Chief Executive
Thank you for taking a moment to catch up with what is going on here at Glasgow City mission. May I first introduce myself? I am Andrew Low and, as you might have heard, I have recently moved to Glasgow City mission from The Lodging House Mission. I had been at the LHM for almost four years and sensed that my time there was coming to an end. God had done incredible things in the work there and He had someone new to lead the LHM into its next season. Meanwhile, He had laid the challenge regarding Glasgow City Mission before me to take up. I hope you will join me in praying for Stan Smith as he now runs the Lodging House Mission, that God will bless them in the days to come.
While you are praying for Stan, please also lift up our work here both at the Shieling with the homeless men and women who come to us each night, and at the Family Centre working to convey Christ's love to children and their families. May I also ask you to consider sending along a financial gift towards our work? While we are grateful for the Trusts and businesses that contribute approximately 23% of what we need each month, and the 1% that we receive form the Government, we continue to rely on God leading individuals such as you to support our mission regularly.
Crossline Scotland Partnerhsip
We are delighted to introduce and officially launch our partnership with Crossline Scotland. Crossline Scotland offers a confidential careline and prayer support for men and women of all ages – whatever their concern.
Crossline Scotland has been established for over 15 years and their national helpline now serves people throughout Scotland. All staff are Christian and are fully trained counselors. We feel that in having this kind of out of office hours pastoral support, this can only benefit the people who use the services of Glasgow City Mission by offering additional assistance and care.
The service is available 10am to 4pm and 7pm to midnight on Monday to Friday, and all calls made by clients are charged at a local rate.
Crossline Scotland’s careline is 0845 658 0045
Volunteers Required
We are looking for a volunteer Van Driver to assist with pick-ups of food from local businesses on a Monday between 3pm and 6.30pm. If you have a clean driving license and would be able to spare a few hours to help in this, please call Susan Robertson on 0141 445 8608. We will also be looking for volunteers in the lead up to the Chrismas period. If you have some spare time over this busy period, please telephone Susan Robertson on 0141 445 8608.
