Scott Family Newsletter – December, 2025

How to Join Us in New Hampshire

Grace & peace to you, fellow friends of God,

We hope you had a good Thanksgiving with family & the Lord.

Our past few updates have been full-to-overflowing with Acts 14 type reports like Paul & Barnabus shared with the gathered believers in Antioch. Those reports can be found at ScottFamilyJourney.org if you missed them, but we're making every effort here to share in a short form as we know this time of year can be overwhelming.

Above is an example of a visual we encountered just this month. It is a true horror, an invitation spread widely in our area encouraging an encounter with "Krampus" just a few miles away from where we live. To get a better picture of where we live, zoom out & look at the map below. There are 3,141 counties in the USA. The ones in purple are the 300 or so with the fewest number of evangelical Christians living there. None of them have more than 7% of the population embracing a Biblical worldview. See that purple mass in the Northeast? We live right in the middle of that & our area (within 50 miles of us in every direction) has about 3%.

As Jesus said in Matthew 9:37, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few" & we ask you to pray just as He asked 2,000 years ago in the very next verse, "therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

There IS a way for you to be here with us - through your Spirit-led gifts of prayer & the funds necessary to sustain the ministry. 

Two months ago, I shared a year end ministry expenses need of $10,232 (again, you can see the details on the homepage at ScottFamilyJourney.org). Three gifts totalling $1,600 have been given toward that bringing the balance still needed to $8,632.

Too, we have been encouraged to report that for the first time in the past 3+ years, our family's average monthly support has dipped below 90%. 

As the Lord leads you to give, please consider visiting ScottFamilyJourney.org & clicking the "Give Online" button in the top right corner.

If you'd prefer to mail a physical check to Dave & Shannon Scott at 187 Kings Highway in Middleton, NH 03887, those are always welcome. If you use this option, your donation will only be tax deductible if you make your check out to Village Missions. You CAN make a check out to us personally, but it won't be tax deductible for you.

We are thankful always with you & for you, beloved ones, because we know all is in His able hands & our best days are always still ahead. A final prayer request, mirroring Paul's in 2 Thessalonians 3:1, that the word of the Lord will spread quickly & be glorified in the hearts of those He touches with it, just as He has done with you & we 3 Scotts.

As always, we love you. Jesus loves you MORE! 

Living for Him with you,
Pastor Dave for Shannon & John Scott
