Over 1,400 Men Encouraged to “Wise Up with Jesus” at BASECAMP 2025

This August, 1,400+ men gathered across two weekends to open God’s Word together at BASECAMP 2025.

450+ men met in the heart of Sydney for BASECAMP City, while 900+ men made the trip to the Blue Mountains for BASECAMP Mountains. Another 40+ men joined online, connecting in living rooms, churches, and ministry spaces across Australia. Together, these men represented over 250 churches united under one theme: Wise Up with Jesus.

Whitefield lifted the room with heartfelt worship, leading the men to praise God with one voice. Listen to the BASECAMP 25 playlist here!

International speaker Zack Eswine and local speaker Peter Sondergeld unpacked what it means to grow in true wisdom, drawing from the book of Proverbs and the life of Jesus.

Across the talks, men were reminded that:

Meekness is not weakness – it is the strength of God’s power under control.
Friendship with Jesus changes everything – shaping how we relate to Him and to others.
Wisdom protects – guarding us from the traps of being naive or foolish.

The call was clear: wisdom begins with knowing and following Jesus, the One who loves us deeply and leads us in steadfast love.

Walking Away Changed

Men left BASECAMP encouraged to meditate on God’s unchanging love, to pursue friendships marked by grace and truth, and to walk humbly with Christ in every area of life.

“Attending the Basecamp Men’s Conference was a real blessing for me. It was a refreshing time away to pause, reflect, and be challenged as we dug into the topic of wisdom from God’s Word. Hearing from faithful speakers, sharing honest conversations with other men, and spending time in prayer together helped me see areas in my life where I can grow in humility, godliness, and decision-making… I left feeling inspired and challenged in my walk with Jesus.”
– Sebastian, BASECAMP 25 Mountains Attendee

“Thank you so much for all the hard work and prayerful way you serve God’s people with this conference! What an amazing blessing over so many years. Wisdom was an excellent an appropriate and useful topic and the speakers perched from the heart: very moving and encouraging. I thank God for you!”

– Stephen, BASECAMP 25 Mountains Attendee

“Every man and his dog should be coming to basecamp to be spiritually renewed and encouraged through the word of God and fellowship with other men and to connect with other men.”

– Sul, BASECAMP 25 Mountains Attendee

“It was such a great time of fellowship while also listening to (and supporting each other in) great talks from Zach & Peter. As always, you can’t help but walk away changed and challenged to be more Christ-like, with practical steps that help set us on the right course.”

– Andrew, BASECAMP25 City Attendee

Real Conversations for Men’s Health Week

It’s Men’s Health Week in Australia (9-15 June 2025), a time to raise awareness about health challenges faced by men and encourage open, honest conversations.

We believe that men’s health isn’t just physical. It’s also emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual. To mark the week, we asked some of our BASECAMP Christian men some big questions.

From managing stress to supporting each other in tough times, these short videos bring together real answers from real blokes. We appreciate their honesty sharing about their faith, wellbeing, and what it means to live wisely with Jesus at the centre!

Watch a preview of the series:

Watch the full series of videos here:

Men’s Health Week: What Staying Healthy Means

“If you asked me that question 10 years ago, I would have said: exercising right, playing the right sports, and eating the right foods, maintaining a healthy diet. (But it’s) your spiritual, physical and mental health. Getting right with God, looking after your body physically and the content that you consume…”

Men’s Health Week: Managing Stress & Recharging

“Praying to Jesus does a lot just to take my mindset off the anger and helps bring me to a calm state.”

Men’s Health Week: Go-To Bible Verses in Tough Times

You can forget that in difficult times (that we are children of God). You can think the difficulty is defining you or the sum of all your life but to be reminded of what God thinks of you as His child has been really helpful.

Men’s Health Week: What’s Missing in Church Conversations

“I don’t think I’ve really heard many, or if any, conversations in churches that I’ve been a part of about men’s mental health. So I think somehow, introducing the conversation — and maybe that responsibility is on me to start that conversation.”

Men’s Health Week: The Impact of Christian Brotherhood

“I just had a men’s group outing the other day… and what I was really encouraged about was how others deal with certain issues. And some of these guys I was sharing with are almost half my age and I was very encouraged by their maturity.”

