20 schemes update: God still at work

A new believer is baptised

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.

The team in Barlanark is also happy to see a number of mature Christian families join the church. One family has just bought a home in the scheme and are now in the process of moving in. Please pray for more houses to come on the market since more families are wanting to move into the area to help with ministry.
