Praying for Harvest Glasgow

Here are some things to be thankful for and to be praying for us as we seek to plant this local church.

Thanksgiving
The number of people who are still expressing an interest in being part of Harvest Glasgow, and who are excited about the vision that we have for ministering impactfully as a local church.

The way that our Men's ministry, 'Fortify' and womens ministry 'Flourish' have already begun to develop deeper disciples living for God's glory- for the amazing sense of community that God has begun to produce amongst the launch team.

Alison and I were working out some rough Geography for our small groups and noted that we had 30 people who needed to be accommodated between the core launch team members and others who have expressed a commitment to be part of the church from launch.

We have one confirmed intern for next year, a theology student at a local college, and others who are praying about the possibility of giving time to the work ranging between 10-20 hours. Our desire has been to create a team environment and we are thankful that God has gone ahead of us in this regard.

Prayer
For our children's ministry and worship teams to develop strongly, for wisdom in the leadership of these and for a clear sense of unity and direction in these areas.

All our incorporation papers are submitted- please pray that this process would be completed quickly so that we can be properly established. Likewise our bank account is in process of being opened.

For the resources, human and material, that we need to undertake the work in such a way as reflects the excellence of God's greatness. He has already proved himself so faithful in providing for us and we continue to trust in Him for all things.

A number of people are still pondering whether to make Harvest Glasgow their church, pray that for those God has for us He would plant within them an urgency to be part of what God is doing in this local church. That God would meet our needs in regards to drawing to us Godly men and women with a passion for God's greater glory, a heart for the local church, a desire to deepen their walk with Jesus, and a recognition that they are called to love for something greater than themselves.

Launch Sunday will come quickly and while there is much to do our most important prayer is that the fruit of that service will be life transformation to the glory of God. Pray for those who attend and for those who prepare that God, by His grace, will change lives in such a way as can only be explained by pointing to Him.

Thanks once more for your prayers. Do get in contact and let us know how you are and how we can serve you or if we can give you any more information about how you can get involved in what we see God doing here in Glasgow.
