The Church Planting Initiative have agreed to begin support for Sammy and Rachel Gilchrist to work alongside the Neens in Whitehaven, Cumbria. This is a tough assignment, but Sammy and Rachel have already seen the Lord's remarkable provision in providing a house quite near the church and local employment for Rachel. Sammy has spent some time at GLO and his own testimony is a powerful witness to God's capacity to reach troubled lives.
