MONTEITH'S IN SCOTLAND

Hi everyone. The Monteiths are in Scotland. Why are we in Scotland in January? For the sunshine of course! Ha ha!! Well, Lindsay is going to study at the Calvary Chapel York, England Bible school extension campus. So we thought that we would accompany her and on the way visit our GO! missionaries in Scotland. We flew into Edinburgh yesterday and will hang out with Scott and Patti Worth today who serve at Calvary Chapel Dunfermline. I'll post more pics of our trip so I invite you to keep coming back to view them. Thanks for your prayers!!

(Psa 67:7) God shall bless us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.


Okay, so this is a statue of John Knox, the great reformer of Scotland. He preached uncompromisingly and even challenged Mary queen of Scots to follow the Lord. We are in St. Giles church in Edinburgh where he preached.



This is the John Knox house just about 1/4 mile from St. Giles. Knox lived here the last 18 months of his life.


Okay, I know this is weird but Kelsey wanted me to put this robe and hat on and act like John Knox writing.



Inside St. Giles is a stain glass window of a scene from the gospels of Jesus preaching. At the bottom it says that it was dedicated to a certain Duncan Monteith by his two daughters. (Monteith is a Scottish name from the Graham clan. My great-grandfather came over from Scotland to the U.S. through Ellis island. The family made their way to Wisconsin and then to Los Angeles.)
