REACTIVATING A<br />

MISSIONARY NATION<br />

Gideon's army were crazy. 300 against the Midianite hordes - utterly bonkers.<br />

Stand on the top of a hill with a torch, clay jar and a trumpet - obviously deranged.<br />

How can the Lord be reactivating a missionary nation when the odds are so clearly<br />

stacked against us. When the church is in such massive decline? When the society<br />

is rapidly abandoning our Christian heritage? When all the indications are that the<br />

church in Scotland is to shut up shop and give up? The answer is that in this time<br />

the Lord God Almighty is raising up a new Gideon's army. Those who have the<br />

eyes of faith; those who have courage and passion for the Lord; those who are<br />

willing to launch out into impossible ventures because our God is a God who<br />

does impossible things.<br />

It is time for a new army like Gideon's to arise again in Scotland. Our hope and<br />

prayer is that this conference will become a rallying point for such a group. We<br />

pray that this time together will be catalytic for you as you imagine a future<br />

transformed by our amazing God!<br />
