November Mission News Letter
Skye Bible Church has spent the last few weeks looking at missionary giving and preparing our hearts to be open to God’s message to us as a church and individual.
“This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.
Carrying out this social relief work involves far more than helping meet the bare needs of poor Christians. It also produces abundant and bountiful thanksgivings to God.”
2 Corinthians 9 v. 10 -12 (TM)
Yours in Christ Jesus

SANDRA AND ALAN SKENE
Sandra and Alan Skene who come from Kirkcaldy who have been living in Malawi for several years now helping with a feeding programme for the new borns to 8 year old children as well as providing support for the families. Sandra has run this and many Sunday schools which the children love. Alan has been spreading the good news and helping many young men come into ministry. We were introduced to them by our close friend and Apostle of the church, Samuel McKibbon.
OPEN DOORS
There are always Christians being persecuted because of their faith and others who do not own a bible or any spiritual material or who are unable to read these for fear of being caught. Here we have 'Open Doors' which aims to raise awareness and bring different types of support into these situations. Peter Prall keeps us informed about these global issues and has monthly meetings at his house to pray for specific and topical areas of need.
IN MINISTRY TO CHILDREN
We have learnt about Colombia which has been known as one of the most violent countries in the world. Despite it being rich there are large proportions of the population that live in poverty. Martin Plowman has a close contact with ' In Ministry to Children' . This organisation runs two homes for children giving them a home and education immersed in the love of God.
