I'm moving to Scotland.

I'M MOVING TO SCOTLAND.

I announced this back in September, but haven't really talked much about it since then. It's because I had to do things like graduate from college. Now that I have, and details have been worked out, I can tell you all about it.

I will be moving to Fort William, Scotland to work with Kilmallie Free Church's youth group for one year.  I'll be leading small groups, discipling girls one-on-one, and participating in other aspects of church ministry.  It will be very similar to what I was doing during my time there this past summer, but it will be for a longer period of time.

Fort William

The goal is for me to be there by this June.  That's 93 days from today.  I have to raise about $3,750 for each month that I will be spending in Scotland.  I'm just beginning this support raising process, and I'm excited to share that I'm already at 10% of my support needed for the year!

So. Here's the deal. In addition to my usual (and rare... sorry) blog posting that already happens, I'll be using this blog to share stories about my journey to Scotland.

This is the plan:
-Prayer requests will be posted on here.  I recently received an email from Kiki and Anna MacRae (the pastor of Kilmallie Free Church and his wife) giving me a bunch of things to be in prayer about.  I will be posting those soon, and would love to have you jump on board and pray with me.
-I'll fill you in on the support raising process, sharing how God is providing the money every step of the way.
-Once I get there, this will be where I will keep you updated with what's new.

To the right of this post towards the top of the page, there is a banner that says Emily Morris Serving in Scotland.  (This was made by the lovely Megan Walter.)  If you click on it, it will take you to Kilmallie Free Church's website where you can find out more information about the church.  Under this, there is a banner that says MTW.  If you click on it, it takes you to Mission to the World's website where you can learn more about the organization I will be going through.  (Also, you can make donations there... just in case you were wondering.)
