Casting a
Vision for
the future
-- Pr Rick Hergenhan -
One of the best things about being a youth director is to work with young people who are full of energy and have a passion to
change the world. It never ceases to amaze me what can be done for the kingdom of heaven when a young person has a vision
and then sets about to make that vision a reality. Vision is very important. In fact the bible says in Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no
vision, the people perish”, so on Friday night the 21st of September youth and young adults from across the conference gathered at
Adventist Alpine Village in Jindabyne for the “Youth Round Table” to seek direction from God. Unlike most other youth gatherings
there was no speaker and the main aim was to come together to seek the will of God for the future of youth ministries across the
conference. A lot of time was spent in prayer and seeking God’s will with the aim to collectively work out three main things:
1. Purpose - what do the youth of the South NSW conference exist for?
2. Picture of the future - What will youth ministry in South NSW look like by 2021?
3. Values - What are the five most important values that we will live by to achieve our purpose?
On the next page you can see what was collectively agreed upon during the weekend. So many times through the process we saw God’s
hand leading the discussion and it was very affirming for everyone present that God was leading the process.
The big challenge now is making the vision a reality. If young people from your church attended the weekend ask them to tell you
about the weekend. Also ask them how they would like to be involved in building your local church.
If you are a young person I want to encourage you to prayerfully seek God’s guidance as to how you can build the kingdom of heaven
right where you are.
If you would like to donate to help make this vision a reality, you can donate at the egiving website, www.egiving.org.au. It’s three
easy steps:
Step 1: Select your local church
Step 2: Select the offering “SNSW Youth Donations”
Step 3: Donate

PURPOSE
PICTURE OF
THE FUTURE
VALUES
To value youth by giving them the
authority and means to pursue their
ministry passions to bring more
people home.
By the end of 2021, South NSW youth
and young adults will be actively
involved in local church and Conference
ministries. This will include;
1. All youth know and understand their
spiritual gifts and have the authority
to bless the church with them.
2. Local churches and the Conference
investing in youth to provide
purposeful training and mentoring
(i.e. creative ministries program and
how to lead someone to Christ).
3. As many youth as possible and
practical involved in all aspects
of church leadership (including
eldership) and evidenced by a
minimum 100% increase over the 3
years.
4. As a result we want to see growth,
including tripling in number of youth,
an organized presence on every
university campus in our Conference
and have one functioning life hub
where youth and young adults can
bless the community with their gifts
and talents.
We believe these five values reflect
our purpose in living a Christ-centred,
prayer soaked, Bible based life
VALUE 1
Genuine Love
VALUE 2
Courageousness
VALUE 3
Integrity
VALUE 4
Excellence
VALUE 5

My Local Youth Group
Albury
Written By Naomi Oberson
Our young adults group in Albury consists of about
30+ active youth ranging from 18-30 years of age.
Each week there is always something on for the youth.
Jesus encourages us to meet and “break bread from house
to house...” (Acts 2:46) together on a regular basis. We
do this both spiritually and physically. On a fortnightly
basis we engage in bible study at various houses and
on the alternate week we have our Foodie Fortnights.
These involve each person bringing an ingredient along
to a themed cuisine night, which has included Greek,
Indian, Italian, sushi, chocolate making, Mexican,
bao bun nights and so many more themes yet to be
experienced.
We plan to use these well established events to reach out
to the community and particularly to uni students as we
prepare to make a presence at O week early next year.
Please pray for our Albury youth as we continue to find
ways to outreach to our own youth and those of the
community and universities.

From the Presidents Desk
Being a president comes with joy and also with many challenges and a good amount of stress. In October this year my 8th year as
President of the SNSW Conference has started and I have to admit that the older I get the heavier the role weighs on me. God has
blessed our conference in many ways and I want to thank each one of you for the contribution you have made to take this conference
to where it is today.
I have been contemplating and praying for a couple of months if I should go back to pastoral ministry and God has opened a door
for me in a way I had not expected.
A position as chaplain for one of our SDA retirement villages has come up and was offered to me. My wife and I brought this before
God and after many weeks of prayer Doris and I feel at peace to move to Queensland and to enjoy the new adventure offered to us.
Of course, there is also a lot of sadness connected with the decision as the SNSW Conference has been home to us for over 7 years.
On the other hand, I believe that the new position will be far less stressful and is something to look forward to.
Due to prior commitments I will only be taking up the new role Mid-March next year and Doris and I will still be attending camp
meeting and will take the opportunity to personally say “Good Bye” to the many campers who will attend.
May God bless you and keep you and may He guide your ways – always.
Kind regards,
Mike Faber

