OAP believes Bankies can help find Maddie

A pensioner is hoping he can inspire divine intervention in the case of Madeleine McCann - via an appeal in the Clydebank Post

Robert Darroch, 75, has made several appeals in the Post’s letters page over the past 20 years asking readers to pray for people missing or being held captive.

And miraculously, or coincidentally, soon after publication there have been some very positive outcomes.

Robert told the Post: “Over a period of four years in the late eighties and early nineties I regularly asked the people of Clydebank to spare a thought and a prayer for Terry Waite, held captive in Lebanon, and other captives in letters to the Post.

“Almost every time my letter was published the captives were freed."

Robert believes strongly in the power of prayer and travels around churches in Britain praying and encouraging others to pray for good causes and for peace.

The Parkhall man said: “I go to different churches every Sunday. I’m a Catholic myself but I’ve been to two thousand two hundred churches covering fifty denominations in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. My record is attending seven services on the same day in Clydebank. I am trying to break down sectarian barriers.”
