New Update From Bill Scott

I have been so busy it's been tough to blog but I am back on the wagon.  My laptop finally died so I went about a month with only my iPhone.  I was able to buy a new laptop and I am proud to say it's my first mac.  I have made the switch and I am really happy with my choice.

A lot is changing at Xtreme.  Our theme Free Our Family is catching on as we reach out to the entire family.  We want to be a resource for the whole family.  Our new web address is FreeOurFamily.com, it's easy to remember isn't it?

I have been traveling very hard this new year.  I am really busy and feel like I am living in airports.  I am blessed to be able to go and help out many different ministries.  Kingdom building is always a privilege to be involved in.

I have to share a quick story with you.  Yesterday my wife and I flew in to Lynchburg VA and then quickly drove over to Roanoke VA to meet with our good friend Keith Farmer from Straight Street.  The three of us walked over to the county jail where we planned on meeting with Britney.  After going through the process we were allowed in to see Britney.  This young lady was a drug addict by 12 years old.  Both mom and dad are sick with aids.  Her brother committed suicide a couple of years ago.  She is a cutter and her arms are scared up and down from top to bottom.  It really broke my heart to see such pain that this young lady has faced in her 22 years in life.  She still has another two years to serve before being released.  This young lady was caught with drugs and guns.  She told me that the best thing that could have happened was to have been caught.

Pray for Britney if you happen to think about her.  She has not been off drugs this long since she was 12.  She needs our prayers and support.

Thank you so much for supporting us both in prayer and financially.  If you can make a donation this week please do so at freeourfamily.com and click on donations.

God bless,

Bill Scott

Siloam Springs, AR

I have finally found WARM.  It's a nice sunny 75 outside here in Siloam Springs AR.  I've enjoyed the outside when given the opportunity today.

We've made some changes in the last couple of weeks to Xtreme.  We'll be pushing a new web address although at this point it's the same web site but it will be freeourfamily.com.  We are now reaching out to the entire family and believe by doing so we'll have a chance to impact students even more.  I am pretty excited about this.  So on Sunday nights we'll be taking calls from adults as well as students.  Basically we are now open to anyone who needs help.  I just believe God wanted us to help the hurting and to lift the age restriction.   It's a big change but one that will impact a lot of people praise God.

I will continue to travel this week so keep me in your prayers.  I leave Siloam Springs on Friday and go directly to Sacramento CA and then home a week from Friday so it's a long trip but one that will hopefully help the Kingdom of God.

I'll keep you updated more often.  Many blessings.

Cedar Rapids, IA

Its great to be in Cedar Rapids IA today and tomorrow.  I am at thespirit.org helping with their fundraiser.  What a great bunch of people and awesome music.  It's like listening to Sound of Light 24/7.  Take a minute and tune in if you have the chance.  You'll enjoy the broadcast.

Just a few minutes ago the morning show hosts said they would dye their hair green if we raised $2,000 in 17 minutes...it happened!  We are having a hair dying party later this afternoon, should be fun.

Wednesday I head out for Denver so pray for safe travel.

God bless,

Bill Scott

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Ok, we are pretty much done with the snow here in Nashville.  I hear it's going to be sunny and 70 in Nashville on Monday.  It's still snowing so lets believe by faith the warm weather is coming.  Funny thing is I leave Sunday for Cedar Rapids IA and it will not be sunny and 70 next week.  So I leave in time so I can continue the joy of cold and snow LOL.

This is my busy time schedule wise so pray for me if you think about it.  This is the time of year where I live on airplanes and in airports, which can be challenging at times.  Here is an over view of my schedule, again your prayers would be a real blessing to my family and me as I travel.
