Come to hear the united children’s voices from all the children’s divisions (Tiny Tots to Juniors) at Big Camp. They will sing the songs they have learned this week at camp. This will start at 4:00pm in the Big Tent today, concluding with a closing Sabbath and Closing Camp message by Pr Brett Townend.

Same discounts as the camp store, the ABC still has stock of PATRITTI, come and collect yours before they are SOLD OUT too.

Pr Dada from Alstonville SDA Church is on a mission trip right NOW. They have completed their project which has also used their financial resources. His Annual leave is running out, but if we can raise the $5,000 by the end of camp, we can gift a school new cooking classroom and he will get it done.

Due to the speed needed we are using GoFundMe right this time. And it it going to Carol Boehm‘s fundraising account (South Pacific Division) to be delivered directly to them.

If you have ever felt like there must be something more, that talents you have are being wasted at worst or not utilised to their fullest at best. Rest assured those feeling can come from what the Bible talks about burying talents in the sand, and not improving them.  Sometime we are capable of so much more, but it seems circumstance prevents us reaching those goals.  If you feel anything like this then this workshop is essential for you to attend.

The presenters here are very good at building a personal brand for people through coaching, and allowing them to achieve their goals.

The workshop is actually in two parts, and it’s not just about formatting a resume to make it look professional, and the usual ways they can be written.  The first part is about special ways of crafting a resume to make sure you make the short list for the job or position you really want.

The second part is how to use and leverage the social media/linked in profiles to position yourself in a place where companies will actually chase you, and head hunt you.

With people in careers usually working for a single employers for about 2.5 to 3.5 years these days, it is becoming so much more important to have these skills.

Completing this workshop will also allow you to become part of the SPD Division People Strategy, we are working to improve Talent Attraction within church entities by growing the Adventist Professionals LinkedIn Group.  It is a private group (it can have up to 2 million members) and we hope to grow it so that we have as many of our church members on it as possible.

This quality training would usually cost hundreds of dollars, and be difficult to access people of this calibre. so take advantage of it on the last workshop day at camp.

Location Change: to the Pine Rivers Church
3:45-4:45

Presented by Pr Joseph Maticic, General Secretary, South QLD Conference and Latasha Penate, Conference Membership Secretary

For decades, the church has operated on a “come and see” model of evangelism. People were willing to go to church or check out weekly ministries because the church was broadly seen as trustworthy and needed. Sadly, today that is not always the case. Thus in order to connect with the unchurched, our model of evangelism needs to turn outward, shifting from a “come and see” to a “go and connect” mentality. In order to be effective in connecting with the unchurched – we have to start meeting people right where they are. Because guess what? We can’t meet people where they are not. One of the things we notice about Jesus method of connecting with each individual is that they were each a little different. In this workshop we explore some practical ways to connect and share Jesus.

Pastor Nicu Dumbrava is the Personal Ministries Director for the Australian Union Conference.

Although it isn’t listed in the focus, it is in the App and filling the place of the cancelled workshop. It will be run by George, the trainer who has been running the early morning fitness sessions.

George makes a big claim of “If you reduce the risk factors of chronic disease, you can reverse the effects of the disease in anywhere from two weeks to two years.” but he clarifies that it is not a cure.  God can cure, we can only reduce the risk factors, so if you go back to your old ways, things will return.

George has been studying this for 25 years, and read over 5,000 articles and 500 books in his search for health.  Because in his 20’s he was super fit and super sick.  He could do 104 push-ups, but he was sick and in pain all the time.  But when he researched it and discovered the root cause then he changed his life, for the better.

Chronic diseases include commonly known conditions such as:

• arthritis
• high blood pressure
• sleep apnoea
• obesity
• PCOS
• fatty liver
• diabetes
• osteoporosis
• heart disease
• cancer
• asthma