Pastoral Moves
Phil Yates
About three years ago Phil started his work as an Intern in our Conference and South Canberra Church will have many good
memories of his ministry.
A few weeks ago, Phil received a call from the Greater Sydney Conference to work as Youth Director for Pathfinders, Adventurers
and Adventist Outdoors. Phil has accepted the call and we sadly have to say good bye to Phil and his family as they will soon move
to Sydney.
We pray that God will bless Phil in his new role and that he and his family will have a smooth transition and quickly make new friends
in that big city.
Andrew Layland
As Phil Yates has accepted a call as Youth Director to the Greater Sydney Conference
our Board of Directors has been searching for a suitable replacement.
We have placed a call for Andrew Layland who has been working in various forms
of ministry since 2002. He served as a missionary in South Korea for 6 years and as
Youth Pastor at London’s largest International church and the Camp Hill Adventist
church, Birmingham, England. He served as Chaplain and Campus Ministries
Director at Newbold College of Higher Education, London, England and Senior
Pastor of the Southampton Central Church (The First Adventist church established
in the UK in 1880). Presently, Andrew is completing his second missionary
assignment at the Adventist University in Seoul, South Korea before he takes up his
position at the South Canberra Adventist Church.
Andrew has directed two church plants in the UK, one of which was a digital online
church, the first of its kind in the UK. His passion is to make known to all people
of all backgrounds the gospel of Jesus Christ and to make the gospel accessible to
all people.
Andrew Layland and family
Andrew is a native of England where he was raised as a third generation Adventist. He studied Politics and History at the University
of Wolverhampton, England and Newbold College Seminary, from which he earned a Master in Ministry degree.
He and his wife, Soon-im, have been married since 2004. They are proud parents of two daughters, Olivia (11 years old) and Rebekah
(7 years old).
We trust that all will go well with immigration and that Andrew and his family can be with us early 2019. We wish them God’s richest
blessing as they prepare for their move and we are looking forward to them joining our team in SNSW.

in Melbourne, before moving to the San to study Nursing. During
his time there, Jay was called by God into Ministry and has spent his last
years at Avondale training for this ministry purpose. Hayley also comes
with a nursing background. They love mission trips and the opportunities
to serve others. Jay has a contagious enthusiasm and has a huge heart
for people, community connections and young people. Hayley loves to
support him through hospitality and creative arts. They are excited about
their new adventure to move to South New South Wales were Jay will be
starting his Internship in the Western Planes district and as chaplain for
our school at Narromine.
Hayley and Jameson Pulelisi
God bless you, Jay and Hayley, and we are excited about you coming to our conference.
Russ and Shirl Alsop
Russ and Shirl have been working for our Conference in a special ministry role. While Russ was working as the Assistant Manager
for the Adventist Alpine Village at Jindabyne Shirl was working in housekeeping making sure the guest were looked after well and
accommodated comfortably.
While working at the Alpine Village they have blessed the visitors with their friendliness and kindness. They were also able to start a
bible study group in their home with close to 10 people in attendance from the village. Russ and Shirl have seen the Adventist Alpine
Village as a centre for mission and God has blessed them in reaching out to others. We will miss their smiles but wish them God’s
blessing as they move to Albury.

oken Hill // Volunteer award for culture
Marilyn Harris, from Broken Hill, recently organised with her students a concert for
Drought Relief with proceeds going to ADRA. Because she and her husband, John,
work closely with the local Theatre 44, the venue was made available free of charge and a total
of $1550 was raised.
At a recent Volunteers Award dinner in Broken Hill, Marilyn was given a Volunteer Award for
Culture in the city. It was stated that Marilyn has worked with the local Eisteddfod Society for
nearly 40 years, and that she is their current Secretary. Marilyn is also Secretary of Broken Hill
Repertory Society and organises 3 or 4 concerts a year to benefit Theatre 44. She is pianist for the
BH Philharmonic Choir, and for the Morgan Street Public School choir. Marilyn also teaches
singing and piano, and runs Moxie theatre group for children each week, and the Expression
Glee singing Ensemble.
Around the churches
This senior lady is also the treasurer for the Broken Hill Adventist Church for 30 years, preaches
once a month, teaches the Sabbath school lessons, plays the piano every Sabbath and is also the
technical person for that local church.

