Another change came at the beginning of this year. We had been meeting in the town hall every Sunday afternoon for a Bible study time. It seemed that God was beginning to lead us in a different direction.We hadn't seen anyone come to our Bible studies for many months, so we began to pray about what God would have us do. Continue with the Bible study group or rent a building and begin holding traditional services?
Right around the corner from where we live there was a laundrette, or as we know it, a drycleaners. It has sat empty for as long as we've been here. Don inquired about it and found the owners were willing to let us rent it at a very reasonable rate. It was not ready for immediate use though. It's seems that God kept it for us. It had been sitting empty since they had purchased it, some years ago. At one time they had plans to make the rooms into an apartment, but they never got around to it.
We have a sign up, and some work has been done. A carpet still needs to be laid, a wall built, a bathroom installed and two doors need to be put up. Hopefully this work will be done by the end of July.
There has been some waiting with plans needing to be approved, etc. We are getting there and looking forward to beginning holding services at Moray Coast Baptist Church.
Don has also been involved in two one-on-one Bibles studies during the week. It will be exciting and interesting to see what God does with these two men he has been meeting with.
We are also holding Bible studies in Inverness (about an hour away) every two weeks with a few families. This is simply an extension of our ministry here. Our ultimate goal and desire is to see a church established here in Lossiemouth.
