Andrew and Shamini Akilan serve as church planters in Scotland, based in Glasgow and reaching across the central belt, bringing the hope of Jesus to students, young adults, and families who feel far from church. We create welcoming gatherings, small groups, and leadership training, and we serve our city through practical outreach that builds trust and opens doors for the Gospel. Your support helps us disciple new believers, raise local leaders, and establish healthy, multiplying churches that can bless Scotland for generations. Every gift fuels mission, resources, and pastoral care, turning seekers into disciples.

We are a family on mission in Scotland, called to plant life-giving churches where people can meet Jesus and find purpose. Over the years, God has grown our passion for discipleship and raising young leaders through ministry across campuses and local communities. The vision was born of seeing spiritually hungry people without a church home, and we stepped out in faith, overcoming limited resources and the challenges of starting from scratch. Today, we are building gatherings, small groups, and outreach that transform lives. Your partnership helps us reach more people and train local leaders.

One story we’ll never forget is a young Iranian Muslim woman who came to our midweek drop-in looking for help and a safe place. Week after week she returned, drawn by the peace she felt. As friendships formed, she began asking honest questions about Jesus. In time, she gave her life to God and chose to follow Christ as her Savior. Soon after, she was baptized in a Scottish loch, declaring Jesus Christ as her Lord.