Men’s Health Week: Real Support for Real Struggles

“…to be able to sit down with a man and realise what he is going through, not how you can add to his life, but what he’s experiencing. I think just being able to just be an ear to them, even if nothing at the end of that conversation gets achieved or done.”

If you or someone you know is experiencing extreme distress, please seek professional help.

Meet OneLove Chairwoman: Amy Townsend

In 2025, we are so pleased to welcome Amy Townsend as the new chairwoman for OneLove women’s conference. In this interview, Amy shares how she came to faith, her deep appreciation for conferences, and what she hopes women will get to experience at OneLove this year.

Tell us a bit about yourself!

Hey there! I’m Amy, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new Chairperson for OneLove. I’m married to Jesse and we have two little ones, Penny and Noah. During the week, I work as a Community and Student Care Worker at Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC), where I support students and foster Christ-centred community. I also serve as an Assistant Pastor at St Marks in Freshwater, where I have the privilege of guiding people toward Jesus. In my downtime, I love journalling, make jewellery, hitting the gym, and eating cheese. I cannot wait to connect with all of you at OneLove! I am praying for each and every person God intends to bring along. See you soon!

How and when did you come to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?

I did not grow up in a Christian home, yet I can’t remember a time when I didn’t believe in God. As I explored the world around me—God made sense! So, as a child in primary school, I eagerly participated in Scripture classes, memorising Bible verses and completing craft activities. But in many ways, my faith was centred on ‘getting it right for God.’ It wasn’t until I attended a Youth Camp in high school that I truly encountered the person of Jesus. This is when I first grasped the Gospel and came to understand that its not about what I can do for God, it is about what God has done for me in his Son, Jesus Christ.

On the final day of the camp, the speaker shared a song that traced the story of Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension. The last verse focused on His return, and I remember being overwhelmed by the reality of it. I thought, ‘Jesus is coming back! King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The trumpets will sound, the heavens will roar, and… I want to be on Team Jesus!’

That was a critical moment in my faith journey. Although, I have to confess, it still took many, many years for me to begin unpacking what it meant to live as a disciple of Christ. I found my time at university to be particularly difficult. In my early twenties, however, I moved out of home and, by God’s providence, ended up living with two Christian girls who were also at uni. It was through them that I saw what it truly meant to follow Jesus. I was struck by the way they prayed—bringing everything, big and small, before God. They loved Jesus! And found joy in following him. I will forever be thankful for these two beautiful role models, and my hope and prayer is that God might use me as a role model to others on their journey with Jesus.

What inspired you to come on board to chair OneLove?

I have a deep appreciation for conferences and the unique experiences they offer. Few occasions allow us to gather in such large numbers to collectively sing praises to God, sit under the authority of His Word, and engage in prayer. Conferences create a special environment for connection with God and with each other—providing opportunities to meet new people, encourage one another, learn, and grow in faith.

As the Chairperson for OneLove, it is my privilege to prayerfully consider the various elements of the day that will help us grow more and more into the image of Christ. It is my honour to pray for the OneLove community and to work diligently, under God’s guidance, to ensure that our time together is impactful for Christ’s glory, and our good.

What do you think are the greatest challenges facing Christian women in Australia today?

Life can feel overwhelmingly busy—with countless responsibilities and distractions vying for our attention every minute. Even when I carve out time to slow down and connect with God, I sometimes struggle to know where to start. I notice a tendency to crave productivity, stimulation…anything but ‘stillness’. And I know I’m not alone.

I believe one of the most significant challenges for Christian women in Australia is navigating the tension between the busyness of daily life and the essential stillness that nurtures our spiritual lives. Many women are juggling many things: working, supporting our families, engaging with our church communities, catching up with friends, and maintaining our health. All of these commitments are significant, yet they can crowd our lives and distract us from coming to the foot of the cross.

So, what does it look like to navigate these aspects of everyday life that, so often, feel in tension with our Christian lives? My hope and prayer is that OneLove will provide time and space for Christian women to commune with God, to be reminded of the supremacy of Christ, to reorient their hearts toward him, and to uncover new tools and new zeal to live like Christ in any and every context.

What is your hope for OneLove this year and why should women set time aside to come?

