So, Step Out 2010 has finally started! Our young people are in two places in the central belt this week. There is one team at Allander Evangelical Church in Milngavie, who are running a children’s club using our “Heaven’s Kitchen” material last year. There is also a team in Coatbridge who are running a children’s club using our new “Tractor Tales” material. Please pray for our teams. Here are a few prayer points:

• Pray for unity amongst the teams, that they would work well together
• Pray for Claire Small and Gordon Stewart as they lead the Coatbridge team
• Pray for strength for the teams, especially for the people on the Step Out+ team, who have many more weeks of mission after this one
• Pray for the churches, that church members would be able to get alongside the children so they can follow up the work after the missions.

We will update you on how things are going as the week progresses, but in Coatbridge on Monday morning, there were forty-six children! Give praise to God for that, and pray they would have open hearts and minds, taking in the things they have been taught – and that they would come back for more!

This weekend marks the start of this summer’s Step Out missions. Over the summer, we will be posting up information about each mission, the teams and prayer points for each week. Make sure you check back regularly as we post prayer points for each mission, news about how each mission is going and maybe post the odd picture! Take a look at the Step Out 2010 page for all the information in one place.

Many people have already returned their forms for this summer’s Step Out missions, but there are still spaces left on teams and we would love to have you involved, whether you have never been on Step Out before, are a regular member of Step Out teams, or have been on a Step Out mission before but haven’t been involved for a while.

If you are aged 14 or over, have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, want to share your faith with others, be part of a team doing that with a local Baptist church and grow in your own faith in the process, this is for you! Interested? Download the 2010 Step Out Application Form today!

Anyone who has been on a Step Out mission in the last couple of years should have already received a Step Out application form for this year either through the post or via email. We are currently accepting applications from young people to join our mission teams over the summer.
