The Fergusons

David and Lorna Ferguson are members of St Paul’s and went to Japan in 1998 with OMF. After two years’ language study they moved to Otaru, a city of some 145,000 people on Hokkaido island, where they worked for eight years before handing over leadership to a Japanese pastor. They are now in Milngavie for home assignment for one year during which time they will share about their work in Japan, not only in St Paul’s but at various churches, groups and conferences throughout Scotland. They will return to Japan next March when they will begin a new church in an area of Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido. Their boys are Daniel (13), Matthew (12), Calum (8) and Alistair (4).

Their 'Japan Jottings' feature regularly in 'Life' magazine and their monthly Prayer Letter and regular 'Ferguson File' (in PDF format) are available here.

INDIA MINISTRIES FELLOWSHIP An Introduction

IMF is a small Christian charity which began while some of the present trustees were studying theology at Aberdeen University in the early 1980s. They became friends with an Indian couple, Siga and Nalini Arles, who shared their burden for the millions of Indian children who never get a chance to develop their God-given talents, and are condemned to a life of hardship and poverty. Two of the original trustees had worked in developing countries, and they were concerned to encourage meaningful links between Scottish Christians and Third World churches.
IMF began in 1984, and is a registered charity in Scotland. Its aim is to "sustain, propagate and develop interest in and financial support for children who live in extreme poverty in India by providing the means for their welfare, education and nurture in the Christian faith."
