Category: Youth Ministry Training


Interview with Raj Gupta (Conference Chairman) during the main session on Thursday morning.

Over the past week I’ve spent five days at the Katoomba Youth Leadership Conference (KYLC). This event provides excellent training for people in ministry and Bible teaching.

Mandy and I led a strand group, which consists of around ten students who receive personal training in how to prepare a Bible study. Ours was for third-time delegates, and covered Systematic Theology.

In addition, I ran four afternoon workshops, each of an hour and half’s duration. On Monday and Tuesday I took the 200 Stand One students through a 3 hour introduction to youth ministry. On Wednesday I conducted a session for strand leaders explaining the course changes. Finally on Thursday I took some of the Strand Three students through the topic ‘dealing with trouble’.

Next week I will be repeating the four afternoon sessions for the second week group.

Effective Monday 25th November, I have started as a Youth Ministry Adviser with Anglican Youthworks.

As part of my new job, I am available to Anglican churches in the Sydney Diocese for consultations at no charge, to run training and to assist in any way possible. Other denominations are welcome to contact me to discuss how I can assist you.

My particular focus is church-based youth ministry in the Sydney Anglican Diocese regions of Georges River and South Sydney, as well as the Sutherland Shire. However, I am also available for training and consultation throughout the Diocese at large.

I would also love to come and speak at your church, youth group or school.

Our contact details have changed. You can see them on the contact me page.

Also, it’s only 5 weeks to go until the due date of our third child, so only one more major change to go… God willing!