My hope and prayer for OneLove 2025 is that women of all ages and life stages will come and encounter the Risen Lord Jesus—that they will grow in their love for Him, deepen their knowledge of Him, and be stirred to follow, serve, and make bold life changes and sacrifices for Him. I pray that every woman who attends will leave OneLove encouraged, refreshed, and renewed in her journey with Jesus.

OneLove is an opportunity for us, as sisters in Christ, to commune with God and with each other. I look forward to seeing how God will move among us during this special event! Until then, this is my prayer for the women of OneLove: that God might fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:9-14).

4 Ways to Grow into the New Year

As we near the end of the year, we can often be in reflection about our hopes, goals and experiences of the year gone by. How has 2024 been for you? How has it been in relationship with God? Do you already have specific things you want to shift or change next year? Perhaps there are things you’ve put in place this year that you’re keen to continue to do.

We’ve picked out some snippets from our events and app this year that have encouraged and challenged us, and hope it will be helpful for you as you look toward 2025.

1. Love the Lord with everything you have

This call and reminder will never get old for us, regardless of whether we are looking to a fresh new year or not. At KEC 2024, Tim Blencowe walked us through Deuternomy 6, with this reminder to love God, the perfect Giver:

"You really must love Him with everything you've got because anything else is not love. When He says, 'all your heart',  that's the driving seat of your life, the centre. Nothing on the side, please, for God. When He says, 'with all your soul', 'that's everything within me', says the psalmist in Psalm 103. It's your whole of you. Let's be in it, all body and soul ... Whatever power you have, whatever muscle you have, from your bank account to your daily breath - whatever strength you have - pour it all out for Him." (Tim Blencowe, Love the Lord with all your Heart, KEC 2024)

2. Build spiritual ‘rhythms’

Mitch Everingham’s short series on ‘Forming Resilient Rhythms‘ encouraged us to look at how we grow in godliness through the way we approach and integrate spiritual practices into our lives – not just as habits set aside for particular segments of our day, but as a constant presence in our everyday.

"This is why our rhythms are more than just habits. The Scriptures don’t say, 'set aside 10 minutes each morning to read the Bible and that means you’ll grow in godliness and love for others.' Rather they encourage us to move through life with, for example, the Scriptures on our minds as often as possible (Psalm 1), because this is the true path to godliness." (Mitch Everingham, Growing in Godliness by Cultivating Rhythms)

3. Stay in community

One area that can often be overlooked in the busyness of life is the quality of our relationships with others. When Sam Allberry joined us at BASECAMP this year, he instilled in us a real hopefulness for community – that we are not meant to be alone, but to experience the joy and strength that comes from being known and loved (just as Jesus loves and calls us his brothers).

"In 2 John, he ends the letter by saying, 'I have much to write to you. I'd rather not use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.' John is saying, 'I've got a lot to get through with you. I'd rather not use paper and ink.' 

It's not because John is a cheapskate and can't be bothered to buy another piece of paper and write on it. John is saying, 'If we talk face to face, if I'm physically with you, our joy will be complete.' There is joy in receiving a letter. There is joy in having a phone call. There is joy in getting a text message, but it's incomplete joy if we're not relating face to face, physically, in person with one another." (Sam Allberry, Brothers in Christ, BASECAMP 2024)

4. Exercise?

Something a lot of us hadn’t considered was the practice of physical exercise in relation to our spiritual walk with Jesus. This series by Amy Townsend on “Should Christians Exercise?” was an eye-opening opportunity for us to consider this – whether we needed to reframe our motivations for exercise, or look to building in physical exercise – for the glory of God and the good of others.

"As Christians, we understand the temporary nature of our bodies. So why spend time and energy looking after what we know is perishing? While there is value in keeping eternity in sight and not holding too tightly to our physical forms, the bodies God has given us have significance and purpose! We were created as embodied beings and will live forever as embodied beings.

Jesus demonstrates this at his resurrection ... it is important we recognise that God has purposes for our bodies—not just in the future but also in the here and now. And so, an appropriate amount of self-care is necessary for us to do the good works God has purposed for us to do (Ephesians 2:10)." (Amy Townsend, Why Exercise?)

