On 30 June Minister David Meredith of Smithton Free Church was offered the position of Missions Director for the Free Church of Scotland.
In mid July he accepted the position after spending two weeks in prayer and discussion with the elders at Smithton, as well as others in the wider Church.
David said: ‘I did not apply for the position and certainly did not covet that particular ministry as I am very happy here at Smithton. The Missions Board of the denomination approached me to engage in a conversation which in turn led to the call to service.’
