Follow up Saltcoats College

Saltcoats college says:
"We have just spent two weeks on demolition work, taking down the area of the building that had become unsafe and we are ready to rebuild when the money comes to hand. Right now, we are looking for immediate support of £10,000. We have a £25,000 bill that needs to be paid imminently; £15,000 has been received already but the remaining £10,000 of this installment is now sought with some urgency – hence the need for this communication to those who might feel minded and able to help. If you feel led to help us we would be awfully glad of a quick response. Cheques, large or small, payable to the “Come back to God Campaign” will be very gratefully received at the address below, but do please get in touch to discuss Gift Aid, any queries or to arrange a visit.
The area that needs to be rebuilt – the ‘Sun Lounge’ is a main thoroughfare of the College, if we cannot rebuild this structure, whilst replacing the walkway roof, and securing disabled access to our Lawn area, we will not be able to continue the work we are engaged in for the Lord Jesus in the same way. We have prayed, fasted and brought this matter to many praying friends, we have also sought to earn the revenue required for this rebuilding venture through taking on outside print jobs and using all the skills amongst the team to earn money. But we are also now dependant upon the generosity and stewardship of our friends, supporters and brothers and sisters in Christ. If you will invest in our work today, you will help us continue to tell others about Jesus, to teach and train people in healing and deliverance ministry and to reach out to this nation of Great Britain and bring its people back to God. Your prayers and financial support are needed today.
Thank you so much."

Kierkegaard goes to the doctor

Soren Kierkegaards been to the doctor. This is what he said.

Victoria station

Returning from a meeting in London I am taken aback once again, by simply the numbers of people in the City at any one time. Thousands of people travelling by the underground. The variety of styles, cultures and faiths represented in such a small space. Yet there is still the eerie silence,... the avoidance of eye contact and the ability to avoid a new relationship. For all these people and all these cultures God is available and continues to make access to them. But the eyes avoid an encounter that might challenge and show any falsehood, they prefer in someways to remain in their non-relational rat race. Victoria station so important if you want the Gatwick Express to the airport at Gatwick. Direct route to the terminus for one's journey. Jesus the Christ direct access to God, despite what many would indicate in there lifestyle or verbal stance.

Sheep Rustlers in Sutherland ?


Two weeks ago this headline took front pages news in the Northern Times. Apparantly its not the first time over the last twenty years that unaccounted high losses of sheep have been noted and recorded in the Bonar Bridge/Rogart area. Strange how no bones were found.

A need to be met!

Sun Lounge project pictures
As you know I am not in the habit of putting round requests, but I thought if some of our contacts and other connections could help - Tim and Ben would be delighted.

Hey Lets further the Kingdom Now.

I have had a communication from a friend who said to me this morning:

Tim said to Brian Robertson in Rogart

Ben, my son, is over at Saltcoats where he graduated from Bible College last autumn. He's stayed on in the Come Back to God Campaign and I'm trying to help him raise £50k or thereabouts urgently to tackle some structural collapse that hit the building. The were blessed with £16k received a couple of weeks ago but the builders have got on well and will need the next £25k instalment next week! They have faith in the Lord's Provision and Will but know too that we are His Hands and must take the necessary actions.

Do you mind having a look at the attached, think/pray if it's any good, and if you're happy sending it on to your Christian networks to seek any support that might be out there?

Any input would be great!

Tim
