Church of God World Missions, Scotland Create McLaughlin Memorial
In memory of Paul McLaughlan Sr. and in honor of his ministry of 40 years with the Church of God and in support of the Initiative of Church Planting by the Church of God International Offices, Church of God World Missions and the Church of God Scotland National Church have created a special Paul McLaughlan Memorial Project to help plant and establish churches in Scotland—Project #132-9213.
Paul McLaughlan, Sr. was a man who had confidence in God’s call on his life. Like Abraham he was called out from the comfort of his home and place where he had an established ministry to a place he did not know.
While living in Lancaster, England, God called, assured, and convinced Paul through three seemingly impossible events that he was to plant a church in Inverness, Scotland. Events, Paul told his family, three events that must take place if they were to make this move.
First, the move must cost them nothing (someone would have to move their belongings and all 16 members of the family to Inverness). Second, their house must sell to the very first person who came to look at the house. And third, the entire family must agree to the move, including the young wives of his two sons. Miraculously, all three events occurred in just a few days, confirming that God was calling him to take his family, move to Inverness, and plant a church.
On Wednesday, May 18, 2017, almost 40 years to the date of his arrival at Inverness, Scotland, Paul McLaughlan, Sr. breathed his last and peacefully passed from this world into the arms of Jesus.
Please join us in celebrating the life and ministry of Paul McLaughlan, truly a pioneer Pentecostal church planter, by giving a financial gift in his memory to support the planting and establishing of churches in Scotland.
