Acts 1:8
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
These words spoken by Jesus 2000 years ago were the spark that began a movement across the world and throughout history that changed our world. The same promise, command and power is available to us today, and so Act1v8 is a focus for our church to continue taking the gospel message to our Jerusalem [Edinburgh], Judea and Samaria [Scotland and the UK] and to the ends of the earth. See below for how you can be part of it!

Below are the teams that are currently planned. Edinuburgh and local opportunities also exist, but for now this webpage presents those further afield that require advanced planning. Local teams will be added here in due course.
To find out more information, to just register interest or commit and sign up for a team, contact the team leader. Where a team leader isn't in place yet, then a point of contact has been established who you can contact. You'll need to sign-in to reveal the contact information for the team leader or point of contact - if you don't have a sign-in for the website, then you can email Missions@Leaders.carrubbers.org to find out more about any team or speak to these people in person.
We want these opportunities to be available to all the congregation and it is anticipated that individuals and teams will fundraise to help cover the costs. Even with this, if cost is a potential barrier to you joining a team, please speak to the team leader as there are some funds available to help.
Attend and assist at a conference hosted by the Metropolitan Mission - an organisation that Carrubbers has been supporting for many years. See first hand how the church in India is rapidly growing and some of the joys and challenges it faces. Opportunities exist to provide practical assistance on ongoing projects.

I am hoping to plan a CCC Act1v8 team to go and visit Sarah and Bjorn-Richard in Romania in November this year. Sarah and Bjørn-Richard work with Restore ministries in a Roma community outside Sighișoara in Central Romania. Their goal is to “Restore hope for a future.” The team will have opportunities to serve teenage mothers, children, youth and help practically in the Education Centre whilst also having time in the Roma community for home visits. All ages are welcome. Restore’s teams to date have ranged from 4 months to 87 years. If you have interest in serving an impoverished people group with a great need to hear and experience the love of God, you would be so welcome to join.
Team status: FULL
When? November, 1 week
Estimated Cost: £450 per person
Team Leader: Eilidh Pederson
