A key aspect of our mission is working with young people directly, normally in partnership with churches in a particular area. This has seen us working in schools and community drop-ins as well as engaging in detached street work. In summer 2009 we ran a street mission centred around football and music alongside the Keswick in Buckie convention.

One of the most exciting initiatives we are currently working on is a partnership with churches in Mastrick and Northfield in Aberdeen, which will see Christians working with young people in the community there. Currently a steering group comprising members of local churches and NESYFC is meeting regularly to pray for this work and see it put into action. As part of this, NOMAD, one of British YFC's sports mission teams, came to the area in May 2009 and had a fantastic time connecting with young people in the area. Following on from that, a team of local volunteers is being established to work in schools and the wider community. We also welcome Tom and Laura, two gap year volunteers with British YFC's ETA year out programme, to join our local team. For more information on supporting this project - with your prayer, time, money or in other ways - please get in touch.

The local churches currently partnering in the project are: Middlefield Parish Church, Northfield Parish Church, St Clements Episcopal Church and Sheddocksley Baptist Church.
