God Keeps Providing
In the list of things that happened, I mentioned that we replaced our car. There’s a God story with that.
God provided this excellent car for us
When we arrived in Scotland last fall, there was a car waiting for us here. It was given to us by some friends who felt prompted by God to sow their car into what God is doing here. It has been a tremendous blessing to us for nearly a year as we settled into our new lives here.
That car had to go into the shop for some repairs. There were also some other items we knew we needed to get fixed so that the car would pass its MOT inspection which was due shortly. Passing the MOT inspection is a requirement for vehicles to stay on the road here.

We were praying about the right path forward when God told Lisa to ask me to call about an insurance letter we received back in the summer. I had taken out an insurance policy that was really more of a savings vehicle 28 years ago when I first joined the Navy. I forgot about it and in nearly 20 years of marriage it never came up until that letter arrived at our office in Colorado.
Long story short, there was enough money in that account to purchase an excellent used car!
God knew we would have this need and set the money aside for it decades in advance. And because we didn’t know about it beforehand, we were never tempted to waste it on something along the way.
God truly is our provider.
Those are just a few of the highlights from the past few months. As you can imagine, there is a whole lot more we could share with you about the wonderful work God continues to do here in Scotland. Hopefully you can see that God is expanding his Kingdom here through NewCREEations.
And that brings us to our…
