursday afternoons.

One married woman, long prayed for, was saved. A sister in the meeting faithfully brought along an unsaved person who lives in the district and she too professed Christ as Saviour and Lord. The assembly was encouraged in that two professed to be saved and also through hearing the gospel clearly presented. Prayer is requested for others who showed an interest in their soul’s salvation.
