Andy Gemmill joins Cornhill Scotland team
Here's an excerpt from a Cornhill Scotland news release:
I wanted to share with you some additional very good news for the future of the course, and for all of us here involved with Cornhill Scotland's work. Our work is expanding, which is wonderful, but also demanding, and so we are delighted that we can look forward to a new member of the team in the form of Andy Gemmill who will join us next year.
Formerly a physician, Andy joined the staff at St Helen's, Bishopsgate under Dick Lucas, then served as Assistant Minister at Spicer Street Church in St Albans, and for the last 12 years he has been senior minister of Beeston Evangelical Church in Nottingham, where he has had a remarkably fruitful ministry, including training many for future ministry.
Many of you will know of Andy's ministry, and also his extensive involvement in wider training initiatives, such as serving on the Executive of 9:38. His bible teaching gifts are extremely respected and widely appreciated, and as we look to strengthening the team for the growing work of CTCS in the present, as well as building for planned further developments in the future (look out for news next year!), we are so thankful to God that he has led us to Andy, and Andy to us! I could hardly imagine someone more perfectly fitted for the needs of Cornhill Scotland, being as he is a native Scot, who is coming 'back home' at last to help us in the work of building the church of Jesus Christ in Scotland (and beyond!).
As you can imagine, there will be quite an upheaval for the family as they look to a major changes in all sorts of ways, so please do hold Andy and Annie, and their family, in your prayers over this coming year of transition, and join us in giving thanks to God for this enormous encouragement for all of us here in Glasgow.
