We enjoyed having a first time visitor yesterday. We have known this man for several years and it was a blessing to us to have him visit. Our attendance was not high yesterday as we had some with illness and others away. But, the Lord blessed our services. I preached yesterday morning on Joshua 2, A Sinner Like Me. 

We had some wonderful opportunities to share the Gospel on Saturday. Kay Lee went with me as we invited people to visit our church.

God is very gracious to encourage our hearts and to help us to know His blessing. Thanks for praying for our ministry.

Most of you are probably aware of the debate that took place last night between Ken Ham and Bill Nye. I wanted to put a link on our website for those who would like to view it. WATCH THE DEBATE

This morning was a very mild morning to get out and about. I put out flyer this morning in our old neighborhood of Eskbank. I enjoyed visiting with some of our former neighbors. We love our new community of Loanhead but wish we could have moved some of our old neighbors to this area as well. God has given us some very special friendships in both locations.

The Lord gave us a good morning. Our children's choir sang this morning. It's fun to see the kids participating in ministry. The song, "Sail On," which they sang was written by Ron Hamilton. It has a good message challenging believers not to quit. I preached a topical message this morning on "Reason Why I Didn't Tell You About Jesus." Tonight we continue our study of Acts and have our monthly communion service. Thank you for praying for our ministry!

Logan and I had a great time together as we invited people to visit our church. It was blustery and cold. But, we found a good indoor location where we could speak with folks. The Lord gave us one great opportunity to share God's Word. Please pray for fruit for our labors.

Below are two pictures of a tiny little agate. It reminds me that God cares about the little details of his creation. If no one had ever found this agate, God's creative beauty would have still been impressed upon this little stone. This stone is only about a quarter of an inch across. I'm glad that the God Who cares about details also cares about me.

I've put out flyers twice this week. This morning I was in an area that is attached to Loanhead. The Lord gave me one ministry opportunity with a man whose wife used to attend our church. He is facing a very serious health crisis. Please pray for God's merciful intervention. I tried to encourage him in the Lord. I gave him a Bible a couple years ago as I visited with him in the hospital. I hope that he will start reading it and find the Prince of Peace whom he needs.

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that Katie is struggling a bit with insomnia. We think it is pregnancy related. I know she would appreciate your prayers for her to get much needed rest. 

Tonight we have our midweek service. We've enjoyed our Thursday night services. We'd appreciate your prayers for our ministry this evening. Thanks for praying.

The Lord gave us a good Sunday. There was a sweet spirit in our services and our attendance was good. I preached yesterday morning on Joshua 1:1-11, "Be Strong." Interestingly, God commanded Joshua to "be strong" three times as He placed him into his new position of leadership. 

We were blessed to have Pastor Richard Weaver preach in our evening service. He is a good friend who ministers about 20 miles from us in Livingstone. Their family is currently back in the States on furlough, but Brother Richard was back in Scotland this week. It was good to see him and benefit from his ministry last night.

Thanks for praying for our church. I pray for those who pray for us and trust the Lord gave you great services yesterday as well.

I've just finished putting flyers through a nearby village, Rosslyn. This village is connected by a walking path to Loanhead. I enjoy taking walks out in that direction. (There are pastures with sheep and a nice view of the Pentland Hills.) I put flyers out yesterday morning and this afternoon. All told I think I put around 800 plus flyers there this week.

The Lord gave me a few short opportunities to speak with people this afternoon. The best opportunity was with an older man who was working in his garden. (That sounds warm but it was pretty cold out with a stiff breeze.) Please pray for God to bless His Word and that it would reap a harvest.

Parker's (6) fever is finally going away. He's definitely much better today. He's been running a fever since last Thursday night. (It went over 104 last evening and has been up there several times this past week.) So, we are very thankful to see him beginning to get well.

I was able to put out Gospel flyers for a couple hours this morning. I listened to three messages by Evangelist Mike Redick as I was walking. It was just what I needed today. Please pray for God to work in the hearts of those that have read the flyer.

Our church has just begun uploading our services to sermon audio. We welcome you to listen in and would appreciate your prayers for God's power and blessing in our ministry.
