Help with Cage Towing
Wednesday, 28 March 2012 12:59
Our cage football project launches this June; an exciting way of taking sports mission to young people across the North East. We need drivers with towbars on their cars to assist our team by towing the cage to different locations from the base in Aberdeen. Your expenses will be covered, and this is a simple way to support our vital work, particularly if you're not in a position to help with the direct work with young people.
Can you help, either as a one-off or regularly? Contact us now:

Director
Saturday, 18 February 2012 15:12
We're happy to announce a change in roles amongst our staff. In recognition of his increasing input into the vision and development of NESYFC's ministry, our part-time outreach worker Steven Hamilton is now working as Centre Director. Our exec committee will continue to keep up the administrative side of things so Steven is able to keep working directly with young people for most of his time, but the new role allows him freedom to shape the work as God leads him. Please pray for Steven as he takes on this additional responsibility, and for the rest of the NESYFC team, as we support him in the role and obediently seek God's will for ways to reach more young people better.
Commenting on the new role, Steven said:
"I feel this is the right way to move in being more deliberately the missional arm of the church to young people. I really look forward to
- finding out how to support and equip churches in their youth outreach, - praying for them and - providing them a good example with our work in the shire."

Cage ministry to launch on 16th June 2012
We're excited to announce the impending launch of our own cage football ministry, in the summer of next year. This builds on the success of two visits by British YFC's NOMAD team and our own use of a borrowed cage for summer mission in Buckie a couple of years ago. Details of a special launch event to follow. You can see a video of the cage in Buckie here.

Volunteer Appeal
Monday, 16 May 2011 15:22
We have an urgent need to fill a number of vacancies within our core team to help our work continue. Please consider getting involved - it's a way to see God at work with young people in the North East and is a great chance to grow in your own faith as well as serving.
There are two positions on our executive committee (board of trustees): Volunteer Co-ordinator and Publicity Co-ordinator. Aside from monthly meetings, each of these jobs only take up a few hours a month and other members of the exec will be on hand to offer support to help people settle in. You can get a poster with more detail on each of the jobs here.
We also need help with our monthly event Breathe; with stewarding, technical team and leading games. If you feel called to help with our ministry in any way or would just like to know more, please contact Alasdair Brownlee on
