  • A national conference, run by our national organisation.
  • A focus on training and being sent with the gospel.
  • A chance to be involved in mission.
  • 2500 Students, a big event, big energy and a big opportunity.

Other considerations

  • Energy levels – will I be able to go in with enough energy?
  • Do I need to make any different travel arrangements? (E.g. not coming back to Adelaide)
  • Can I make it to the whole thing? And make sure I’ve got the time blocked out.
  • Can I drive & serve by driving others?
  • Can I be an encouragement to others and to the team and team culture?
