What Do We Do?
Our ministry is quite diverse in that we have the local ministry of the church but this also reaches out worldwide through the internet.
Witnessing and Evangelism
We believe in soul winning and find our best methods here are by personal contact. In the past, door knocking was sometimes a good way to meet people but times have changed and it is very hard to engage someone on the door step locally. It varies from place to place but we find it is better to engage people on the street, at the shops or whilst out walking. People are generally open to conversation in these localities but find it intrusive to knock on their door unless we know them or have had an invitation. Our most productive method has been through the Haggis tracts and our www.savethehaggis.com website which is being shared through social media and through the tracts themselves. We even have non-religious people asking for more cards and tracts to send to their family. It is amazing to see non-saved folks sharing the gospel!
Radio
We started a weekly radio show a number of years ago on a secular radio station and after about 3 years they wanted to change the program to let other churches use our time. I prayed long about this and the LORD led us away from the station and to start our own internet based station which actually costs us LESS per year to run 24/7 than it did to have one hour a week on the secular station! www.littleflockradio.com has been going since Apr 2015 and we have listeners from all over the world.
Youtube & Social Media
Our youtube channel receives many comments, emails and messages from viewers and through that we have realised that youtube doesn't record all the views when broadcasts are played through facebook or the church webpage so the hit count doesn't always reflect the number of people that have watched. We broadcast each service LIVE from the church and save these recordings on the Youtube channel. It might not sound like a lot to the world but a few videos have reached 20,000 views which I am very blessed with. We receive numbers messages through facebook and are able to witness and counsel through this medium and find it is great to reach people that normal would never be reached in person.
DVD/CD
There are many people who are not able to watch online due to data restrictions or the unavailablitly in their area so we are glad to send out DVDs and CDs to these folks free of charge as the LORD provides. We recently purchased a new duplicator that copies 5 DVDs in half the time it took to do 2 with our old machine! The biggest blessing is that it was paid for through a donation!
BIBLE Distribution
We are glad to be able to hand out KJV Bibles to those who visit the church leaving a personal note in each Bible. We sometimes leave them unsigned so believers that visit can pass them on to someone else that does not have one.
Counselling
We offer free Biblical counselling to anyone that needs it whether or not they are members of the church. Most people that come for counselling locally do visit the church from time to time. We are also able to offer this through skype to those who cannot get to the church. We have seen great victories won for the LORD through this ministry and seen many people set free from things that kept them in bondage to sin and the world. It is great to experience the deliverance of a child of God who was struggling with sin or bondage. People are set free from bitterness, depression, anxiety, anger, porn, alcohol, smoking (and other addictions) as well as being able to find forgiveness or be able to forgive an abusive parent and live free from the pain that those feelings brought! Through the power of Jesus name, the brokenhearted are healed! Some people have even come to be freed from demonic bondage to witchcraft and have been gloriously set free through the name of Jesus. We have also seen people healed from sickness and disease simply through being able to let go of resentment and offer forgiveness to those that hurt them. Sadly this is not part of the ministry of many churches anymore but was a large part of Jesus' ministry and we feel it is still very important to enable a Christian to live an abundant life in Christ.
