Don't waste your life

Only what's done for Christ will last"

SCYC 2007


The Vang Gang spent 2 weeks in July at the Shetland Christian Youth Camp (SCYC) in Sumburgh, Shetland.

This year there were 3 children's camps running from Tuesday to Saturday and a youth weekend from Thursday to Sunday. The children's camps were fully subscribed with 80 campers each week. About 35 young people were at the youth weekend.

It was a great joy to be able to tell the children about God's plan of salvation at the meetings in the first 2 camps. In the 3rd camp, Graeme Paterson from Plains, Scotland, was responsible for the meetings and Paul Coxall from "our" assembly (Fernielea Gospel Hall) in Aberdeen spoke at the meetings at the youth weekend.

All four camps went well and we are thankful to God for His provisions and help for the camps. Our prayer is that many of the 275 or so young people who heard God's word will trust in the Lord Jesus for their salvation and live for Him.

This year was the 14th year that SCYC has had children's camps and, having been involved since the start, it's great to be able to look back and see how this work has grown and how God has blessed.
