A LONG OBEDIENCE IN THE SAME DIRECTION <strong>Lansdowne</strong>’s Care Home ministry has been in existence for more than 50 years, involving many leaders and helpers. The work provides opportunity for Christians to get experience in presenting a simple message, leading in prayer and being part of a team in bringing the Gospel to care home residents. Richard and Mavis Wheeler have been involved in this work for 35 years, 12 years leading the ministry, giving their time and effort sacrificially, always ensuring there has been sufficient team representation going into the homes. We would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to Richard and Mavis who have recently handed over the leadership of this ministry to John and Rebecca Osborne. We are praising the Lord that one of the Park Manor team had the privilege recently of leading a 99 year old resident to the Lord - a great encouragement to Richard and Mavis and a seal on their commitment! Please pray for this new Christian, that her assurance of salvation will be maintained and for John and Rebecca as they take on their new responsibility. If you are following Christ and would like to join a care home team, contact John and Rebecca or the Church Office.
Craig Dyer 10 and 11 June ‘Equipping Hundreds to Train Thousands to Rescue Millions …’ Information will shortly be available concerning Craig’s visit to <strong>Lansdowne</strong> which will include a Saturday morning seminar which he says will be an encouragement for the whole church family in personal evangelism. In March 2008 Craig completed 13 years as Pastor of Harper Church, an FIEC church on the south side of Glasgow. He had been called there from Bellshill Baptist Church, his first pastorate which he took up after graduating from Irish Baptist College in Belfast in 1989. During his time at Harper, Craig served as a trustee with India Rural Evangelical Fellowship (IREF), Care for Scotland's Scottish Advisory Committee, and a chaplain at the University of Glasgow. When at Harper his involvement in Christianity Explored Ministries (CEM) deepened, becoming an Advocate in 2006 leading to his present role as Training Director. His task in essence is to provide evangelism training for gospel hearted churches in more than 100 countries around the world by developing a network of trainers. CEM is committed to getting the gospel to the nations via the local church. Craig summarises his life's work as "Equipping hundreds to train thousands to rescue millions". He and his wife Margaret have three daughters. As a family they are still engaged in the work at Harper Church where Craig serves as Associate Pastor. Craig brought outstanding Bible ministry from Mark’s gospel at the Child Evangelism Fellowship European Leadership Forum in Hungary in 2015, taking the theme of “Jesus – The Master Evangelist”, illustrating the methods and message of evangelism by showing how Jesus interacted with children and adults. Craig will be one of the speakers at the 2018 Bournemouth and Poole Convention.
