SU Ukraine '13
An exciting opportunity to be part of a team going to serve SU Ukraine - one of SU Scotland's international partners. Come and build on previous years' work, deepening relationships and nurturing new ones through camps and other outreach.
We are looking for a team of about 10 people to go to Ukraine in July 2013. As part of the team you will be involved in the leadership of an SU Ukraine camp based at Vorzel, a small village about an hour from Kiev. The campsite is simply known as Vorzel and has a variety of buildings and activity facilities. Scripture Union (Open Bible) in Ukraine has been running residential holidays and day camps (holiday clubs) for the almost 20 years and the campsite at Vorzel is important to many young people in Ukraine. As part of the mission trip we will be assisting in small groups, involved in activity provision and helping Ukrainians to learn some English in fun and exciting ways. We also hope that there will be some opportunity to sightsee in Kiev.
This international trip will last for 2 weeks and is likely to be from Friday 5th July or Saturday 6th July to Saturday 20th or Sunday 21st July 2013. We aim to have some time at Vorzel both at the beginning and the end of the camp. The estimated cost is £800 although this will depend on final flight prices and is approximate until these can be confirmed.
Applying:
- You need to be in at least S5 and be 16
- Download and complete the SU Scotland volunteers form
- Ensure you have given the referee forms to two people who know you
- Complete the supplementary questions sheet (under Supporting Information)

Respond Rwanda
In an exciting new partnership, we have joined up with Urban Saints to take a team to Rwanda in summer 2013. We are looking for about 12 people to make up a team who will go and work with SU Rwanda in Kigali. You will have the opportunity to go into local schools, alongside other Rwandan young people and talk about your faith. We will also be helping to run kids clubs and possibly other practical tasks. Most of the time will be spent living in the SU Centre in Kigali although there may be trips to churches or events further afield.
This will be a 3-week trip, scheduled from mid-July to early August. The estimated cost is around £1500, although this will depend on final flight prices etc. You need to be in S5 or above to apply. If you want to have an amazing experience serving God, sharing your faith, learning from others and building new friendships - all in the exciting country of Rwanda - then do get in touch with us.
The closing date for applications has now passed.

Frontline Summer Team
Ready to step out of your comfort zone? It'll be life-changing!
Here's the challenge: submerge yourself in another culture for an adventure lasting up to three weeks, engaged in God's work among children and young people in Europe.
You may find the whole experience involves depending on God's strength rather than your own abilities - and that's character-building!
If you're over 16 and want to do something different and meaningful with your summer, then a Frontline mission team could be for you.
You could be organising Bible discovery sessions for teenagers or leading craft activities for children in Romania. Or teaching English in Hungary. Or organising games and sports and caring for children on camp in Slovakia or Ukraine.
It's guaranteed to be hard work - but also great fun. And there will be free time with opportunities for sightseeing to add to the enriching experiences of your stay. Click here to find out more.
