In God’s providence, our congregation was given a huge boost in 2025 by 4 retired couples from the US — and one young family — coming to serve in Stranraer for anywhere between 5 weeks and 3 months.

You can read reports on their time here by Bob & Rita Lyon, the Giesler family and Craig & Nina Ormsby.
A video interview with Bob & Rita from Feb 2026 is available above.

Seeing the encouragement that it has been to us, a group of RPCNA ministers and elders have come together under the name “Stranraer Renewal Cooperative” in order to try and help this support continue — by providing housing and a vehicle for those coming.

(Current SRC members: Rev. Kyle Borg, Bob Lyon (Winchester RPC, Kansas); Rev. Stephen Steele, Dr James Fraser (Stranraer RPC, Scotland), Keith Wing (College Hill Reformed Church, PA), Harry Ward (Shawnee RPC, Kansas).

In January 2026, our pastor was interviewed about the initiative on the 3GT podcast, which you can listen to above.

You can contact us through the website if this would be an opportunity that interests you. Or if you are interested in financially supporting this initiative, you can donate via the details below:
