Arbroath Town Mission Centre Guestbook

Grace and peace be unto you from God our father and from the lord Jesus. The endtime mission of Hope of Zion ministry is a non governmental, and non profit oriented evangelical ministry that is propagating and proclaming the original gospel of our Lord. The church council and board of trustees in a special meeting yesterday , unanimosely result to send the under listed evangelist on a missionary trip.

We therefore plead indulgence in Christ Jesus and humbly solicit for a copy of holy bible for each of them. The board however regret every inconviniences this issue may cause, both to your person, family , and ministry. We promise to sow a seed of faith in you ministry in future. We therefore employ you not to allow past castastrophe to defile your love and devotion to faithful brethren and christ Jesus.

In the late 1950's, one Sharon Lee Anderson of 2343 38th Street of Rock Island, Illinois USA corresponded with one Maureen Fairweather whose address was Sheriff's Court House, Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. I know Maureen married at age 18 (or so) and I believe she taught school. She sent me heather, the Andersen Tartan and a broach with an antlered deer within a circle.

I'm now 57 and finally traveling to the UK. Because of those long-ago letters, my husband and I will make a trip to Arbroath around September 14th or 15th. Even though 45 years has passed, I'd like to be able to say hello to my pen pal. I realize that without her married last name, I probably cannot find her, but perhaps someone at her postal address will remember her family and have a contact for her.

Thank you in advance for any efforts you are able to make.

I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know Arbroath had a mission centre as such, although I went there on holiday every year (sometimes twice a year) from the time I was 4 until maybe 2 or 3 years ago (I am 17). It is a beautiful town! I hope your ministry is richly blessed.

Did the mission centre have anything to do with the kid's Christian events, beside the swimming pool at the beach that I know were held a *few* years ago? Whether your group or another Christian group was involved, I don't know but I used to go when I was at the paddling pool with my family on holiday. It was my earliest contact with Christians, and alongside my first veturing into a church when I was 8, prepared the ground in my life for the gospel to take root and me to come to faith. I have been a Christian now 4 years, and though there was a gap of some time between going to the thing at Arbroath as a v. young child and coming to faith, I feel it did the prepare the way in a sense, as I was from an unchurched (nominal protestant) background. I am actually involved now (past 2 years) with a weekly "playpeace church" run in my home church, St Columba's in Foxbar, Paisley, by YWAM. It caters for a wider age range, 4-12, but the difficulties and disencouragements must be similar - we might see things happening sometimes, but in the long term we will maybe never know which if any of the children we work with will accept Christ.

Anyway, sorry for the long guestbook entry and everything! Still, I only wanted to say that if your group was involved at all, or knows those who were involved in the group that met beside the paddling pool, I want to pass on my heartfelt thanks. The group, at my early age, prepared a road at least in part, for Christ to eventually enter into my life. So, there you go :)
