By Lea Devers, Our new BIMI missionary to Scotland

Even though I have sung the old hymn “Blessed Assurance” my whole life, it has only been recently that I really concentrated on the chorus:

“This is my story,
This is my song,
Praising my Savior
All the day long.”

The story the Lord has written for me over the past three years of deputation is an absolutely incredible one. I want to share with you some of the highlights.

I have not had a home since June 2004. Other then the nights when I had to drive all night to reach my next meeting, the Lord has provided a place for me to stay.

The vehicle I began deputation with had many problems. I counted fourteen times when the car could go no further without assistance. I never had to call AAA. There was always someone there to help me.

I drove 79,000 miles through 16 states without a relief driver. The only accident I had was with the deer that decided to run in front of my car.

In August 2005, I was diagnosed with cancer. The next nine months were filled with four surgeries, thirty-one radiation treatments and four chemo treatments. I had the best possible doctors, my medical bills were paid and I am cancer free.

What an incredible story!! I am looking forward to seeing what the next chapters contain as the Lord allows me to serve Him in Scotland.
