Welcome to Team Scotland

Hey thanks for checking out the page. Ben and Nate are really excited for you to be apart of their adventures in Scotland. If you haven't already check out the About Team Scotland section. You should get a good laugh out of that. Also make sure you check out our prayer requests and please pray. One of the most exciting parts of supporting us is prayer! Your prayers in the states(or wherever you might be) affect us all the way over here in Scotland. We hope to be updating every other Sunday so be sure to check back and see just what God is doing over here. Perhaps you'll read some great story or see a picture of how God has answered all of our prayers.

Scotland: Coffee Shop Gospel pt 2

Hi there! You are reading the words of Nate. The past few weeks has been pretty hectic, we've had 3 weeks of running a coffee shop and on the last week we ran the CYC by ourselves on top of it! We didn't have all that many unchurched folks coming in to the coffee shop much to our disappointment, but whoever came in that didn't know about God we gave a gospel of John.

At the end of last week we had an evangelist by the name of Al Terhune (http://takinit.org/) staying with us. It was an awesome time of ministry, we hosted a “kidz club” outreach and he gave the gospel and a bunch of kids got saved! About 3 adults got saved while he was here as well. He was definitely a very gifted evangelist, and his constant focus on the gospel really encouraged us. Almost everyone he came in contact with received the gospel! I've been praying for more open doors for the gospel in my own life and God has been faithful to answer that prayer.

Yesterday I went for a run and decided not to take my ipod (which I always bring) so that I could pray. As I was running I passed an older man who was walking his dog, he seemed very friendly and seemed to be enjoying his walk. I turned around at the end of my run and caught back up with him and his dog walked up to me, so I prayed “Lord open the door.” and He did! We got to talking and I found out that he was an ex-church of England guy who had been burned by religion, and now that he was getting older he was afraid of death and started thinking of getting back to church in hopes that he might get to heaven. We didn't get to walk very long because his car was only about a quarter mile away, but by God's grace I got to explain the whole gospel to him! He listened very intently and thanked me for telling him that and got in his car and drove off. I can only hope and pray that he called on the mercy of God for salvation once he got home, but I know for sure that God ordained that conversation.

The lost are all around us, God is sovereign, pray that He would open doors for the gospel and open the eyes of the lost through not only us but you as well!
