In May our Charity assisted Harvest Baptist Church with their mission school. We had 30 people attending from the United State5 of America to learn about the mission field in
Scotland. Durlng this outreach we distributed 9,OIXI booklets through doors in Arbroath. The booklets provided extracts from the Gospel of John and St Peterfs Letter to the Romans, along with an invitation to our weekly bible study. We were blessed to host our first intern and a future missionary to kotland. During his stay he helped with ourtent meetings and the weekly minlstries at the churth. In June we started our tent meeting programme. Although we had planned to hold 6 tent meetings this year but were only able to complete 5. Throughout the tent meeting across the communities in Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie and Forfar we had a total of 80 first time visitors during these outreaches during June, July and early August joining with regular attendees. Late August and September saw our church prepare for the annual Camp Meeting in Arbroath. Over sixty people were in attendance from many countries across Europe. At the end of Ortober, we had a Bulgariaft meetin& when we were able to welcome four Bulgarians joining us to finlsh off the year, distributing booklets through the doors in Dundee and we had a great evangelistic meeting in the month of November. Looking on to the plans for 2025, March wlll see us have our Global outreach mlssSon conference with our guest preacher being Eric Kreh, missionaryto the Netherlands. so looking forward to the meeting and fellowship with him and his wife. Next up is the annual Mission school scheduled In May, where this yearfs plans are to distribute booklets in the Forfar and Kirriemuir areas afterthe May meeting. We will be hostingtwo Interns, one for a month and our intern from last year returning for the summer. He will be with us for three months to assist the pastor, as he has to have two hlp replacements, which could lead to extended periods of recovery. Due to that we must scale back on tent meetings due to a lack of volunteers. We have two tent meetings scheduled and will be supported bythe group "See the HaeSt°. They wlll distribute booklets durin8 the first week and unload our first shipment of booklets for the distrlbution ministry we are starting. We thought this was coming in January but will not arrive until June and are glad the 8roup will be here to assist. "See the Harvest" will be doing our first of two tent meetings this year. The second tent we have an evangelist and a pastor and his family comin8 to help do this and distribute our booklets in Brechin. Our Pastor has first hip surgery scheduled June with the second operation to follow towards the end of the summer this will be an interesting year in the church. We are also looking forward to our annual camp meetin8 in Octoberfollowed by another Bulgarian meeting in October as well this year in Arbroath.
