About Harestanes
Harestanes is a community which is part of Kirtintilloch, a town to the north-east of Glasgow.
The community of Harestanes itself has around 3000 people in it and most of it is ranked in the bottom 30% of the Scottish Government’s Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD 2020).
People enjoy living here, not just for the community atmosphere but also for the glorious views that living at the foot of the Campsie Hills present.
Hope for harestanes
Harestanes Baptist Church has been active in the community for the last number of decades, trying to reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In recent years, as the members of the church have grown older, they have struggled to engage with the community as they once did so they have now asked 20schemes to come help revitalise their witness as a church.
20schemes has partnered with Harestanes Baptist Church to revitalise the gospel work happening there. We have been able to provide a church planter in Lewis Macaulay, who will pastor the church and, Lord-willing, lead a team to reach the scheme with the Gospel.
We are still looking for willing people to come to Harestanes and be a part of this vital gospel work. Is the Lord calling you to come and serve Him in Harestanes?
Current Prayer Needs:
- Pray that we would raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, taking every opportunity to teach them about Jesus.
- Pray for Lewis as the role of pastor comes with many responsibilities, and he needs wisdom and discernment from the Lord.
- Pray that we would manage our time well between ministry and family.
- Pray for our church as we continue trying to reach the lost around us with the life transforming power of the gospel.
