Building Work

Hello Everyone!

The journey in Bridgeton Life Church is continuing full speed.

We are in the middle of church construction right in the front entrance. The old dated look from the 1960's has to go...The walls have been cracking, and the whole first "expression" when you walked in the church was very dark...

First part was to pull down the existing ceiling and cover it with the plaster board..Next is plastering, then painting, and hopefully in few weeks time we can lay down a new floor...We are excited to see the church physically and spiritually changing; reaching higher and going stronger each week.

There is much to do but we are taking one step at the time, together as a church...As the saying goes, "Rome was not build over night..." We are learning to be patient with the work. Thank you for your faithful support to us, and please keep us in prayer as our goal is to have the front entrance decorated by the end of November when we will be hosting a special concert for the community.

Please pray for us also as we are preparing for our annual Hallelujah party on the 31st October 2009.

Here are some photos of the front entrance in the middle of walls getting plastered.

Blessings, Paul and Heini

Baptism Sunday

Celebration Sunday! God is so good and so faithful! Thank you for praying!

The 30th August we had a baptism service where three people were baptised,
Robert, Clayton and Christine! The day was filled with joy and excitement.

Robert is a single man who we had met just few weeks ago in one of our outreaches in Bridgeton Cross. He is hungry for God and taking steps to see his life changed. Please pray for Robert as he continues his walk of faith and believes freedom from his past addictions!

Clayton and Christine gave their lives to the Lord in May when God supernaturally healed Clayton's back. The Lord has been doing a work in their lives and in their children's lives. Please keep them in prayer as they pursue their destiny in God.

Here are few photos...Blessings, Paul and Heini

Church is Fun!

Can Church be fun?

We are teaching to the people of Bridgeton that Church indeed can be fun!

Relationship with the Lord needs to be real...

Church needs to be relevant to our lives and filled with joy! Let's not give up but press on. We are winners as long as we don't give up...No matter how many times we fall, we get up and keep going. Praise God for His amazing grace!

Please keep us in prayer as we will have a baptism service this coming Sunday the 30th August 2009.

The photos are from one of our Sunday morning services...

His joy is our strenght, Praise God!

Love, Paul, Heini, Josiah and Gloria

Kids Programme

Hello from Scotland!


In the beginning of August we were priviledged to have a team from New Jersey with us for few days. We had a great time reaching out to the children and families of Glasgow. Over 70 children came to our kids programme and most of them received Jesus into their hearts!


Praise God!

Please keep praying for all these seeds that were planted. We are continuing our weekly children's programme every Tuesday night. Please pray that the Lord would send more people into our paths who would have a heart to work with children... The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. These children have a special place in our hearts, many of them come from broken homes and many have suffered from abuse. We want to bring healing through the love of Christ into these little beautiful hearts.

Love, Paul and Heini

Doors are wide open for kids to come in!






Welcome!! We are ready to have fun!






Praise God we had a great turn out! Over 70 kids came along!





Time for a craft...

Connection 242

Hey everyone!

Since April 2009, once a month, we have got together as a church to fellowship over a meal, to worship, pray, take communion and hear God's Word. These nights have turned out to be a real success. Month after month new people come and join us for a meal and get to meet new friends...

Acts 2:42 says, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." That's where the name Connection 242 comes from...

We are truly a church that likes to fellowship with one another and build an atmosphere of church unity and devotion...

Enjoy the photos from our latest Connection 242 night on 30th July 2009.

Love, Paul and Heini

July 2009

Hello friends!

Over the summer we have been hosting on Thursday nights a Rock Solid Class that is a basic discipleship class for everyone growing in God. We have had a great time and people are indeed learning about the bible. Some great conversations and questions have sparked up...Praise God!

Over this year we have been doing a marriage counselling to a couple who have been struggling for the past 10 years of their marriage. This past Sunday they came up front and testified how God has restored their marriage and they are in love again! Wow! God is so faithful.

On a personal note, Josiah and Gloria had their first riding lesson...They really loved it!

We are doing well. The summer has been great in Scotland. A lot less rain than normal...

Love from Paul, Heini, Josiah and Gloria

Family Fun Day

Hello Partners!

Life in Scotland is moving forward and we are excited to tell you the good news about our Family Fun day! On Saturday, May 16 over 100 people came to our family fun day held for Bridgeton Life Church and our community folk.

It was a beautiful dry day (which is sometimes hard to get in rainy Scotland), and lives were exposed to a great Christian atmosphere where impact was made through music and dance, relationship building, offered prayer to people, and continual up dates of what is going on in the church!

This outreach allowed people and families to come in from the community, and see Christians who are normal and love to have fun, be adventurous, laugh, and build the Kingdom of God with passionate hearts, expressing the love of Christ! We offered free bar-b-que, face painting, balloons, bouncy castle, and some competition sports, for people to get involved in. It was a great day!
