NZYC 2008

I know this post is a bit late, as the NZYC (New Zealand Youth Conference) was back in January. But I thought that I'd better give some info about it sooner or later, so here it is...

This, believe it or not, is the whole group - all 54 of us, including the speakers. :) Definatley not as big as the GYC! Well, this group might be small, but it sure was mighty!

We all got to choose different workshops and activites during the day, and Dr Allan Lindsay did the morning seminar and Pr John Bradshaw did the evening one. My activities included food parcels (handing out free food to poor communities provided by Sanitarium), community service (I lucked out - we helped at riding for the disabled! yay!), and chair massage.

There's so much more to say, but its kinda hard to put it all into words... but it sure was great getting together with other Adventist youth from all over the north island. I made some great new friends, and learned alot. Dr Lindsey's talks were the absolute best ever! And it was a good consolation to not being able to go to the AYC in Australia...

Our chair massage! We got taught how to do it in a seminar, and about how to share your personal testemony at the same time. It was amazing - God really blessed our efforts!
By the end of the day, we had TONS of people signed up for the bible prophecy seminars and study guides, and our literature table was empty! PTL!! :)

All in all, NZYC was a fantastic experience, and I'm really sad that I won't be here or able to go next year. It was absolutly wonderful, and I'll be remembering it for years to come. :)
