Dear Friend,
Thank you for your ongoing support of the ministry of 20schemes!
"I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people."
Philemon 1:6-7 NIV
As we come into the summer, our 20schemes churches are busy sharing the gospel with their communities through various outreaches.
Read on for ways you can be praying for, giving & coming to be part of the Lord's work in the schemes of Scotland.

Pastoral Friendship Event
Tickets are still available for our Brian Croft event in Edinburgh on Friday 11th August!
This event is based off Brian's latest book, Pastoral Friendship, which seeks to persuade pastors, elders, women's & ministry workers of the essential need for friendships while serving in church ministry. The event itself will be a great opportunity to build connections and partnerships with other church leaders.
You can get early-bird tickets for just £10, or a buy-one-get-one-half-price ticket for £15 so you can bring someone else from your church leadership team!

Come on a Vision Trip!
A great way to support 20schemes is through church-to-church partnerships.
Visit Scotland on a Vision Trip with your church and explore ways that your church can build healthy partnerships with a new church plant in the schemes.

Prayer Points
- As summer begins, many of our church plants are reaching out into their communities through things like children's holiday clubs! Pray for these outreaches, that young people would come to know Jesus through the Bible talks, and that connections would be made with the families!
- Some of our staff are taking time off over the summer, including sabbaticals for some of our ministry workers. Pray that God would give rest to these people so that they may come back refreshed for Kingdom work.
- We've had Mission teams visiting the church plants from partner churches and have been such a blessing. Give God thanks for them and pray these partnerships would grow and new ones would be established with some of our newer church plants.
