Thank-You
Know that I am so grateful to you for the support you have
shown to me this year on RELAY. I wouldn’t have been able to
do it without you.
I know its nice to get a wee newsletter updating you with all
that’s going on over here in Dundee but it can get lonely at
times and it would be great to hear about things that are going
on outside of life in UCCF: how else God is at work. Please let
me know how I can be praying for you (no matter how big or
small it may seem!!)
One final thing I would ask you to pray for is my life after
RELAY. I have the opportunity to spend a year with IFES in
student ministry in another country and would have to apply
for this before the Christmas break. I have been wrestling
over thought and prayer in it a lot lately. It seems like the
obvious step but pray that it would be God’s will for me to go,
not my own.

Prayer letter Oct/Nov 09 tel: 07841709984

Hello! I hope this letter finds you well. The
darker winter nights seem to certainly be
setting in and glove season here in the
bonnieland has definitely begun.
The first experience of this being my venture
a little further up north to Aviemore for the CU
weekend away. There were 82 students in
total who came along to this and Lizzie,
James and myself were roped into the
catering end of things…
This seemed a little crazy at first but we
had fun together, getting to know
eachother a little better and just being
able to serve the students in such a
practical way! Unfortunately we weren’t
able to spend as much time, on a one-to-
one basis with some of the students, as
we would have liked however, we were
really encouraged by the teaching they
were getting.
Sam Alberry (whose book: “Experiencing Life” is available to pre-order on
Amazon) spent the weekend covering teaching on the Cross and Jesus’
resurrection. A little “basic” you may think at first, but only by being brought back
to the cross, do we realise the real life God has given us through Christ.
That because of Christ’s death, we are ALIVE! We are renewed in Him:
transformed from nothingness. We have a rightful status before God and a
purpose to life. This means our everyday attitude changes, our concerns and
affections change (yes-even in those wintery months) - we seek to live for Christ.
As Paul writes in his letter to the Colossian church:
“Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your
evil behaviour. But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through
death to present you holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation.”
