Mission Trip to Scotland
October 1 – 10, 2025
Join us on a Mission Trip to Edinburgh, Scotland to assist ECO Church planters, Caleb & Summer Schocklie.
Participants will be doing outreach and evangelism in the community where the Shocklie’s are working toward planting a church and learning how to better evangelize and share their faith in a post-Christian context.
Trip Details
What will we be doing?
This trip seeks to take us out of our context to be able to learn how to better evangelize and witness in a different one.
Partnering with the Shocklies to engage in outreach activities for their church plant, participants will have opportunities to connect with local church partners, receive hands-on training on sharing the gospel in a post-Christian context, and have guided Spiritual Formation to help discern how to use the skills and experiences they will learn back home and for our church.
Activities include but are not limited to: Outreach days in Holyrood Park, Prayer walking, learning from local church partners, engaging in outreach/community service with local church partners, spiritual formation and discipleship. Our context in Central Ohio is looking more and more like the context of the Shocklies in Edinburgh. This trip will seek to connect practices, skills, and gifts of participants back into our Central Ohio context to further Bethel’s Mission and Programs.
What’s the total cost and what will be included?
The approximate cost is $2,300 ($1,800 after Bethel subsidy). This will cover airfare, lodging, food, and transportation. This price is dependent on airfare costs and final lodging and food may be cheaper.
Deadline
We need a soft commitment by March 31, 2025.
