News & Events

Many will remember the tragic events in the summer of 2006, when two pupils from Colegio San Andrés in Lima, along with their host (and driver), died in a road accident near Inverness. The two boys were part of a team of pupils participating in a school trip to Scotland.

It will also be known by many that the parents of one of the boys have raised a court action against the school and its former headmaster, and the Church, to seek damages for their loss. This legal action is ongoing and is being defended by the Church. There is a real desire for a just and swift resolution to be found, and it has been felt that the prayers of God’s people should be specifically sought in this regard.

We would ask that the following matters be the object of specific and concerted prayer:

*  Pray for the families of the boys, as they continue to deal with the grief of the loss suffered.

*  Pray for a just and swift resolution to the ongoing legal process, and wisdom for those responsible for making decisions.

*  Pray for the whole school community, that they might know God’s help and direction in their ongoing service in the school.

“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27:13-14
