Last Wednesday and Thursday Patti and I had the privilege of spending some time with Pastor Louie, Cheryl, Lindsay, and Kelsey Monteith. The are all involved with GO! Ministries, our sending organisation.
Lindsay was off to Bible College in York so the whole family came to get her settled.
They took advantage of the time to visit a couple of Go! Missionary families... Patti & I, as well as Scott & Danielle Key in Shotts, Scotland.
Patti and I traveled with them to Shotts to see the Keys. We got to sit in on their Bible study and meet the awesome folks they are ministering to and with.
Its so encouraging to see these young Brothers and Sisters on fire for the Lord and wanting to reach their communities for Jesus....
We spent part of the day in Stirling visiting the castle and taking in the beauty and history of the area. I still get overwhelmed by the vast history here. Besides... What little boy didn't imagine himself as a knight in shining armor fighting dragons and the dreaded Black Knight... but I digress...
It was a great source of encouragement to spend the time with Pastor Louie and Cheryl. There was no real agenda, but just time praying together and sharing what the Lord was doing here and hearing what the Lord was doing with missionaries elsewhere was just what we needed. We also got to know them better and really feel that they are persons we can turn to if the need arises.
Kelsey and Lindsay working their compassion skills on the locals...
it looks like flirting to me....
The Monteiths had the opportunity to meet a number of people from our local congregation, and worship the Lord together with us Thursday evening. Isn't fantastic how we can come together and worship and pray like we are family and yet have never met before... God is so awesome.
Note to self: Save the list of GO! Missionaries to desktop and pray for at least one each day... Get e-mail addresses and send letters of encouragement at least once a week.
