If you are high energy, love health, and being part of a team, whilst raising funds for a few key charities including ADRA. There are two spots left for the 25000spins Alps to Ocean in NZ starting late January. DOWNHILL, my kind of ride… 100kms in a day…. well maybe my kind of ride.

But if you think that’s too easy, then there is Canberra to Mount Kosciuszko Ride4Rescue has twelve spots left in February 2025. This is only for mountain bikes or gravel bikes. (yes, that’s a real thing)

For information on either one see Ben or David at the Baenana van when you order your dessert.

The snakes are waking up and there have been a few sightings around camp. This one was a ‘green’ tree snake with different colouring and is harmless. However, not all little snakes that have been seen around camp are harmless, so please treat them with respect and call the snake catcher, Mark Goldsmith, on 0417 917 752.

Big Camp is a wonderful time to socialise and learn new skills and ideas at the workshops. The Prayer Tent is a beautiful sanctuary where you can combine the two by taking someone else or a group of friends to pray. The Bible says ‘where two or three are gathered’ so why not make that practical at some time today? Or just read the prayers others have left and pray over them.

Throughout the week, the Women’s Ministry tent has been studying how to fight the Devil on a spiritual battleground. The reports have been good, and the meetings very well attended. If you haven’t been (and you are one of our women) then check it out today.

The work is before us; will we engage in it? We must work fast, we must go steadily forward. We must be preparing for the great day of the Lord. We have no time to lose, no time to be engaged in selfish purposes. The world is to be warned. What are we doing as individuals to bring the light before others? God has left to every man his work; every one has a part to play, and we cannot neglect this work except at the peril of our souls (Selected Messages, Volume 1, 126).

From Friday 20th September starting at 11:30am, our schools and ELCs will be in the Piazza (between the Big Tent and Baenana) for a fun-filled morning with family friendly activities and giveaways. There will be some amazing things on display that have been created by the staff and students of our schools.

Although the sunset is not until 5:43 PM, the opening Sabbath program starts at 5:30 in the Big Tent. This way everyone on camp can be gathered in one place to welcome this special time with God together.
