Back in Scotland

In case you haven’t heard the wonderful news, WE ARE BACK IN SCOTLAND! We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors and prayer warriors (both old and new) for your commitments to us and to the ministry that God is doing through his people in Scotland. You truly are a blessing. Listen to how God provided for us through his Church!

We left Scotland for Chicago early November with just over $600 of our $2000 support goal committed. This support goal mark represented the absolute minimum support we would need to stay and work with the Mosaic Church plant (no savings or extra expenses of any kind, etc., but enough to keep us afloat for a good while). To raise about $1,400 in 7 weeks seemed at times like an insurmountable challenge, but we believed and trusted that God would provide. It turns out God did not need seven weeks, he did it in five!! I cannot thank you all enough for investing in the vision and the passion God has placed on our hearts. May you be forever blessed.

So what are we up to now? Well we have hit the ground running. 

Ashley is back at work and everyone there is so glad to have hear back. She was given the opportunity to work from the States while we were support raising which was a huge blessing. Ashley’s boss has been more than understanding in this hectic time. Please pray for the relationships Ashley has with her colleagues ane her time in the office.  It seems that a good relationship is growing between Ashley and Nic and Ashley’s boss and wife. Please pray that we would connect with them and show them Jesus through our life and actions. Also please pray a HUGE blessing over Hutchinson Networks and the business for 2013-they have been so good to us and they deserve to be blessed for it.

Nic is excited to be back and get things rolling with our ministry. He will be reconnecting with the Mosaic leadership and finding out exactly what is needed to move forward and how he can further assist them. He is also reconnecting with our Missional community members and getting caught up on life and the past two months. We are hopeful and anxious to see what God is going to do through these missional communities. Nic is also anxious to get back to work on our garden project and is hoping meeting with other community development partners to see how he can better our neighborhood and Edinburgh in general.

All in all, we are ecstatic to back and cannot wait to give you more updates on what is happening.
