A massive low pressure system went over Scotland through the night and into this morning. The Forth Road Bridge which I crossed yesterday had a high wind speed of just over 90 miles an hour. The highest recorded wind in the highlands was over 140 mph. There is also a huge tidal surge going down the eastern coast. This is the biggest North Sea Flood in 50 years. The sea defenses are going to face some big challenges. So, please pray for the the UK and for God to use this to awaken some hearts.

Our service tonight was a blessing. The husband of the lady with breast cancer was with us tonight. His wife had more tests today and will find out those results on Tuesday. Please continue to pray for Violet. They are both sweetly trusting in the Lord. 

I enjoyed meeting Pastor Edgar for lunch and handing out Christmas tracks in Dundee today. Pastor Edgar made the tract and it was well received by the shoppers. The Lord gave two very good witnessing opportunities. Please pray for Charles and Craig. Charles (upper 30's) and I spoke for about 20 minutes as I showed him Scripture verses. I had begun by asking him why he thought God would allow him into heaven. He turned the question back to me and asked how I would know. He seemed to be a sincere seeker. Please pray for God to open his eyes.

Craig (late teen) was another evident divine appointment. He and I talked for over 20 minutes. He asked great questions. "What would you say to someone who believes in the big bang? What would you say to an atheist? If there is a God, why is there death?"  The Lord blessed again and I hope to hear from him. He put my number in his phone. Again, please pray for God to awaken this young man's heart.

God's good. It's fun to see him open doors. Please pray for Pastor Edgar and their ministry in Dundee. We handed out several hundred tracts today.

The ladies' Christmas Bible study went very well. Thank you for praying. There were a total of 5 ladies and 2 girls. They had a lot of fun. I'll put some pictures below. One of the dear ladies who came is a older Christian who visits our church. Her husband recently had surgery. She found out today that she has breast cancer. They are going to do other scans this week. She has a sweet Spirit and said, "I'm in His hands." Would you please pray for God's super abundant grace for she and her husband? Thanks for your intercession for our ministry.

PS. Those of you who receive our email prayer letter have already found out that Katie is expecting our 6th. She is 13 weeks along and doing very well. I thought I had better get it on the webpage, so that you aren't surprised if I refer to it. :) We appreciate your prayers for her and the baby.

Our faithful group was present today and the Lord gave us a good day. Thank you for praying for my voice. It wasn't strong but it was sufficient. I thought perhaps we would need to cancel the service tonight but we were able to have it. It was a lovely Sunday here with very mild temperatures and sunshine. God's good. We enjoyed our day.

I trust that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the day as a family. Our house is now decorated for Christmas and we are excited about this busy month of ministry.  I didn't do door to door today as I am recovering from a cold. I'd appreciate your prayers for my voice. I'm preaching tomorrow on, "He Would Not Save Himself" from the Matthew account of the crucifixion. Monday is the church ladies Christmas party. Please pray for Katie as she get's ready for that. Thanks for praying and following along.

I started putting out our carol sing flyer today. I wasn't out long but the Lord gave me one witnessing opportunity. I also spoke with a woman who indicated a desire to visit the church. It seems quite possible that she will come and visit us. Please pray that God will meet her needs as she recently lost a loved one. 

We want to with you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and trust the Lord will give you a great day!

My how the time flies. I feel like we just brought in 2013 and it's about to go out. We are excited about Christmas Eve because we have a Christmas Carol Sing service on that night. It's always a special evening and we're looking forward to it already.

We had good attendance today. It was a blessing to have some back with us who had been away for a little while. I preached this morning on "Soul Prosperity" from John's friend, Gaius, in III John. We're anticipating a fun evening as we have our Children's Choir practice and our study in Acts. Thanks for praying for our ministry.

I forgot to mention that we had a first time visitor on Sunday. The Christian young man that I met at a shop came and visited. He and I had an unusual divine appointment where the rack holding the car mats broke as I was hanging up a set. I don't often ask people if they are believers but the Lord had me ask him. It was a joy to have him visit our service. 

I also forgot to mention that the men's prayer breakfast last Saturday went very well. We had a good group and a good prayer time.

The Lord gave me a good witnessing opportunity yesterday. Thanks for praying for divine appointments.

We just got back from Biggar. It was a lovely drive through the countryside.  We met Ron at the church and he showed us around. Please pray that God will give wisdom to them as they pray about God's intent for that property. They have seen the Lord do some neat things with that property since buying it 18 years ago. If God allowed us to assist in keeping a ministry use of that facility, we would prayerfully consider doing a Sunday afternoon service there. Thank you for praying with us and with them about this.
