Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When will The Scottish Promise be up and running retreats?
While we are still working on some things in the house, like painting and decorating, and therefore haven't 'officially' launched yet, we are more than happy to receive you as retreat guests any time. You will be welcomed into our home, and as any homeowner could tell you, there is always another project on the horizon. The guest rooms, however, are ready for you, as well as a brand new guest bath/shower room and a new pantry outside your room for coffee, tea and snacks. Regardless of what small projects are in the works, we can promise you a clean house and a warm welcome.
Q: Is this a retreat for the whole family?
While we love kids, we recommend making arrangements for them to stay with family or friends while you are with us. We value family highly, but also know that focussing this week on your own personal restoration is paramount to your own well-being, and, in consequence, to the well-being of your whole family.
Q: Will we have time to go sight-seeing?
If sight-seeing is what will bring you a feeling of restoration and joy, then feel free! Aberdeenshire and the north of Scotland boast some great historical places to see, and also much spectacular scenery. Our recommendation would be that you are careful not to do too much running around, however, as this might be counter-productive to having time to properly rest and recharge.
Q: What do I need to bring with me on a retreat?
Whatever you need to spend a week relaxing is all you need. Your food and accommodation is provided for the week, so as long as you have a toothbrush and pyjamas, you're set!
Q: How can I support this ministry?
We are so appreciative of everyone who is willing and able to support us. Our needs are two-fold:
Firstly, we know that without God's hand on this ministry, it will not have the kind of impact in the Kingdom for which we hope. So PRAYER support is paramount. We are looking for people who will commit to praying for us, seeking God's heart for this ministry, and praying for those to whom we will have a chance to host. If you would like to be kept abreast of our news and how you can pray, you can sign up for our monthly email HERE.
Secondly, we are always willing to receive FINANCIAL support. Though we will be charging for retreats, we do desire to have the ability to have donations subsidize the cost of running them. This includes upkeep on the house, heating and electricity, food bills, and even keeping one of us from having outside employment, so as to be available for retreat guests.
To read more about how to support us through finances or through prayer, or to give, please see our SUPPORT US page.
