Tory Mayo: Remain Faithful - Session 4
"Remain Faithful" was the title and theme of Acts 29’s US virtual conference in 2020. With so many disruptions to “normal” life, we knew many church leaders were feeling tired, discouraged, and ready to give up. Each session from Matt Chandler, Ray Ortlund, Tony Merida, Tory Mayo, Jen Wilkin, and Rudy Rubio encouraged us to hang on, endure, keep going, keep making disciples, stay the course, go the distance with Christ.
For this week’s episode of The Acts 29 Podcast, we want to feature the talk Tory Mayo gave on staying faithful in our discipleship with Lord Jesus.

Mez McConnell on Acts 29 and 20schemes
When we imagine Scotland, we might think of castles, rugged hills, or reformers like John Knox. But in Scotland’s housing schemes—inner-city neighborhoods burdened by poverty and crime—the reality is very different. These schemes are in desperate need of local, Bible-preaching churches. Through Church in Hard Places, Acts 29 works closely with 20schemes, a ministry seeking to plant healthy, multiplying churches of gospel light in the darkest corners of Scotland.
Mez McConnell joins the podcast today to discuss church planting in Scotland through 20schemes and Acts 29. Mez is one of the pastors of Niddrie Community Church in Edinburgh and the founder of 20schemes. He’s written several books, worked in inner-city areas in England, Scotland, and Brazil, and has a particular passion for training men and women for ministry in this context.
