Hello All
We wanted to take a few minutes to thank you all for your
support and prayers over the past year as we have been living and working in
Edinburgh, Scotland. We feel truly blessed to have worked alongside God’s
people to advance his kingdom in this city. We firmly believe that through our
work immersing ourselves in our community, we have built a solid foundation for
the continual development of the gospel here. Without your support and prayers,
this would not have been possible.
However, at this time we feel strongly that God is telling
us it is time to come back to the States. There have been some difficult
factors that have influenced this decision. Some of these include continually
functioning on inadequate support, instability in Ashley’s job, and otherwise. These factors
have caused some emotional and spiritual damage to us individually and as a
couple. Though these have been difficult times, through prayer and seeking the
wisdom of others, we now see these things as affirmation of God’s leading
elsewhere.
Our time and experience in Edinburgh has forever changed our
lives. It is amazing how God has shaped and changed our plans in Edinburgh
several times to fit his purpose. It has never been more clear to the both of us
that we will forever we involved in “missional ministry” and this is due to
what we have learned and gathered from our time here.
The remainder of our time here will be dedicated to
continuing to build up our community in Leith and making sure others here are
ready to take up the torch. We will returning to the States in early September
and will be staying in Indianapolis for the time being. We asking that you
would you consider supporting us through the month of October as we get our
footing and settle back in to life in America. If you cannot continue to
support us, we understand, but please inform us as soon as possible.
We would love to talk to more. If you have questions, please
do not hesitate to contact us. Again, thank you so much for your support and
prayer. Please keep us in your prayers as we being this transition.
Love you,
Nic and Ashley
