2024 20schemes Scotland - Women's Training Trip

This trip is a vision trip for women leaders within Southeast Church.

Gracemount is a housing scheme in Edinburgh with a population of approximately 3000 people. Although it’s a tight-knit, friendly, and protective community, it falls into the ‘Most Deprived’ category of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD).

In regards to income, employment, health, education, housing, and crime, Gracemount is ‘statistically significantly worse than the Scottish average.’ However, the biggest need, the most urgent crisis, and the most crippling poverty in Gracemount is spiritual. Most living there are spiritually dead, trapped, lost, unreached and unengaged by the church.

Though there is a small Church of Scotland congregation in Gracemount, the need is great and the labourers are very few. Without the sustained witness of a gospel church, with the vision to engage and reach those who are ‘most deprived’ with the gospel, this need will remain unmet.

*All trip members must have reached their 18th birthday by the first day of the trip.  Due to the amount of walking and physical activity typically seen on a mission trip, participants need to be in good health and ready for a high-energy week.  A visa is no longer required for U.S. citizens to enter Scotland.  Aside from the SE required forms, 20 Schemes has additional requirements to complete including a volunteer agreement, a background check from Chekr.com, downloading WhatsApp on your phone and completion of the "What is the Gospel Course."  Your team leader will help you through this process.

We look forward to serving you,
SE Missions Ministry
