On January 14, the second Sabbath of Big Camp, a special
baptism took place in Lake Jindabyne. Karlee Curtis-
Sullivan from Canberra who studied with Pr. James Toogood
and Rajko Celic, chose to be baptized by both pastors
together.
Noiy Richardson, of Griffith, and now Melbourne, daughter-inlaw
of Pr. Colin Richardson, had studied over a 3-year period,
Converge
For the second year running youth from around Australia
gathered for Converge, the festival of worship and fellowship
held at Stuart’s Point convention centre. Around 20 young
people from South NSW Conference were in attendance.
Key presenter Jeremy Anderson challenged the young
people to continually grow in their relationship with Jesus
and to go into the world and share the hope that we have. In
total around 350 youth were present at Converge and they
made the most of the opportunity to go to the beach, hang
out in the evening café, and make new friends. Converge will
be running again next year so if you didn’t get there this year,
make sure you don’t miss out!
Pr. Colin Richardson baptising Nioy
chose Jesus as her Saviour. She was baptized by Pr. Colin, who
was assisted by his son (Noiy’s husband) Kelden, through whose
influence she began to seek the Lord. Both young ladies gave
special testimony on the Lord’s leading in their lives, and after
the baptism, several persons indicated a desire to be baptized
in the near future.
