Here is another of our new believers recently being baptised in Niddrie. We are encouraged to see men and women of all ages coming to faith in Christ in the schemes.

We have had a number of amazing conversion stories in Niddrie in recent months.

Cheating on her, in and out of rehab, selling and taking drugs, […]

Just this past week, a Scotsman was sentenced to 15 years in prison for shaking a 15-week old baby so hard that it is brain damaged and will need full time care for the rest of its life. For those who can stomach it, the story can be read here. It’s easy to picture these […]
