A
B
Presiding
officer
elected
members
of
the
Scottish
Parliament,
it
is
an
absolute
honor
to
be
with
you.
As
you
begin,
your
fall
session
mission,
aviation,
fellowship
or
MAF
is
a
Christian
organization
whose
vision
is
to
reach
isolated
people
in
developing
countries
to
see
their
lives
transformed,
physically
and
spiritually
in
Christ's
name
from
our
inception.
Almost
75
years
ago
we
have
had
close
connection
with
the
Scottish
people.
Our
first
aircraft
for
Africa
was
commissioned
at
Charlotte
Chapel
here
in
Edinburgh,
in
2003,
Scottish
friends
funded
an
airplane
for
use
in
Africa.
B
We
affectionately,
call
it
Scotty
and
it
currently
serves
the
people
of
Liberia,
bringing
help,
hope
and
healing
to
lives
that
had
been
shattered
by
Ebola
and
Civil
War.
Six
families
with
Scottish
roots
work
with
us
addressing
needs
in
Africa
and
in
the
Pacific
we
are
honored
to
have
the
head
of
MAF
Scotland
serve
on
the
humanitarian
emergency
fund.
As
part
of
our
commitment
to
relationship
with
Scotland.
B
We
live
in
a
complex
world
with
immense
pressures
and
challenges.
As
Leaders.
We
have
the
incredible
privilege
and
task
of
influencing
people
for
good.
We
have
a
high
calling
to
resolve
problems
and
make
this
world
a
better
place,
but
often
knowing
the
direction
to
go
is
difficult
as
we
face
competing
values
and
priorities.
B
B
B
B
Thirdly,
we
must
have
humility.
Humility
comes
through
acknowledgment
that
we
are
subjects
of
a
higher
authority.
It
addresses
the
need
of
the
soul,
establishing
health
and
healing
as
a
Christian
I
place
myself
under
the
authority
of
God
Almighty.
As
you
begin,
a
new
session
of
Parliament
I
wish
you
God's
wisdom
and
grace.