their son holding the volunteer award
Marilyn is a living example to what a difference senior people can make in their church and the society they live in. Congratulations
Marylin!! Well done!! May God give you many more years in service for Him and the people in your community.
canberra national // Baptisms and Baby dedication // Maia French
October 13 2018 was a particularly special Sabbath for Canberra National
Church as six new members were welcomed into the church family as they
proclaimed their love for Christ. The combined service commenced with hymns
before Pr. Justin joined with parents Chomba and Mwikisa, and siblings, Mbuyoti
and Musonida to dedicate their little daughter Thapelo to the Lord.
Akhil then preached on the story of Naaman (2 Kings 5). He focused on
the marvellous ability God has to transform the lives of the troubled and
suffering when they accept Him into their lives. Following this inspiring message,
Johanna was welcomed into church membership by profession of faith. She has been
baptised previously and has been having bible studies by Pr. Justin.

After this, Pr. Justin read out the baptismal vows in preparation for an astounding
five baptisms. Francis, who has been having bible studies with Pr. Justin, was first to
be baptised. Francis gave some clues as to her difficult journey but praised God for
His continual care and guidance. Eliza, Lyndon, Rebecca and Rebecca performed
the beautiful Latin song, Panis Angelicus (Bread of Angels). Next was Eva who
has been having bible studies together with Johanna by Pr. Justin and who felt
convicted through the Scriptures to follow Jesus’ example. As she was baptised,
Elijah sang, ‘I Desire Jesus’. Finally, Pr. Justin had the pleasure of conducting a family
baptism. Ling, a teacher from Canberra Christian School, has been having family bible
studies by Pr. Justin with her husband Qiang and her daughter Amanda each
Sabbath afternoon. She shared inspiring words about her family’s journey to Christ.
She was then baptised with her husband Qiang and eldest daughter, Amanda.

son Titian, Amanda, Ling , Qiang and their
youngest daughter Grace, Akhil
The church then joined in singing, ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘Because He Lives’ and ‘Trust and Obey’. The congregation praised God for these
new members and committed to helping them in their spiritual journeys. There was a pot luck lunch after to celebrate the baptisms.

Mandurama // community bonfire and dinner // raymon paletua
Building the bonfire Food and fellowship with the Community Bonfire fully ablaze
On the 22nd of September 2018, the members of Mandurama Church held a dinner and bonfire night at the home of Dean &
Jan Platt in Lyndhurst. It was planned to be a community event with some 75 invitations going out to friends, neighbours, and
family in the local community. If was a fantastic evening with a beautiful feast laid out for all to enjoy, followed by a huge bonfire, with
a wonderful community atmosphere. It was a tremendous opportunity for the local church to introduce itself to the community, in a
relaxed and enjoyable environment. As members mingled and connected with the 40 plus guests, it became evident that our church
can provide care and support to so many in our community. Mandurama Church will be running a Depression Recovery Program
early 2019, and we believe that our community will greatly benefit from the program.
Community social events such as these, certainly help breakdown the preconceived perceptions people have, not only about Christians,
but about the Adventist Church. This event is a great example that God doesn’t always work with big numbers, or mega churches.
He only needs a handful (the 6 Mandurama members) of faithful people willing to step out of their comfort zones, and into where
God has called them to witness.

Orange // celebrating women // trish moffitt
At Orange we celebrated our Women’s Ministries 21st birthday with a special
service on 25th August 2018. The theme was “How Very Royal” based on
the life of Hadassah who became Queen Esther in the palace of the pagan King
Xerxes.
The song service and the sermon told the whole story of how Esther risked her
life and faced this powerful king and prevented the annihilation of her people
the Jews across the whole Persian empire. During the service, photos from events
over the past years were shared with the congregation. The service ended with a
hymn of praise to our wonderful God followed by a celebratory lunch with lots
of great food and a huge 21st Birthday cake!

