Many people participated from both America and Scotland.
Pure Joy Ministries, Builders For Christ, Globe Missionary
Evangelism, Church of the Good Shepherd, Liberty Church,
Charity Chapel, Liberty Christian Fellowship, New Testament
Church, Brownsville Assembly of God, and many others
from other churches came over and worked on this first
phase.
Many churches here in Scotland also sent workers to
join with their US counterparts. His Family Church,
Rock Community Church, St. Patrick's, Old Kilpatrick
Church of Scotland, Elim Family Church, St. Mark's
Church of Scotland, Radnor Park Church of Scotland,
Clydebank Churches Together, King's Centre Motherwell
and many others put in long hours and hard work on
this phase.
We have seen many churches in both countries contribute
to the financial side of this as well as holding us
up in prayer. To all we are so grateful! And there
is still more to be done! Phase Two is due to start
shortly and we hope to have many others join together
in this project.
Phase Two.
Phase
Two will consist of renovating the Basement
area of the house. This area requires very extensive
demolition. That means we can tear stuff up! That's
always tons of fun and believe me, there's a ton to
be done! We will also begin working on the grounds
at this time.
We need those who are skilled in plumbing, electrical
and carpentry as well as those who just like to get
in there and work beside others. Gardeners, have we
got a challenge for you! 98 acres of parkland and
gardens to be lovingly upgraded and renewed. We will
be renewing walking trails and building park benches
and gazeboes as well.
The folks over here in Scotland are looking forward
to meeting new friends from the US and I know you'll
enjoy rubbing shoulders with them as we work together
to impact the many thousands of young people and others
in this area. This next phase will also involve more
ministry opportunities as we reach out to the many
hundreds of visitors to Overtoun House from the surrounding
community.
Please pray about what part you and your church might
have in this project to bring Hope And Healing to
the people of West Dunbartonshire! Youth Groups as
well as families and individuals and church groups
are welcome and needed! We will provide opportunity
to sightsee as well!
Thank
you all for your support of this project so far! We
hope you will find a way to work with us to reach
those who desperately need Christ and healing in their
lives! I believe you will be stretched and blessed
through your participation in and with Overtoun House
Christian Centre! Please contact us for any further
information you might need and we we'll look forward
to working together with you to extend the Kingdom
of Heaven to this very wonderful but needy people.
God Bless and let's spur one another on to love and
good works!
