As you read this (if you read it today, Wednesday), National Training Event is wrapping up and University Students are preparing to go on mission for a week to Churches like ours. The National Training Event (NTE) is an annual conference held in Canberra, bringing thousands of students and graduates together from across Australia and the world to be transformed by the gospel, trained in the gospel, and sent with the gospel.
In fact, 9 of them from the Sunshine Coast University are coming to join us this afternoon for a week of proclaiming life in Christ!
They’ll be sharing in our Bible study groups, helping run our Playtime, Kids Club and Youth Group, partnering with us at Wilton Carols, and sharing in our Church services on Sunday. Please take the opportunity to meet and get to know them, and to encourage them as they encourage you.
This is just another reminder that we are part of Christ’s Church, which extends far beyond the boundaries of Picton and Wilton. It’s also a great encouragement that God is raising up the next generation of leaders for his Church and he is powerfully at work in the lives of young people!
Blessings,
Ben