Young & Cowra // chip program // ben kosmeier
In the last week of June, ten members from Young and
Cowra churches were trained as facilitators for the CHIP health
program. As a practice run the Cowra church members planned
to immediately start an in-house program for their church
members to work out the details of the program.
One of our church members was talking to someone in the
community about the CHIP program and the conversation was
overheard by another lady. The second lady asked if she could join
the CHIP program as she had some very serious health issues she
needed assistance with. She was welcomed and whole-heartedly
committed herself to the program.
The first blood tests revealed some concerning results for a number
of the participants but after just 30 days following the optimal
diet, daily exercise and lifestyle changes the second blood test results
showed amazing improvements.
Pr. Kosmeier on right with CHIP participants
Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels and weight had all lowered and were returning to recommended levels. Under the
supervision of their local medical practitioners medications were able to be reduced and in some cases eliminated completely.
After letterboxing 9000 brochures, mailing personal invitations to contacts from other health programs and door knocking the Young
church commenced their program on Sunday 7 October with 10 participants (2 community contacts). The 2 community contacts
came one from a personal invitation and the other from door knocking. The participants are enjoying the group support and noticeable
increasing health benefits.
Both of the churches have received a great blessing not only benefiting ourselves from the program but ministering to the health of
some in our community. This is what Jesus did when he blended the health and spiritual ministry together.

Prison Ministries
Central Pathfinders go to prison // Raymon Paletua
On the 7th of October 2018, six young people of the
Central Tablelands Pathfinders, and three parent
leaders, accompanied Pr. Raymon Paletua to Bathurst
Correctional Centre for a prison visit. It was an idea
that was birthed from seeing how eager young people
are to witness in our community, and wanting real life
ministry examples and situations. The group bravely
took up the opportunity to enter the minimum
security section of Bathurst prison, to visit with an
inmate who had not had a visit from family or friends
in the 8 months of his incarceration. It was a wonderful
opportunity for the group to not only see what it was
like inside prison walls, but also to witness, and offer
hope, and prayers, for the inmate. The inmate
gave the group a glimpse of what prison life was like,
and shared how the consequences of bad life choices
brought him to prison, into depression, and thoughts
of suicide. However, the visit from the group was
such an uplifting experience for the inmate, who
could hardly believe that complete strangers would be
willing to visit him, and pray over his life.
Pr. Raymon on left with Pathfinder team that visited the prison
The two Bathurst Prison Chaplains have both expressed their gratitude to the group for the positive impact their visit has had on the
inmate. The following paragraphs are the personal reflections of the children and parents who bravely stepped out of their comfort
zones, and brought light and hope into a dark place.
Christopher - 13yrs old:
Today I went to prison to visit an inmate. I thought it was going to be scary but it was not like I thought. I thought it was a good
experience to visit an inmate. He was a nice guy and so friendly.
Lucy - 16yrs old:
I found the experience interesting and eye opening. It was what I expected but it was still quite sad. The main thing that I saw was that
if people wanted to change to become a better person it would be very hard being surrounded by such a negative environment every
day. Although jails aren’t very happy places they can also really help some people to come closer with God through the chaplains and
local pastors, such as Pr. Ray. I think more people should visit prisoners and try to be more involved. I would be happy to do this sort
of thing again if it would be helpful to another prisoner.
Giaan - 10 yrs old:
A few days ago, I went to prison to see an inmate. At first, I was so excited and very comfortable because I was not the only one going.
But as I went in I was a bit scared. When we all sat down to wait for the inmate I had mixed emotions. When the inmate came in and
sat with us he told us his story and that was really sad that there are people in the world that are been treated like that. That just made
me want to do something about it. I will go again with my dad to see another inmate and help turn them to God.
Jacob - 15 yrs old:
This experience was amazing. I was a little scared at first as I had never been to a working jail before but when I got to know Logo I
was calm. The thing that mostly stood out to me was how God can change people’s lives no matter how good or bad a person’s life is
before meeting God.

