Once again, a big 'thank you' for supporting the PWAMM outreaches and Ministry. We do genuinely value your support, both financially and in prayer.

Thursday

The PWAMM team has been working together with Rev Alasdair Macleod and the congregation of Lochbroom (Ullapool) Free Church.
The Challenger 3 Outreach Bus was taken into Ullapool town at lunchtime to receive a mixed reception at the primary school.
There was also a mixed reception for the team as they went to the school gates to speak to the parents.
Despite this, 31 children turned up at the first night of the kids club held on the bus; a good number for the first night.
The Team also held a short time of open-air testimony and praise in the town centre.

Sounds interesting - certainly using a high tech bus is a neat way of bringing the Christian message to a high tech generation! The thing that powered the Reformation (so some people believe) was the development of printing - the high tech of its day. There are just one or two comments in the article that are slightly troubling however. Could anyone shed further light on these: 1) a "mixed reception" at the school. normally when I hear this expression, it is used when there is hostility as well as a welcome. Was there really negative reactions to this? 2) Under the prayer points it says:"For a pulling down of the spiritual and new age strongholds in the community" Is Ullapool and the area really badly affected by New Ageism? I know it is found everywhere these days but is the Loch Broom area particularly bad for it? Just intrigued thats all!

Indeed, The mixed reception was the result of considerable complaints from parents after the previous visit by the bus. Our schools have a duty to teach religious EDUCATION and the facts about religiou. (Or the total lack of them) It is NOT a place for religious PREACHING. There is little educational value in teaching Grimms Fairy tales and the Santa Clause story to primary school children, so why christians feel that their fairy tales are more important beats me?

Hello there Ullapuddlian, I'm not sure that anyone has been able to write off the historical figure of Jesus Christ as myth and fairy tales. Indeed any attempts to do so would cast more doubts about the person than about the Man of Gallilee.
