About This Year's AMYC

The Australian Methodist Youth Convention (AMYC) is back!

This year PERTH is proud to host the 15th AMYC, and it's going to be a great one! A big thank you to Adelaide for hosting last year's convention.

The convention will be held from 29 November until 2 December at Ern Halliday Recreation Camp, Hillarys, Perth. The Chinese speaker is Rev. Liu Xiao Ping and the English speaker will be Rev. Dr. Brian Harris.

The Chinese theme this year is 武灵英雄,吾领先锋.
领袖常常是许多人向往并想拥有的一个地位、权柄。在圣经中也有许多优秀的领袖,比如摩西、约书亚、但以理甚至是国王如扫罗王、大卫王及所罗们王。这些大伟人都不是靠着自己的聪明或智慧治理百姓,乃是有上帝的恩典、祝福、力量、聪明与智慧引领着。

我们是否曾经被神蒙召但却因害怕而将圣灵的感动推到远远的呢? 心里曾烧起的灵火,冷冷的被扑灭。上帝不会将我们所 不能承担的加给我们。 盼望透过这营会,每一位弟兄姐妹能勇敢的面对现在与将来的困难。无任是在社会工作或教会的生活事奉都做个好帮主!

以圣经的话成为我们脚前的灯,路上的光!


The English theme this year is Called To Lead. As young people, leadership is something that we might not be familiar with. You might think that we're not all born to be leaders. Leadership is necessarily restricted to those in the traditional leadership roles - like in your Youth Group.

However, God has called us to be leaders in our homes, schools, workplaces and church. As you'll find out, we are all called to lead, and to set an example for others in the faith.

What does it mean to be a leader though? Sure, having the personal skills of leadership, such as vision, drive, integrity, servanthood, setting a good example - these help; but also it means to carry out the tasks God have given to us. We have to do His work, and we have to lead sinners to Jesus.

Let's come together and learn how to be 21st century leaders!

"May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd." Numbers 27:16-17

We would LOVE to see you in Perth at the end of the year! Keep your diaries free for the week, take time off work, book your flights early! Perth is (in my opinion) the best city in the world to live in! We have the best beaches, a relaxed lifestyle, and the most friendly people. I know I'm a bit biased, but you'll have to see for yourself what we have to offer. Why not take a few days before or after the convention to go and explore?

God bless, see you in November!
