Sorry for the delay in keeping you all in touch on this fine blogger site. Since our last update some interesting things have been happening. First of all we had a great time visiting the Canters for a couple of days down in West Kilbride. They're a great family from America working with YWAM Scotland in the National office. They're are great conversationalists (sounds like a political party or something) that we always end up talking with 'till the wee hours of the evening or morning. They also have three kids that Kayleigh and Liam just love to play with. Let's just say this family is a real blessing from God. Unfortunately Liam became ill with the flu at the end of our visit but after about five feverish days, he's beginning to act like himself again. Praise God for that!

Another unfortunate circumstance was that our IWT meeting which was scheduled for Ayr was cancelled because they had forgotten that day was Amistice day here in the UK. This is similar to our Veterans day, but there's more of a link to the church here. So, we'll have to reschedule that one hopefully some time soon.

On Friday we traveled back down to the Seamill Centre to give a presentation to the students that are presently doing a DTS. We also brought along Lance McKinney, the IWT national director for Spain. The objective in this meeting was to make them aware of the IWT ministry in case they might want to join along with us in some capacity. We'll see what happens.

The week ahead brings a YWAM orientation for two days back in West Kilbride and a follow up meeting for IWT in Kilmarnock. We'll update you on that later in the week.
I (Marc) have also been given the opportunity to help get the evening service at Stirling Baptist a little more together. I met with the senior pastor Alister Black, the other day and had a great conversation with him on a variety of subjects. Anyway, that looks like a great opportunity to become more involved in the church and he had some potentially great contacts for IWT as well. We've also been invited to sing a couple of songs and give a short message at the Motherwell Calvary Chapel next week for their prayer and praise for Scotland night. We are very excited about that opportunity as well, they're a great group of people down there.
Well, since I'm a bit tired after getting up really early this morning (3am) to take Frank and Becky to the airport, I'm going to sign off now. Hope you all are doing well and that you continue to breathe deep the breath of God.
See ya,
Marc
