4 Church of Scotland - Mission and Discipleship Church of Scotland - Mission and Discipleship We are called to take a lead role in promoting an overall focus for mission in Scotland. This reflects the recognition that our whole identity in the church is bound up with our sharing and living out the Good News in our time and place. In all aspects of our work, therefore, we seek to develop an attitude that is outward looking and shaped by the worship of God and the mission imperative of the Gospel. Our second, closely related, priority is to develop and deliver to congregations quality resources to assist their own renewal as communities of nurture, worship and witness. Our Council aims to develop a wholly collaborative approach to our work, both within the Council, in partnership with other Councils and agencies of the Church of Scotland, and with others ecumenically. We look to the future with confidence, and in prayerful dependence on the living Christ. 121 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4YN Tel: ext 288 JMcCarthy@cofscotland.org.uk 9 Pilrig Street, Edinburgh Tel: mail@ecm.org.uk Edinburgh City Mission Our aim is to share the love and compassion of Jesus Christ with the people of Edinburgh touching both practical and spiritual needs and working in close co-operation with the churches.

Our vision is that every international student in the UK have a Christian friend, giving them the opportunity to respond to the message of Jesus Christ and return home with the desire and skills to spread the Gospel in their own country and throughout the world.

Many come from restricted access countries where there are limited opportunities to hear the Gospel. Often they return to positions of influence in government, education or business. International students come to study, but they are also open to learning about local culture and this provides opportunities for Christians to share their faith. Friends International encourages local churches to respond in sensitive ways, seeking to care for people and be respectful of all cultures, while also maintaining a sense of urgency in our task to share the Gospel with the nations. This ministry seeks to make the most of a wonderful opportunity and is too strategic to ignore.
