Mez McConnell on Acts 29 and 20schemes
When we imagine Scotland, we might think of castles, rugged hills, or reformers like John Knox. But in Scotland’s housing schemes—inner-city neighborhoods burdened by poverty and crime—the reality is very different. These schemes are in desperate need of local, Bible-preaching churches. Through Church in Hard Places, Acts 29 works closely with 20schemes, a ministry seeking to plant healthy, multiplying churches of gospel light in the darkest corners of Scotland. Mez McConnell joins the podcast today to discuss church planting in Scotland through 20schemes and Acts 29. Mez is one of the pastors of Niddrie Community Church in Edinburgh and the founder of 20schemes. He’s written several books, worked in inner-city areas in England, Scotland, and Brazil, and has a particular passion for training men and women for ministry in this context.
