THE LORD’S WORK & WORKERS<br />
SCOTLAND<br />
Ayrshire<br />
Ian and Mary Robertson in Auchinleck now have<br />
7 men in their rehabilitation unit. M was baptised<br />
and came into the assembly fellowship last year<br />
and is doing well, but B and D have lost the way<br />
again – they and others need lots of support and<br />
prayer. The Robertsons are now exercised about<br />
opening a residential rehab unit for women and are<br />
investigating possible properties in the town.<br />
After more than ten years the Drop-in-Centre<br />
café has been closed as the numbers attending<br />
had steadily decreased. Many precious souls<br />
were exposed to the love and grace of God there,<br />
received kindness and heard the gospel. Some were<br />
saved and are going on for God serving Him locally<br />
and in other parts of the UK. Eternity will reveal all<br />
that God was doing through the ministry of that<br />
wee Drop-in-Centre — a light in a very dark place.<br />
The Charity Shop continues to provide work for the<br />
lads in rehab, and gives added opportunity to get<br />
known in the community. Mary has built up many<br />
friendships there; some have attended meetings<br />
and one woman has been saved and baptised and<br />
regularly attends the meetings in the hall and at<br />
their home. It also makes a financial contribution to<br />
the Helping Hand Trust which was set up when the<br />
rehab work was established.<br />
In the assembly at Auchinleck there were baptisms<br />
in July. A few weeks later a lady, who had made a<br />
special effort to attend, said she had trusted Christ.<br />
Since then she has been regularly at the meetings,<br />
and on a few occasions her husband, too, has come.<br />
The “parents and toddlers” group has proved to be<br />
a great success, with children having to be put on<br />
a waiting list as the group are unable to cope with<br />
any more. Many good contacts have been made<br />
through this work and there have been some great<br />
opportunities to share the gospel. During the Easter<br />
and Summer school holidays separate weeks of<br />
