Nairn Mission - Day 4 - Thursday


Today's lesson was the Parable of the Lost Sheep. As an illustration of the lesson, a toy sheep was hidden in the room. The children learned that each one of them is valuable in the Lord's sight and that He rejoices when even one lost sheep returns to the fold. The drama further emphasized that the Lord does not give up on us, even in our disobedience.

The mission team had a most unusual afternoon. Dave Eglinton invited us to meet a fellow believer for teatime at his family-owned lodge in Loch Ness. We spent a couple of hours discussing the role of Christianity in mainstream life in the US. The young man was extremely interested in Young Life, has a heart for youth ministry, and wants to start a Young Life-type organization in under-served areas of Scotland. We strongly encouraged him to use us as a resource for further dialogue.

In the evening, we celebrated Scottish traditional music and dance with a Ceilidh.
