It was a Guinness day in Scotland (think Guinness Book of World Records, not beer!)
I had lunch with a few church leaders in Wick, Scotland. We ate at Mackay's Hotel, made famous for it's location on the smallest street in the world, Ebenezer Place (6 foot 9 inches...the size of the front door!)
During that meeting I found out that DL MOODY (one of my evangelist heroes of the 1800's) preached in Wick!! He's named on a plaque of "noteable guest" to visit, including President Grant.
And in meeting with pastors and doing a "launch" service for the Christians one thing became clear.
We need to pray for salvation across Scotland (and all of the UK for that matter). I spent the day with heroes...men who are giving their lives for the Gospel and seeing little result. Met with two different pastor's who've served their churches for more than 15 years. Both have 50-60 people attend. Yet their hearts cry out for God to sweep people into His church.
Here's a picture with me and Pastor Stuart. He's just one of the faithful men praying for and serving in Thurso. Pray for him, and every Christian in Thurso, Wick and the other towns and villages in the county.
Pray that God would move in power across Northern Scotland and save many!
Pray for the festivals we'll be holding their and other towns this June.
Off to Lochinver and Inverness for the next few days. Appreciate your prayers....
Hey Jose,
Awesome to read your reports. What is the date in June that you will be returning to Scotland? Let's keep in touch.

I pray God will multiply the efforts of godly Scottish pastors 100 fold!
