Yesterday the Pillar International Conference concluded at 1:00 PM, the conference was a blessing for us all. We deepened connections with our partnering churches and built a few new relationships. We have many pastors to pray for and the evidence of God working is great.
Today our team is headed to Hawick in an area called the Borders to work Martin Smith’s church. They are working on their “new” building and we get to help clear out a few things. We will be working with several church members and provide lunch for all that come to serve today.
As our week comes to a close and we prepare to head home please pray for our travels and our hearts as we leave this place we love

Yesterday, May 21st, the conference officially kicked off in the afternoon, and the team made the most of the opportunity to connect with numerous Pastors and ministers of the Gospel. A challenging sermon based on Ephesians 1 was delivered, followed by inspiring testimonies from several Pastors who have successfully planted churches globally. Lunch and dinner were shared at the conference venue with over 120 attendees, representing 26 countries across four continents. The evening concluded with a walk through Edinburgh, then back at our apartment the team members shared their individual conference experiences. We also recognized Heather and Michael’s 21st wedding anniversary, they got to have breakfast together and spent time together on a walk before the conference.
Today, May 22nd, we began the day with a time of team prayer before a beautiful walk through Edinburgh garden park on our way to Charlotte Chapel (20 minute walk). The rest of today will be at the conference 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Prayers are requested for the development of deeper relationships with current partners and for the establishment of new connections that could lead to short-term projects with churches in need.

Today we are serving at Glenrothes Baptist Church with Wade and Leslie Clark. This is the Christ Centered and Clear one-day conference they host each year before the Pillar International Conference.
We were able to help with setup and registration. Michael and Hayden will lead worship.
This will be a full day of teaching sessions for us with lunch and a time of connection with other pastors. We will stay for dinner at the Clark’s home this evening before heading back to Edinburgh tonight.
Pray for the team’s energy, we are all pretty tired, but really excited for the day ahead!

We arrived with almost no travel trouble. Just a sprint through Charolette Airport and catching our flight by just a couple minutes. Otherwise we made it to Edinburgh with all of our luggage.
Friday evening we had dinner and grocery shopped then got to sleep early. Everyone was very tired after 33 hours since our last real sleep.
Today, we will be with Christ Church Queensferry spending the morning in the park connecting with the community, prayer walking the neighborhood and encouraging the church. This afternoon will be with Adam and Judith McNinch, and dinner in their home.
Isac is dealing with some sickness still, pray for him as we have several busy days with little rest. The team is doing great! We are excited for the ministry days ahead.
