AYC 2011 will be held in Melbourne from Feb 10-13 2011. Please continue to check back for more details in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile in the month of August, the largest Adventist evangelistic effort ever to hit Melbourne universities will be coming! The iDiscover seminars will begin at Melbourne, Monash and Victoria Universities on Friday 20 August 2010. Have a look at the website at www.idiscover.org.au.
There are several ways you can get involved.
STEP 1: GO PRAY!
This one is for everyone. As our groundwork activities escalate, I’m reminded of Pr Dwight Nelson’s sermon at AYC this year in which he encouraged us to make a prayer list of five people and to pray for them every day. How have you been going with that? If you haven’t started your prayer list, now is a great time to start!
The AYC team would love to see delegates GO to their knees for their friends and family, PURPOSEFULLY and PASSIONATELY pray for them and by the POWER of the Holy Spirit to bring them along to iDiscover in August. iDiscover presents a fantastic opportunity for your friends and family to hear the full Adventist message and to make a decision for Jesus. Please pray for us too as we increase our letterboxing, doorknocking, street- and campus-outreach efforts.
STEP 2: GO TO THE GROUND!
There is much work to be done and the labourers are few. Can you help with letterboxing or doorknocking? I read tonight in Christian Service (p. 92):
“I have read of a man who, journeying on a winter's day through the deep, drifted snow, became benumbed by the cold which was almost imperceptibly stealing away his vital powers. And as he was nearly chilled to death by the embrace of the frost king, and about to give up the struggle for life, he heard the moans of a brother traveller, who was perishing with cold as he was about to perish. His humility was aroused to rescue him. He chafed the ice-clad limbs of the unfortunate man, and, after considerable effort, raised him to his feet; and as he could not stand, he bore him in sympathizing arms through the very drifts he had thought he could never succeed in getting through alone. And when he had borne his fellow traveller to a place of safety, the truth flashed home to him that in saving his neighbor he had saved himself also. His earnest efforts to save another quickened the blood which was freezing in his own veins, and created a healthful warmth in the extremities of the body.”
We have the promise that as we bring our humble efforts to God, the labour will revive and bless us as well as others. If you can contribute some of your time to work as part of the groundwork team at one of the evangelistic sites, please contact Lauren at
