  • Are you interested in what happens in other countries, in the developing world?
  • Would you like to meet new people who are interested in similar things to you?
  • Have you thought about going abroad to do a short-term project, with a group of friends?
  • Have you been abroad and would like to share your experiences, or compare notes?

  • Initiate a range of events or projects, from presentations on overseas development to organising a team to go overseas for 2-3 weeks to support a project in a developing country
  • Provide opportunities to involve friends and family in the church community
  • Create a network which can support and pray for those embarking on short term mission or overseas projects - from initial thoughts to return to Edinburgh
