A Bible saved me from suicide

Stephen’s former roommate David Duly has been in Stranraer a number of times - as a GO Teamer and also just to visit. Last week he was featured on BBC Songs of Praise in a piece about the work of the Gideons, an organisation that distributes Bibles. In the clip above, he tells about how a Gideons Bible saved his life.

Last week, a new ministers’ reading group started in Newton Stewart, organised by Reformation Scotland. For our first meeting, we worked through a book written by a local Galloway minister 350 years ago - Samuel Rutherford’s Conversations with a Dying Man. Even though the book was written a long time ago, it led to some very practical discussions about ministering to the sick and dying.
