The Lord’s Work & Workers

SCOTLAND

Northeast Scotland: The assembly in Lossiemouth had two weeks' gospel meetings at the beginning of March with Stephen Baker from Liverpool. Seven unbelievers came over the fortnight, some on numerous occasions. It was also good to see a number who are young in the faith and some backsliders attending regularly. All who were present were challenged by the Word preached faithfully and simply each night. During the day some home visits were made, and also a number of visits to the local primary schools at Lossiemouth and Hopeman. The Head Teacher of one school sent a letter of appreciation - an encouragement to all involved. As far as is known no-one professed salvation during the campaign, but three people seemed to be convicted. Please pray that God will bless them with His salvation.

The assembly at Forres intend having a series of ministry meetings from 10th-15th May on "The Garments of the High Priest". The speaker is to be Mr Malcolm Radcliffe.

Fife: In March the assembly at InnerlevenMethil had two weeks with Stephen Grant preaching the gospel. Some unsaved folk were present each night to listen to a clear presentation of the way of salvation, some coming several times. Children's meetings each evening were quite well attended also, and visits to a local primary school were well received. Pray that the Lord will bless this work in a needy area of Fife.

Scottish Postal Sunday School: The postal work carried on for many years by our late brother Arthur Pollard has now been resumed in a new format, using material produced each month by Bible Educational Services for the different age groups. The administration is being co-ordinated by Mrs Pollard with the help of a few committed sisters and a network of markers to process the materials each month. Any enquiries or requests for these new lessons can be made to Mrs Christine Pollard at 68 Alder Drive, Perth, PH1 1EU. Please pray that this work will continue to impact many lives, to the salvation of souls and the spiritual growth of believers.

Plains: During the last week in February the assembly hosted the Ayrshire Bible Exhibition. This was well attended by almost 450 children from local schools plus other children who came in the evenings. Many of the local villagers visited and were impressed with the quality of Scriptural information available. Immediately following the exhibition three weeks of Gospel meetings were held with brother Jack Hay preaching. The attendances at the meetings were not as good as previously experienced although there were strangers present most evenings to hear the gospel faithfully preached. At the end of the second week the prizegiving for the children's work was held with a good number of villagers present. During the last week of the meetings one 11 year old girl asked for baptism. The baptism was held at the end of March with a good number of unsaved present, including school friends and their families. Once again brother Jack Hay clearly presented the Word of God.
