20 schemes update: God still at work
The Lord
is at work
in schemes (social
housing estates) across Scotland. Here is
the latest news from just two schemes in
Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Barlanark, Glasgow
Hope Community Church, Barlanark, saw
three baptisms this Easter Sunday. The first
baptism was of a local man who took a considerable amount of time to count the cost of
following Jesus, but has now followed Him
in baptism. The second was a teenager who
has grown in their faith over the past year
and wanted to be obedient through baptism.
Lastly, there was a woman from Nigeria who
has just been given asylum in the UK. It was
such a privilege to see three very different
individuals all profess faith in the same Jesus.
Is there anybody out there?
