SCOTLAND Reports

Cullen: George Forbes spent the last week in October with the assembly. In a well attended monthly meeting in Portknockie on Lord’s Day evening he told how he came to know the Saviour, advertised as How John 3.16 Changed My Life. Children’s meetings were held each evening Monday to Thursday. A lad brought much joy to all by trusting the Lord Jesus after the second meeting. A visit to the local school was arranged, something that the assembly had not tried before, but will certainly be repeating, Lord willing, as brother George was so well received. Prayer is valued for the children’s work during the winter, also for the next Portknockie meeting (November 27th) with brother John Grant.

Forres: During June to September, the assembly has been able to complete the annual tracting of 17 towns and villages in Moray, and also a large part of Forres. Numbers coming to the gospel meeting are picking up again. The profitable week of Bible Readings and teaching was preceded by much earnest prayer. Larger numbers than usual attended the meetings which were conducted by J Hay and I Jackson, and many expressed their appreciation of spiritual help received.

Sam Matthews reports that letters of thanks and appreciation are still coming in from those who have received the Words of Comfort booklets. One lady has asked for some, also Strength for the Day, to use with discretion in her work among sick and bereaved. But there are adversaries seeking to disrupt - pray for this work while the door is still open.

Please pray for these young people as they attend regularly each Friday from September till June. There has been blessing over recent years in some being saved and baptised.

London, Hope Hall: A gospel campaign took place with Stan Burditt from 11th-18th September. The campaign was preceded by distribution of 5,000 invitations, which also included a Freepost free Bible offer. Each night there was at least one unbeliever in the meeting, with a total of 14 different people attending during the campaign. Each day, four men went door knocking. Throughout the meetings one or two young men remained outside inviting people in and giving out gospel tracts. Please pray for the nine people who have requested a Bible or Ultimate Questions as a result of the Freepost offer. Please pray in particular for a young Romanian lady who came to six of the eight meetings to hear the gospel message. She was given a Bible which she gladly accepted. The assembly was greatly encouraged by the response during the week and look to the Lord for His blessing and further help in the testimony.

WEST MIDLANDS

Birmingham Northfield: F Lonney gave a report at the Home Workers Report Meeting in October. He spoke of taking the gospel to the Shetlands, Cumbria and Shropshire, together with plans to distribute "Seed Sowers" in Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.

Coventry, Upper Hill Street: The Conference was well attended with ministry from J Buchanan and M Penfold. The ministry was appreciated and the saints were helped.

Redditch, Batchley Estate: A children’s campaign with I Campbell saw a most encouraging number of youngsters in each night. Visits were made to local schools. I Campbell also gave an illustrated talk, on one of the Saturdays, on the subject of "The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Fact or Fiction?" This was most valuable, especially for the young people.

Solihull: The Annual Conference at Lode Lane was a time of excellent ministry from W Banks and I Rees. W Banks stayed on over the weekend, and gave help in ministry on the Monday evening.

Stoke on Trent: B Sutton ministered from Colossians 1 at Fletcher Road following a series of visits to assemblies in South Wales. A refreshing time of ministry to uplift and encourage spiritual exercise.
