Our Ministry Leader
Light of the World Ministries Senior Pastor is Gillian Glasgow. A reverend’s daughter; Pastor Glasgow and her husband Pastor Gary Glasgow continue to build with great vision and purpose on the legacy of the late Reverend M. Lawrence who went home to be with the Lord in August 2015.
Born in Jamaica and immigrating to the UK in 1958, Rev Lawrence gave her life to the Lord in 1971. She went on to found New Jerusalem Spiritual Israelites and remained in service to the Lord for 40 years. Numerous disciples have been birthed and developed through her ministry and she became particularly well known for her healing ministry, garnering many testimonies throughout the years.
As one of great strength and depth of conviction she is well remembered for her sound preaching of the Gospel and was often invited and called upon to preach at other churches. Many have experienced her power packed messages and gift of explaining and articulating the word of God in a simplified manor.
In 2011 her daughter, Pastor Gillian and son-in-law Pastor Gary Glasgow joined her in carrying the Gospel further. Her ministry was re-birthed and is now known as Light of the World Ministries International.
As founder of Light of the World Ministries International and having sown in prayers for many years before the ministry was even birthed, the Late Reverend Lawrence is greatly missed and will always remain in the hearts of its members and as an integral part of the fabric of the ministry.
What is Christianity?
The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple. This three-minute video tells us what it’s all about.
It’s all about one life, the life of Jesus, and it can be summed up in the answers to the questions below.
Who is Jesus?
He’s the Christ. The King who God himself had promised to send, who would put everything right by setting up a kingdom of justice and love.
He’s also the Son of God. God himself, entering the world as a human being.
Jesus proved who he was by what he did. He healed people. He calmed storms. He raised the dead. By doing these things, the King was giving a glimpse of life in his kingdom. A perfect place, with no suffering, fear or death. It’s the world we all want.
Why did Jesus come? To be rejected
But many people rejected Jesus. They thought they’d be happier making their own rules and living outside his kingdom. This rejection of the King is something we all do. Jesus called it sin.
It damages our lives and will eventually leave us separated from the joy of being in the kingdom.
God won’t let those who reject the King live with him. So we face what Jesus called hell. An existence without anything good, forever.
Why did Jesus come? To be killed
People rejected the King so violently that they killed him by nailing him to a cross. But his death wasn’t a mistake by God – it was a masterstroke.
On the cross, Jesus was cut off from God’s friendship and goodness. He chose to experience hell – so that we don’t have to. The sinless King died to take the punishment sin deserves.
Jesus was opening the way into his kingdom.
Why did Jesus come? To rise again
Three days after his execution, his tomb was found to be empty. Over the next few weeks many ate with Jesus. Dozens spoke with him. Hundreds saw him. Jesus the King could not be contained by death.
He had risen!
What does it mean for us?
So, today, right now, Jesus is inviting people to come into his kingdom. He tells us to repent and believe the good news.
Repent means to turn around, to live with Jesus in charge instead of ourselves. Believe means to trust that Jesus has done everything we need to give us a place in his kingdom.
Living with Jesus as King isn’t easy. His followers will be rejected, just as he was. But they also live a life of deep security, satisfaction, and joy, knowing God and his forgiveness, being helped by his Spirit, and looking forward to the King’s return, when he will finally establish his loving kingdom forever.
Jesus offers all this to anyone and everyone who repents and believes.
