The Donald family joined the Church. Alastair and Nicky had three sons. He worked in the Scottish office. This was in the days before devolution.
They were faithful at the prayer meeting, but having a young family meant that they could not attend together, so they took alternate weeks. One week Alastair would come, the next week Nicky would come. I believe that God honours people like that. They loved the lord and were consistent at public prayer.
I think it would have been very easy for them to go on the way they were, but God gives gifts, and one of Alastairs gifts was teaching. He felt that he should enter the ministry of the church of Scotland and this he did. The ministry took him to the North of Scotland and then back down to Edinburgh. It is their constiency at prayer that I adired most about the Murrays and the Donalds. When both of these families arrived at the church they wasted no time in getting involved in the prayer meeting. It was always a joy to be with them.
