Sanctuary renovations

Hello again!

As many of you know our church building is over 100 years old and in a desperate need of decoration..Little by little we are tackling one area after another. The most current update is our sanctuary. The old pulpet had to go, so that we can get in a baptism tank... The work is not finished yet but the old pulpet is away...here are some pictures... Work in progress...

Blessings, Paul and Heini

Children's VBS

God is sooo good!

We have an other team with us for a week from New York. They arrived on Tuesday the 6th July and they will be with us until Wednesday 14th July.

They are helping us organise children's VBS for three nights. Last night was our first night. Around 50 children from the community showed up. During the day the team has been evangelising and doing face painting in the local park. God has opened up some great conversations with people in the community.

Please pray that all goes well tonight and tomorrow night. Children's ministry has been one of the most fruitful ministries in our church. Parents are starting to come along to the church as they see how their children are enjoying the programme and new friendships!

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

Charity Shop

Hi everyone!!

I know we have been telling you a little bit about the charity shop along the way but here is the final update with finally some photos..

We run the shop from beginning of March through 3rd July 2010.

God is so good and blessed us tremendously with the shop..Not just relationally but financially as well...

"As you sow you also reap" says the bible so we felt we had to do some sowing... Huge is the financial need we have as a church with all our construction projects etc...So it's better to trust all our burdens in His hands and do as the word says.

So we decided to "sow" some finances to a group called Fire Starters. They are even as we write in Kenya building a well in a small town and also reconstructing a roof to a church...

We were able to raise quite a bit of money for Fire Starters and also for the local community women by blessing them with a discounted rate to go to Bradford, England to a womens conference in Adundant Life Centre.

The last month of June we raised a bit over thousand pounds towards our own church projects...Praise God!

Here are pictures from the charity shop. The women who worked hard each day in the shop loved it so much that they are praying that God would give us a new shop closer to the church! Please pray that God would endeed open up a new door for a new charity shop in the east end of Glasgow. Love, Paul and Heini

Thank you

Hello again!

This past Saturday, June 19th, Paul graduated with receiving his credentials for Assemblies of God Great Britain. This was a special time for his promotion, and our whole family had an opportunity to go to Mattersey Hall Bible College in England. Paul has been pursuing this for several years now with some ongoing studying. He has worked hard to accomplish his task for the Lord.

Children are an awesome part of the Kingdom of God. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them." On Sunday June 20th three children in our church were dedicated to the Lord and his purposes. We enjoy seeing Scottish people pray and give their children into the hands of God. All these little ones we had got to know through our childrens' programme on Tuesday nights and now the parents are also coming to the church. Praise the Lord!

Again we would like to say BIG THANK YOU for reading this blog, praying for us and supporting us!
We are so thankful to God for you! Blessings, Paul and Heini, Josiah and Gloria

Tinto Hill Hike

Hey everyone!

As most of you know Paul was away in America for a little over a month itenarating. Thank you for everyone for your kind hospitality and support! We appreciate you all... Heini and the kids kept the church going with a support of a great team of people in Bridgeton Life Church while Paul was away.

Paul is now back in Scotland and we are advancing the Kingdom!

We have also moved house, here is our new address:

Paul and Heini Euliano, 18 Old gartloch Road, Gartcosh, Glasgow, G69 8EU, Scotland, UK

While Paul was away in America, Heini and few of the people from the church organised a fundraising hill hike to raise funds for Kenya mission team. Here are some photos of the hillhike in May. Sorry for the delay getting the photos on, our internet is still not working at our home...

The church unity is increasing and we are like a "big family"... Everyone who went on the hill hike had lots of fun...although at the end of the day we were exhausted!

Enjoy the photos! Love, Paul and Heini

Clayton getting ready for a hill hike...

He has been coming to the church with his family for the past year.

The Lord healed his back and Clayton gave his life to Him!

Jacqueline is ready to run..She is a new addition to our church family since last November

and a huge blessing! She has joined the worship team and is a true encouragement to all the women in the church.

Ready to conquer the Tinto hill!

Everyone received certificates and money was raised for a good cause!

Dinner with the church family

Hello everyone!

This past Thursday we booked up a local restaurant

and went out to eat and fellowship as a church...

And we had so much fun... around 40 people showed up.

It was a great time to build more relationships and just relax.

No agenda, just a fun time as a "family"..

This was very needed as the past month has been very busy...

Few things that we have been up to...

We hosted a team from Texas for 10 days and organised chilcrens programme

for for four days in March.

Paul still continues the youth group on Tuesday nights after the Kids Programme has finished...

The whole front pulpet from the sanctuary has been taken down. whoa. We are intending to put in a baptism tank as the funds become available...

One of the rooms upstairs was full of dry rot...the dry rot has been treated and the walls are getting replastered in the next few weeks...

We have started an other project also called "sponsor a chair". The plan is to get the old very uncomfortable pews out and replace them with chairs...So we are collecting funds towards new chairs. Please pray that we would reach our target of 150 chairs by the end of May!

Charity Shop is going very well. We are still running it for few more months and the ladies who are involved with running it are loving it...God is so good!

These are just few of the bigger projects we have been involved in the last month. Praise God for His grace! God is so good. Paul is preparing to go to USA to itinerate for 5 weeks. He is supposed to fly out from Scotland on the 22nd April. Please pray that God would open up a door for him to travel as most of the airports are closed down with the volcano erruption. Heini will stay home with Josiah and Gloria... Your prayers are much appreciated as we will be separated for quite a few weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog and praying for us!

Love, Paul, Heini, Josiah and Gloria

Charity Shop

Hello from sunny Glasgow!!

It has been the most beautiful few days..No rain for almost two weeks!

We have some exciting news to share with you... This past Monday Bridgeton Life Church opened up "our own" Charity Shop! We were offered an empty shop building to use for free for three months if we wanted to take it...So of course, we took the opportunity to raise some funds.

So we are running a "wee" shop for three months, until June and raising money towards women's conference trip that is coming up in the beginning of June. We will also support a group of young people from Fire Starters, who are going to Kenya on a mission trip this coming July...And depending on how much funds we will manage to raise we will use some towards our building project in Bridgeton. We felt that this is a major time for us believing support and financies towards our own building projects and other needs we have here in Glasgow, so we thought that we will sow some seeds to missions and believe God, that we will also reap a blessing in return!

We are sending our very first "missionary" out to Kenya for three weeks, as one of the young people from our church is joining in the team in July. Praise God!

The shop has brought us together as a church with many volunteers coming along to help one way or another. Please keep praying that people would continuosly donate good clothing and household goods for us to sell and that God would bless the shop!

We appologise, due to some technical difficulties We are unable to attach photos right now...

Thank you for praying for us!
Love and blessings, Paul, Heini, Josiah and Gloria