Prison Ministries
Leo - 13 yrs old:
We got to see how scary jail is and the way the guards sometimes treat the prisoners can be unfair, like taking someone’s bible away.
It surprised me how prisoners can be such good people who just got in with the wrong crowd. The inmate we visited told us he would
sometimes think about suicide but instead he decided to find God.
Tara - 15 yrs old:
“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength”
Going to the jail showed us that some of the inmates serve their time simply putting the entirety of their trust and hope in the Lord
without any knowledge of what is going to happen in the future. Prior to the visit I was completely blind to what happens behind the
jail walls. One inmate in particular expressed to us his daily struggle of uncertainty and hopelessness. He shared that one of the main
things that gets him through the long days is his faith. Being able to talk with a prisoner allowed all of us to really know how some
people struggle but can always come back to their faith, no matter what. He has asked that we pray for strength, hope and his family.
Dee - parent:
When Pastor Ray first asked us to visit the jail with him I was a bit nervous as I didn’t know what to expect.
I was surprised to find that once we were inside the jail and got chatting to the inmate the more comfortable we all became. The
inmate opened up to us and I was honoured to be a part of the visit. I would love to visit again as seeing the enjoyment it gave to the
inmate was well worth it. Seeing the kids come out positive and excited to do it again was a blessing.
Megan - parent:
When Pastor Ray first suggested that we take some of the Pathfinders to the prison to visit an inmate I loved the idea, as far as the
impact it would have on our young people, but was also a bit hesitant about taking kids to a prison! I wasn’t sure how they would react
and what they would see, but I said yes, and started praying. Pastor Ray briefed us when we arrived at the prison on what to expect,
and explained the whole process to us, which helped make it less daunting. Being minimum security, it didn’t feel too much like a
prison, and the man we visited was a lovely, quiet, friendly guy. I think we were all surprised at how comfortable we felt once we were
visiting him. It was a privilege to have this opportunity, and I would be more than happy to visit prison again in the future. I look
forward to seeing what doors God opens for us, and for the inmates, as a result of this visit.
Kylie - parent
As soon as I read the email from Pr. Ray about this amazing opportunity I knew I couldn’t say no. I also knew there would be people
who wouldn’t understand why I would be willing to take my children into a prison with convicted criminals. The words of Jesus in
the book of Matthew rang clearly in my head, “I was in prison and you visited me”. I just knew it was the right thing to do.
Ray prepared us well before going in but there was still some nervous laughter from the group as we were being processed by the
guards upon arrival. One guard in particular seemed quite grumpy which I found slightly unnerving. Others were nicer and I relaxed
a little. Surprisingly it wasn’t until I met the prisoner we were booked in to see that I relaxed fully. He wasn’t what I expected at all. He
shared what his experience in jail had been like so far. He was very open and honest with us but never once did he complain. Although
each day begins and ends much the same as the last for him I couldn’t help but sense a strong feeling of uncertainty troubling him.
Uncertainty about who he could trust within the prison system, uncertain of when he will be moved on to the next prison, uncertain
of what life after prison looks like. We can pray that through all the uncertainty he can be certain that he has a Heavenly Father who
loved him before all this, loves him now and will love him eternally. As for the grumpy prison guard, we can pray for her too. By the
time we were leaving, I could see God was already softening her heart.

Over the last couple of months ATSIM has visited
some churches around the conference.
Thanks for the generosity and hospitality. Wallaga Lake
church members are prayer partnering with retired Pr Ray
Jackson, for the area prison ministry and contacts.
Wallaga Lake, Moruya and Bega
Church members were blessed to receive ADRA Disaster
Relief Training from Janice Frey (ADRA).
Narromine
This visit included sharing the gospel with the local
church members and attending the local NAIDOC Day
of which Ann-Louise and Sharon Milnes were part of the
key organizing team. It was a great day with lots of fun.
The ABS stats advise that Narromine has 1282 Indigenous
people in its area.
Albury
The ATSIM team shared the gospel and showed how we can take it to the world with an intentional focus on Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islanders. The ABS stats advise that Albury has 1412 Indigenous people in its area. A great question was asked - how do I meet
Aboriginal people if we don’t walk the same paths? The response was - go where God leads, move as God leads, speak as God directs.
Prayer was made for the congregation to see, to hear and follow God’s leads as they unfold.
Please continue to support ATSIM with your prayers and by making local contacts. If you would like to receive the Good News
Magazine to support your local ministry please contact kellyjackman@adventist.org.au

ADRA - Bowral Spring Fest // Sarina Taituave
The ADRA Four Seasons Community
Garden – Bowral was alive with activity on
Sunday 21 October as Bowral church members
and the garden working team pulled together to
make Spring Fest a success.
A mild, calm day encouraged a steady trickle of
people to come to the garden where they listened
to short talks on gardening themes, browsed an
array of stalls, and enjoyed lunch or a snack.
The goals for the event were amply achieved, as
people discovered that we have a community
garden in Bowral, enjoyed the activities of the
day and contributed towards our fundraising
goals. Also a number of people expressed an
interest in becoming a member of the garden
team or in receiving information about upcoming
events. We believe that God had his hand
over this event and that He will prosper our
garden to the honour of His name.
