About S.E.M. Podcast - Scotland, Edinburgh Mission

The S.E.M. Podcast is conversations with former missionaries that served in the Scotland Edinburgh Mission, during the timeframe of Pres. & Sis. Wilkins, Pres. & Sis. Vriens, & Pres. & Sis. Fredrick (July 2000-July 2009). As we all venture nearer and nearer to being 20 years removed from our time together in Scotland, we have created this podcast as a way to reconnect with our fellow missionaries, friends, and loved ones still in Scotland, and to share all about how we came to live and love Scotland in ways that many of us never thought possible. Come along with Jack Bryce & Zack Hewlett!
