Hayes On Mission
Partner With Us to Reach Scotland With the Gospel
In early 2027, we’re moving from the United States to Scotland to serve alongside TM Global Ministries and its local church community, The Gathering House.
We believe God is calling us to be part of what He is doing in Scotland and across Europe. Our heart is to see people encounter Jesus, lives transformed by His presence, and believers equipped to walk in the fullness of what God has for them.
How This Started
This past year, God opened doors for us to travel from the United States to different places in Europe. During those trips, we experienced an unexpected peace and a deep connection to the people and the land. At the time, we didn’t fully understand what God was stirring but we knew something significant was beginning.
Over the past nine months, we have prayed, sought the Lord, and asked Him to make His direction clear. Through that process, He has confirmed again and again that He is calling us to Scotland.
This means leaving behind what is familiar, steady, and comfortable. But we feel a deep joy and conviction that God is leading us into something greater than ourselves.
Why Scotland?
Scotland has a rich Christian heritage and was once a nation that sent missionaries across the world. Yet today, much of the country has moved away from its Christian roots, and generations are growing up with little connection to the Church or the Gospel.
But we believe God is moving in Scotland!
We believe there is a harvest waiting to be reached, lives waiting to be transformed, and a generation hungry for a genuine encounter with Jesus.
We’re not going because it’s easy. We’re going because we believe God has called us, and the harvest is plentiful.
What We’ll Be Doing
We’ll be serving in complementary roles, supporting worship, ministry events, and communications across Scotland and Europe.
Andrew will lead worship, help develop teams, and oversee digital media helping the message of Jesus reach people in rooms and on screens through The Gathering House and TM Global Ministries.
Ellie will coordinate events, organize teams and logistics, and shape communications creating welcoming spaces where people who may have never stepped into a church can encounter God for the first time.
Together, our prayer is to help create environments where people meet Jesus, grow in real faith, and discover hope in Christ.
How Your Support Helps
We’ve organized our support need into two phases so you can see exactly what your gift goes toward:
Phase One — Launch & Relocation (~$20,000)
The practical costs of getting us on the ground: visas, immigration fees, health surcharges, flights, shipping our belongings, and a modest financial cushion as we establish housing and adjust to life in Scotland. This phase gets us there.
Phase Two — First Year of Ministry (~$45,000)
Living support during our foundational first year so we can pour ourselves fully into worship, outreach, discipleship, events, and the relationships that introduce people to Jesus. This phase lets us focus on the mission, not financial uncertainty.
Ways to Partner With Us
Monthly Partnership — Become part of our team with consistent monthly support. Even $20, $30, or $50/month makes a lasting difference. Monthly partners are the backbone of what we’re building.
One-Time Gift — Help us cover relocation costs and first-year needs. Every gift, no matter the size, moves us one step closer.
Prayer — More than anything, we ask for your prayers. For wisdom. For provision. For open doors. And for hearts in Scotland to be ready to encounter Jesus.
We’re praying for 30-40 more monthly partners to join the team before we move.
Why Your Gift Matters
When you partner with us, you’re not just helping us move. You’re becoming part of the lives that will be impacted, the gatherings that will be created, and the message of hope that will reach across Europe.
We can’t do this without you and we mean that. Every prayer, every gift, every word of encouragement is part of how God is making this possible.
Will You Partner With Us?
We believe God is opening a door for us to serve in Scotland, and we’re inviting you to be part of this journey.
Would you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly ministry partner or sowing a one-time gift toward helping us get there?
Every gift matters. Every prayer matters. And every person who stands with us becomes part of this mission.
Together, we can see lives transformed, people encounter Jesus, and the Gospel advance throughout Scotland and beyond.
Thank you for believing in what God has called us to do!
With love and gratitude,
Andrew & Ellie
