Scotland update email.

Dear family and friends,

I hope you are encouraged to know that your prayers are being answered and God is (still, as always) faithful! I want to share with you something that has been encouraging me throughout this process of trusting God to provide for my Scotland trip.

It’s kind of like a father telling his 10 year old son, “we’re going to Grandma’s house!” and the young boy worrying about how he is going to afford his plane ticket to see Grandma. That’s ridiculous. The father is telling him that he is going. It’s pretty obvious that he is going to provide. To be worried would be very silly. [Thank you for this analogy, Melissa!]

After 6 mission trips, I still have to make a choice (over and over) to have faith. God IS still faithful. He never changed. I hope this encourages you to have faith that whatever God calls you to, he will provide for. To worry would be silly. Completely trusting God seems risky, but it’s the safest place we can be.

Matthew 7:7-11 says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! “

I leave in only ten days and I only have a few hundred dollars left to raise. Needless to say I am so excited. I am praying that God moves and has His way in Edinburgh and with our team.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and financial support. Thank you for being a part of God’s work in my life and in Scotland. I pray God would bless you in every way and you would take the “risk” of completely trusting in Him.

God bless you!

Lindsay
