People usually think that a missions trip begins when your feet hits the ground of the country or place. As a member of the Youth Life Issues team, the missions trip began the day we signed up to be a reflection of God’s love. Many people in New York asked me, “Why Scotland? Why don’t you go and support a third world country?” I told them, “God chose Scotland for our church to go, encourage the church and lift up His name.”
As the bus drove through Greenock, I saw the beauty of the town in its simplicity. Tonight we had the opportunity to celebrate the Remembrance Day holiday with the Greenockians. My team member and I decided to speak to some of the young people about the coming events of the conference. As I was speaking to them I realized why God sent us here. He does not look at the outward appearance, He looks at the heart.

I was led to look at your website this morning and have been weeping - tears of gratitude to God for answered prayer. It is wonderful to see this mission to Scotland. Scotland needs to rediscover the reality of Jesus Christ and to turn once again to Him through repentance and faith. May the Lord bless this work and may His perfect will be done in and through your mission team.

I am thrilled you are in Scotland as I found out in March 2009 that my mother’s side of the family are all directly from Scotland. When I came to Illinois in March I was handed a book of pictures from many relatives I never knew I had especially my great grandmother and great great grandmother (McPherson’s and Watt’s) from Scotland. I couldn’t stop reading about Scotland and now Times Square Church is actually called to be there! My husband and I are virtual members of Times Square and stream live Sunday’s and have wanted to be part of Times Square for 20 years. Being called to Scotland to be a light is especially rewarding to me. Maybe you are witnessing to one of my relatives!!! Love Debbie and Mike Copeland
