Travelling


On Friday I head out to Chicago for six weeks for a period of training and assessment in seeking to discern if the Lord has it for us to plant a church in Glasgow. We are priveleged to be able to spend some time with friends at Harvest Bible Fellowship and receive their wise input to our ministry. Harvest is established on these four pillars.

Proclaiming the authority of God’s Word without apology
Lifting high the name of Jesus through worship
Believing firmly in the power of prayer
Sharing the good news of Jesus with boldness

Our desire is to plant a vibrant, contemporary city centre church with a core emphasis on Bible ministry. The goal would be to plant something authentically urban reaching poor, rich and students, engaging in mercy ministry. Our heart is to grow a community of believers grounded in God's Word, gratefully lifting His name high in praise that is contemporary and who are defined by humility, community and boldness for the cause of God's great name.

We hope to be able to provide regular updates here over the next month and a half. If you are interested in finding out more contact me at the e-mail address on the sidebar. If you would like to pray for us we would treasure that. Here are some points to get you started.

: Discernment as to suitability for this ministry and humility to hear honestly from our friends at Harvest.
: God to go ahead of us in this work if this is what He wills for us.
: Core team development.
: Ministry development in Scott- that I would be equipped with all that I need for this ministry.
: Provision of a worship leader.
