Scotland Update- My heart and 63%.

Have you ever loved a place and the people there so much that it makes your heart ache?  That's pretty much how I feel every. single. day.


"My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go."
-Robert Burns

The countdown is on.  School starts in Fort William on August 15th, and I want to be there.  I am currently at 63% of my TOTAL support.

Here's the breakdown:


70 people giving $25/month
35 people giving $50/month
17 people giving $100/month + 1 giving $50/month
8 people giving $200/month + 1 giving $100/month + 1 giving $50/month

Basically, I still need a lot.  God has graciously provided 63% in just 4 months.  I fully believe he can provide this last 37% in a month and a half.  


How you can pray:

For me:
- That 100% of my funds will come in by August.
- God has done so much to prepare my heart to leave Chattanooga and my friends and family. Please continue praying that when it is time to go, I will be totally ready.
- Part of God's preparation has been teaching me to trust and giving me more patience than I've ever had before (which was never a whole lot.)  Please pray that I continue to trust in his provision and perfect timing.

For Kilmallie:
- Pray for the students at the church.  Most of them are attending Free Church camps or vacationing this month.  Please pray that God will continue to work in their hearts and keep them safe.
- Pray for the building project, that it will continue going smoothly.  Go here to see pictures!
- Pray for the MTW interns that are there through the end of July.  Pray that God will continue to use them and that doors will be opened through their ministry to further his Gospel.
- Pray for Kiki and Anna MacRae as they continue to minister to the congregation of Kilmallie Free Church and to make connections with people throughout Fort William.

I'll leave you with this little gem that was taken on the last night of small group last June.

I can't wait to get back to these girls!
