More than 30 years later, Mitch is still working in his adopted country to plant and build up the Church among the Scots.Mitchell is a native of Conroe, Texas and a 1975 graduate of Abilene Christian College with a Bachelor of Arts in Bible.

In 1990 the Vicks moved to Stirling for the purpose of planting a new congregation and since that time have focused on evangelizing in and around Stirling, a city of 60,000 in Scotland’s central lowland belt. The Vicks, with their co-workers John and Irene Renwick, serve an active Church residing in Stirling and the surrounding area. The Church worship services are held in a local community center. The Stirling congregation was the first in Scotland to begin a “FriendSpeak” program. They partner with students attending Stirling University. The congregation also has an outreach to local young people through the “Tuesday Youth Club” for 9-13 year old students in the neighborhood. The winter Bible Study lectures is an annual event sponsored to make in-depth training available to the preachers and members of Scotland’s 26 congregations.

The Church is presently looking for interns who can come and work in Stirling for a two year period.Mitchell has been active in community affairs by serving on the local community school board for two years.
