SCOTLAND Reports

Camp Work: Please remember in prayer the many camps planned for July and August when a large number of children and teenagers will hear the Word of God taught to them on a daily basis for a week at a time. Faskally House, Pitlochry, will be the venue for five weeks of different camps from Ayrshire, mid Scotland, Tayside and the North East. The Fife camp will travel to Suffolk, and others will be in rented schools in central Scotland. Pray that many young people will trust Christ for salvation, and that those who do profess salvation may be challenged to take further steps of faith and obedience to Christ in their teenage years. Much sowing has been done in Sunday Schools, Bible Classes, and Children’s meetings in many localities over many years. May the Lord grant a time of reaping to encourage all who labour in this way, that these young people may be saved and preserved from a godless and evil world. Pray too that camp organisers and leaders may know divine wisdom to deal with problems which often arise, and that all may be kept in safety all of the time.

Fort William: Prayer is requested for a gospel campaign planned in the needy town of Fort William where there is a very small assembly seeking to continue for God. Dan Gillies intends to pitch his tent there and commence meetings on 8th July.
