Being on a puppet team is a great way to serve our younger children, helping them to see different viewpoints and telling them the truths of the Bible.

  • this work is mainly in primary schools
  • some area puppet teams go into schools regularly
  • other area teams only support end of term special celebrations such as Christmas and Easter

 

Contact your local area schools worker for more information.

Be a Prayer Supporter
 
Could you pray for, and with, your area schools’ worker? Could you organise a half termly (or monthly) prayer meeting in your area? Could you enable others to meet to pray as a group for your local children and young people?
 
Prayer is so important for us and for the children and young people in our schools’ communities.  The role of Prayer Supporter would require you to liaise with your area staff team and Area Support Group to receive prayer info and pray, or pass on to others who pray around you.
 
A local Prayer Supporter role will include:
  • receiving the regular prayer reports for your area and praying
  • joining a local area prayer group, or organising one if there isn’t one

Contact your area staff for information regarding the above.

.

A ‘NISCU-wide’ Prayer Supporter role will include:

  • setting up and maintaining a ‘pray4schools’ prayer group for your local school (see our pray for schools page for more info)
  • praying for central services, administration, listening services and strategy

Contact nick.klein@niscu.org.uk for further information regarding the above.

Be a Fun Fundraiser

We are looking for Fundraisers who can help us either find funding online from funding organisations, or who can practically arrange and support fun fundraising events in their local area. More fundraising ideas click here

All of the money that allows us to employ staff to be in schools comes and further the work of NISCU comes from fundraising or local church & individual giving.
