"Lifeline Full Gospel Mission".
This is a video of pictures taken at my mum and dad's mission in Scotland.
When I made this video, it brought back a lot of memories.
My mum and dad had also lived in Luton England back in the fifties where they had found a couple of other churches and missions. A couple of them are shown at the beginning of the movie. Then they moved back to Scotland where they continued their ministry.
The video includes my Grandma and Grandad and some of my uncles.
It reminded me, that it's not what we have or accumulate in life, but it's in who we help along the way through life. My mum would organize numerous trips and outings for the seniors, otherwise, they would never go anywhere. My mum would have them save up money during the year, then at the end of the year, they had enough money saved for the trip. My mum would deposit the money into the bank for all the seniors.
All the older people are passed away now, however, during their time at the mission, they made many friends and had great times of fellowship with each other.
The mission helped many seniors and alcoholics, whose lives ultimately, were turned around.
They had various meetings and also hosted a children's night with over 70 children.
My mum and dad operated the mission from 1961 until 1977 when my dad passed away.
They were also pastors of The Prospecthill Mission in Greenock, which they were asked to take over as well as running their mission.
My mum gave up the mission when my dad died and eventually moved to Canada beside her family.
My mum stayed in Canada until 2002 until she passed away. Her remains were returned to Scotland where she was buried beside my dad.
I hope that you enjoy this movie and can get a feel for the love that they had for one another.
I have included three songs to accompany the movie.
