So if you support us in any way(prayer, finance, emotional etc.), this one is for YOU!
It is a privilege to live and work in Aberdeen, one we do not take for granted. It is because of the incredible generosity and obedience of some amazing people that we can do this. And I thank GOD for you all.
Aberdeen is a city with an abundance of natural resource. There has always been a major money making industry here because of its God given properties, from paper to fishing to oil(sorry... energy... Aberdeen is moving from the "Oil capitol of Europe" to the "Energy capitol of Europe", sounds greener I think...). So the fact that people from Northern Ireland, the rest of Scotland, England, Texas and Colorado help us stay here is actually counter cultural(in many ways) and counteracting the spiritual dynamic of self dependence in the city. It is not wrong for Aberdeen to have so much resource and to use it, it is God given, but it is wrong for that resource to become a dependence mostly because God is reduced to a margin and not His rightful place as Lord.
In the words of a fantastic song(sung over and over by Zoe at the minute...) Our God is a great big GOD! And we would do well to increase Him in our lives.
Thank you for supporting us in all ways and helping to increase our view and vision of God.
