Hello again from the land of green hills, bagpipes and men in skirts. Sorry it has been a week since we've last written. It has been a busy week indeed as we have been chasing down houses, researching schools, attending YWAM meetings and just generally trying to get acclimated to the area.

As far as the house, it looks as though we may have found a place in the Stirling area. This isn't a definite as yet because our referenses must still pass the test, but it looks pretty good. The house is a detached cottage (which is amazing to find) in a part of Stirling called Causewayhead. The place is very small, but is in a good location for the kids and I believe a strategic location for the ministry.

Speaking of ministry, one of things that God has put on my (Marc) heart is to pray from the hilltops. The last couple of mornings I have been walking up to the top of the hill here in Clackmannon for excersise and to start my day in prayer. There are many hilltops and mountain tops here to climb so I will have much variety for excersize and prayer. One of the great things about the house we hope to get is that it is at the foot of the William Wallace monument hill. It was on this hilltop that Wallace watched as the English approached Stirling Bridge, where they (the english) would be defeated in the battle of Stirling bridge (1297 AD). This will prove to be not a place to bring glory to wars of long ago, but to live a life today as one that is passionate about the battle for the hearts, minds, and most importantly the souls of the people of Scotland. This battle though will not be won with swords, but with much prayer. (2 COR. 10:4-6; Zech.4:6)

PRAY FOR SCOTLAND!

More later.
