Dear Friend,

We are one day closer to being on the ground in Scotland ministering to hearts there! A whole lot has happened since our last newsletter. We have so much to share. To help, we’re announcing a new format designed to make it easy for you to find what you are interested in.

Our desire is to stay connected with you, to keep you informed, and also to not waste your time. Just scan through for the headlines that catch your eye to get to the good stuff quickly and easily.

We hope you enjoy the new format! Let us know!

Move to Scotland

We are one day closer to Scotland!

We are closer! A big step forward happened on August 18 when Andrew Wommack Ministries - Europe (AWME) submitted their application to the UK government to become a sponsoring agency for visas. This is huge!

Once they are approved (typically two months or less), then we can apply for our visas. We are super grateful to the office and staff in England for doing all this extra paperwork! Please pray for this application to be approved quickly!

“Thank you Lord for going before us and making our path straight!” We fully expect to be moved to Scotland and digging into the work God has for us there before the end of the year!

Here in Colorado, we met with some pastors who have ministered in several churches in Scotland. One of the Scottish pastors will be at their church later this month so we’re heading to Texas to spend a few days with them.

We’ll update more on that divine connection next month! It’s exciting to see what God has in store for us there.

God has provided a way for us to transfer our finances into the Kingdom of God’s system.

Did you know that the Kingdom of God has a system of finances that operates significantly differently from the financial system our world uses?

It’s true. Not only is that financial system of the Kingdom different, but it works much better than the world’s system too. Though I guess that should come as no surprise, right? After all God’s ways are so much higher than man’s ways.

It is vital that we have a Kingdom perspective about money.

Here's a list of some of differences between the world's system and the system God has for us in the Kingdom of God.

• Cursed vs. Blessed
• Buying and Selling vs Giving and Receiving
• Striving vs Resting
• Lack vs Abundance
• Fear of Loss vs Generosity
• Needs Based vs Faith Based
• Poverty vs Prosperity

Click through the link below to get a full explanation of each of those differences and learn how the Kingdom of God operates where our finances are concerned.

Financial Status and Partnership

We want to extend a big Thank You! to those of you who joined us as partners last month. NewCREEation’s primary objective right now is to get to Scotland, however you may have just learned that we also have an online teaching ministry working to share God’s character with others.

So this month, we have a testimony to share:

I just want to say THANK YOU for sending me your eBook! As I was having some quiet time with the Lord, I began to wonder "What Is The Difference Between Faith and Belief?" so I did a search and found you! The message is straightforward and easy to read. Thank you again - you're awesome to provide this material!! -- Marge

As Marge says, “you are awesome to provide this material!!” Givers to NewCREEations are making a difference in people’s lives!

We have experienced a strong increase in monthly partners and one-time gifts. The response has been amazing and we are so excited to watch God call hearts to come alongside us in ministering to the people of Scotland.

As you may remember, our financial goals are:

• $5,000.00 in monthly support (eating, sleeping, “in country” travel costs, computer upkeep, etc.)
• $25,000 for startup costs (flights, auto, deposits for rent, etc.)

Right now, we have almost half of the monthly support and for the startup, $5,300. Also, as we exceed the monthly goal, we will look into adding staff to further grow the ministry - we are filled with faith and know that God’s plans in Scotland are not small!

For those of you who haven’t yet, would you please consider and pray about being partners with us?

Another Answer to Prayer

Every day Lisa wakes up about five o’clock in the morning to a “meow.” Smokey has been our best bud for many years and what to do with him was a great concern to us. While at dinner, a friend said, “I’d like to live in your place, and I’ll even keep your cat!”

Smokey's glad that God even blesses our pets!

Wow! We are blown away by God’s love! He is taking care of every detail and taking care of our hearts in the process! Tannera will even watch over some family heirloom furniture for us as well.

Strange as it may seem, we are both pretty calm about uprooting from our “known world” to go to a place that we have visited but that is hardly “known”. We don’t know all the why’s and where’s and how’s. We just know to go and share God’s unconditional love and grace with the folks we meet.

It seems like most of those will be people that choose to attend the Bible college, but who else? A lady at the market or a mother and child in a park? We don’t know.

But God knows and we are trusting Him in this. It is a giant step, some would say leap, and it is good. Thank you for being interested and for caring and praying for us. May God’s peace be in your life as we sense that it is in ours. If we can pray for you about anything, please let us know. It would be an honor for us to get to reciprocate your care for us.

Blessings,

Chris & Lisa Cree
