11.29G-Champs & Cabinet
Lots of political news today with the Liberal leadership being voted on and team KRudd being announced.
Just thinking about the similarities between a Ministry Cabinet and our G-Champs.
A cabinet member of the government has their portfolio (education, industrial relations, immigration, arts, etc…) but continues in the core of their work in representing the people of [...]

On the whole, Youthworks run a very good conference. The cross of Christ was preached and there are many encouraging things going on around Sydney evangelical youth ministries.
There was some great content from the Bible on leadership. I would have been interested in hearing something of some reflections on secular leadership and the lessons we [...]
The band formerly known as The Richard Beeston Band, All Mankind, played the congregation music at the conference.
It was very good. Tight, rock, well-arranged, good song selection.
There was one funny song that was played a couple of times. Can’t remember it, didn’t know it, it was something from 1999. The lyrics spoke of lifting your [...]
John Woodhouse and Jim French were the two speakers on Tuesday.
Woodhouse spoken on leadership from 1 Samuel 24. He argued that the whole of 1 Samuel is about leadership. From the Judges to Eli to Samuel to Saul to David. There were helpful insights on the contrast between the people’s King (Saul) and the Lord’s [...]
11.27YMC07 #5 - Dinner
Over the last 3 years at this conference, I haven’t ever made it along to the dinner on the first night. That trend continued again this year!
But. Row came down and we hung out with one of Row’s school friends and her fiancé. Good times: Good (Vietnamese) food. Good fun. Great conversations.

“An opportunity to talk about ministry life or the big picture of where youth ministry is going in Australia - it’s up to you.”
That is what was written on the brochure… so I spent a good chunk of time on the train in the morning writing down thoughts and reflections on Australian Youth Ministry and [...]
Steve’s second talk was from 2 Timothy 3:1-17. Another engaging and scripture-rich talk.
INTRO - Steve told a funny story about meeting Goran Ivaniševi? 3 times. As a result Steve was influenced by Goran to play tennis. We are all influenced by something…
1A) LEADERS SHAPED BY SELF (2 Tim 3:2-5) these people who are lovers of [...]
In the first session today, Steve Chong spoke passionately from 2 Timothy 2:1-14. Awesome! We’ve been dealing with some big things lately so it was a timely message that brought me great encouragement.
INTRO - Steve began by making it clear that Christian leadership is hard. The Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ himself each had a [...]
I’m attending a youth ministry conference run by youthworks this week at moore college, newtown. My prediction (and hope and prayer) is that it will be more cross-centred than the conference on the Gold Coast a month ago.
I’ve really enjoyed this conference over the past 3 years. This year the theme is on Leadership. Bring [...]
