You Can Help!

You can help scem this summer! We have a whole variety of ways in which you can be part of our exciting work and impact Scotland For Christ.

Team member

Team members with scem are able to get involved in a number of ways -

Leading kids’ clubs, doing youth outreach, leading praise and worship, and reaching out to people in a whole range of events and activities.  Each mission is different.

House Parent

Each team relies on house-parents who lead the team, motivate and care so that the team are focussed and effective in mission.

Cook

Vital to the work of scem are the people who cook for the teams.  An army marches on its stomach – well, scem teams are a bit like that.  If you could give a week in the summer to prepare food for hungry young folk then get in touch.

Bible Teacher

Each team receives daily Bible teaching to equip them for Christian life and service both on mission and back home.  This is part of our aim to ensure that a week spent on mission with scem will be a week well invested for your future.  If you are a gifted Bible teacher and can offer teaching for a team for a week we would love to hear from you.

Prayer Partner

We depend totally on friends who provide prayer support for scem teams.  We would really value your commitment to pray for us.  We would be glad to send you our prayer updates.

The Team

Travelling from Carluke, Cheltenham, Dalry, Dumfries, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Renfrew, Troon and Paisley, we represented ten different churches, and varied from first-time Scemers to seasoned veterans. But after a first meal together and some fun activities we were off to a good start.

Let the little children come to me

Let the little children come to me

‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as them.’ These are the words of Jesus in Matthew 19 v 14 and during the week’s mission in Campbeltown this was our motivation for running a children’s club each weekday morning.

The theme for the children’s club was ‘Go For Gold’ which is based around the life of Paul, with the gold ultimately being to live for Jesus. Each day’s club was action packed with songs, stories, quizzes crafts etc. The SCEM team and the church worked wonderfully well together. Each member was so incredibly willing which made leading the team very easy indeed as everyone was so willing to use their God-given talents.

Nine years have passed since we, in Springbank Church, Campbeltown have hosted a SCEM mission team. It was then with a sense of a new beginning that this year’s mission unfurled.

The team that came together, we feel, was designed by God. Each member in their own way ideal for the week’s activities and the people to whom they were ministering. It was a young team but ideal for our setting.

This summer we held our fifth consecutive summer mission in partnership with the small assembly at Lewis Street Gospel Hall, with a team of eleven people of various ages. As housemum, I have to make particular note of their on-time (or nearly!) lights-out. No walking the corridors late into the night. Bliss!
