My Dad, Arvin Devers, had the wonderful privilege of baptizing George. George had been saved in November and was ready to take this important step soon after. He seems to be enjoying the discipleship program that began soon after his conversion.

Not one program has been advertised that refutes Darwin’s theory with the Biblical view of Creationism.

I thank the Lord for the opportunity to share Bible truths each week with the children in my Sunday School. For most of them, Sunday School is the only place they hear about a Savior who loves them, a God who created them, and the hope of Heaven.

We held another Children’s Day on February 1. 22 children attended. We played games and shared a salvation message. Several visitors have come to Sunday School because of that day.

Occasionally, the wind blows so fiercely that highsided vehicles are not allowed to cross the bridge. They must make a detour of many, many miles to arrive at another bridge which will take them across the water. As we work, there are times we find the Lord sending us in a totally different direction than the one we had been following. Our

2. Traffic Jam

If you are unfortunate enough to be caught on the bridge during rush hour, you may be sitting for awhile. Sometimes we feel like we are treading water. No matter how hard you work, you just do not seem to get anywhere.

3. Normal

Then there are the great times when you cross the bridge without too much traffic or being buffeted by the wind.

I praise the Lord that He allows us the normal, fruitful times in the ministry as well as the windy and slow times.

I have a big praise to share with you!! One of the children in Sunday School shared with us that she had prayed at home to ask Jesus into her heart. After further questioning, we are fully convinced she knew what she was doing and that her salvation is secure. Praise the Lord!!!

We have been led to pray for the people in Abbeyview street by street. As we pray for the street, we knock on the doors and tell the people we are praying for them. We ask them if they have any prayer requests. Most of the people tell us that they do not need prayer, but, occasionally, we are given a request. This has given my Dad, Arvin Devers, many opportunities to present the plan of salvation. Please pray that our efforts will be rewarded.

My Dad has updated the church web site. You can view it at www.abbeyview baptistchurch.co.uk.

I praise the Lord for the opportunities He has given me over the past few months to declare His works.

On June 7, we held another Sunday School promotion for the children. Even though the attendance was not as high as we had seen previously, the children who did attend seemed to have a great time.

We always include a presentation of the Gospel. The above picture is of my Dad, Arvin Devers, and his helpers. The cards are demonstrating the false ideas people have about The Way to get to Heaven.

On July 6, I had the wonderful opportunity to

The above picture shows me holding up an example of the craft we did after the Bible story. I told the children the Pineapple Story. This story is about a missionary who had to come to the realization that everything he owned belonged to God before his work could really flourish.

We have been distributing many, many tracts as weather allows. Below is one of the responses we received from a tract:

This has not stopped us or slowed us down from continuing our tract distribution. Please pray that the Lord will reward our efforts.

I praise the Lord that the appointment with my oncologist on July 15 resulted in a good report. He saw no indications of cancer re-growth.

Many, many thanks to all of the churches and individuals who sacrifice to allow me to serve God in Scotland and declare all of His works. I know that many of you are going through hard times because of the current financial problems. You are in my prayers

Liam is another soul that you will never meet here on earth, but you will meet in Heaven one day. What a day that will be when you see how important your prayers and financial gifts were in adding to the family of God!!

We will be having the church’s annual Christmas banquet on December 13. This has been a great way to bring people into the church who would never visit on a normal Sunday.

We will have a 20 minute video presentation called “God’s Greatest Gift Ever” which will be followed by a meal.

Please pray that the Lord will use this day. Please pray that we will have many people attend and that these attendees will see their need of salvation.

It was an exciting day, but we saw the Lord work in every detail of the preparation and execution of this fantastic outreach.

Even though there were no professions of faith that day, everyone in the room heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. Everyone also left with a DVD copy of the video presentation which had been shown. We have had some feedback saying that these DVD’s are being watched.

That means we were not able to have our regular church services. Even though we worshipped in our home, this was a huge disappointment.

Please pray that the Lord will provide a building for us to buy or rent. We really need access to a building 24/7. There are so many more outreaches we could have if we had a building of our own. This would take a real miracle, but we serve the God of miracles.

The picture on the left top of this letter is taken of a neighborhood not far from the building where we hold services. As you can see, there are hundreds of homes in just this one photo. Please pray the Lord will help us reach these people in 2010!!

We are excited about the great things God will do in this new year. Please pray for the following:

• 1. A building
• 2. Souls saved
• 3. Tract distribution

This month marks the 20th anniversary of my parents’, Arvin and Marsha Devers, arrival in Scotland to begin their missionary work. The picture above is of our first prayer card. It is hard to recognize some of us!

I want to take this opportunity to thank them for their faithfulness through all of the triumphs and challenges that have been part of their ministry. I pray

Seeing someone saved is definitely the best part of my job! I thank the Lord for the teenagers who recently prayed to be saved because of the Sunday School ministry.

I was given the all-clear by my oncologist last month. This August will be the allimportant five year mark. My chances of recurring cancer go down greatly after that.

Please continue to pray for our building situation. We really need a place that is available for our use 24/7. Please pray the Lord will send us to the exact place we need.

We have been holding Bible studies this month in a village down the road from us called Kelty. These Bible studies require a lot of work, but they enable us to find people who are interested in learning more about God and the Bible.

There are several things we must do to prepare for these meetings:

The most challenging part of the preparation is the invitation distribution. We personally deliver the invitations through people’s mail slots. This requires a lot of step climbing!

We will continue to hold Bible studies in the area villages. Please pray that the Lord will lead us to those who want to know more about Him

I am grateful that the long, dark days of winter are ending. The sun is coming up around 6 AM and not going down until 6:30 PM. It is wonderful to see some flowers blooming and to not feel constantly cold.

Many thanks to you all for your prayer and financial support. I know many of you currently have economic problems. It makes me appreciate your generosity even more.