Dedicate some time away to sit under God’s Word in 2025

Finally – with all our 2025 events now open for registration, we encourage you to consider setting aside some time away to join us. Dedicate some time our of your everyday; block out dates and come gather with fellow brothers and sisters to sit under God’s Word, worship and grow together in 2025!

Help Light a Spark in the Next Generation

KCC began its ministry to young people 50 years ago, and it is one of the best things the ministry has done in its 120 years. It has impacted hundreds and thousands of lives, and under God, it has been taken by Him from strength to strength.

One example is our KYCK ministry. Every year, across the four weekends, somewhere between 200 and 500 teens make either first-time commitments or re-commitments of their lives to Jesus Christ. And this has been happening every year for at least 20 years.

We want to see the same impact in the lives of Young Adults, so we’ve announced the launch of Spark Conference in 2025, and we need your help to give it a strong footing.

Why Young Adults?

Every year at KYCK, we say goodbye to a large cohort of Year 12 students as they finish high school. The question for us is, what do these kids step into after they step out of high school? What happens after KYCK?

What all of us need, but especially young adults, is something that keeps shining the light of God’s truth onto life. Young adults need something that reminds them that life has been given to them to glorify the Giver. Something that reminds them to lay their life down before God and ask Him, “What do you want me to do?”

We believe Spark is that “something” for Young Adults – a convention that urges them not to waste their life, but to consecrate it to God for His use. An event that they can step in to immediately after they step out of high school.

We have this opportunity to run a pilot event in 2025, and if successful, turn it into an annual event for years to come.

Whether you have a young adult in your family, or group of friends, or not, we are asking you to consider investing in them and sow into them.

Spark

Urging and inspiring young adults in their commitment to Christ

Starting in 2025.

Spark urges and inspires young adults to be wholehearted in their commitment to Jesus Christ.

Young adulthood is a formative time of life: you’re finding your own way and making decisions that could steer the course of your life. And you’re doing that while the world is relentlessly selling you its dream of who and what you could and should become.

As a Christian, to navigate that wisely, you need to be well-grounded in understanding what your life is for. Because the truth is you only get one shot at life, and it’s the dressing room for all eternity. So how you use every hour, how you spend every day, how you invest every year, really matters.

10 Words that Describe KEC

What is Katoomba Easter Convention to you? If you could describe Easter Convention in one word, what would it be?

For our regular attendees, KEC is many things. Families and individuals who come to the mountains every Easter discover that KEC is more than just a conference.

Here are 10 words our KEC delegates have used to describe what KEC means to them.

1. KEC is a highlight

"It is our family’s highlight to attend every year. We attend for the spiritual growth and worship - we love it!" – Mari

2. KEC is a reset

"Through KEC, God provides a reset for me - a yearly 4 days to refocus on God’s Word, His Kingdom, His plans. I need this!" – Karen

3. KEC is incredibly valuable

"It’s incredibly valuable to us as a family of believers to learn more about God, draw closer to Him, be in fellowship with others and praise and worship Him." – Sharon

4. KEC is a tradition

"It is an Easter tradition for our family to go to KEC, in fact we have been sharing a house with the same group of families for 19 years. We enjoy the atmosphere of singing with so many other Christians and hearing from world class speakers that challenge us and re-orientate us toward God." – Marianne

5. KEC is life-changing

"It will be another life-changing experience for me. In this world wherein we live, we need to stop paying attention to the world around us and actively listen to God's Word. Coming to KEC will once again be a life tool for my spiritual walk with the Lord." – Bruce

6. KEC is practical

"The thing I loved most about KEC was the practical application of the Word. Knowing that being swept up in the passion of the weekend, and in the quality of the teaching, wasn’t going to change my life by itself. The encouragement to really take the talks and commit to apply them in my daily walk has made the most difference out of any conference I’ve been to." – Markus

7. KEC is a top-up

"I attended because I love - and really need - the great Biblical teaching that 'tops me up' in my Christian life. It is SO encouraging and deeply refreshes my faith." – Tori

8. KEC is edifying

"KEC is a long-standing family tradition to attend, which we have consistently found edifying and valuable. It’s an opportunity to spend four days together receiving excellent teaching in a beautiful environment." – Alison

9. KEC is a vital refreshment

"We have been coming most years for the last 25. It is a vital refreshment and encouragement spurring on for our family. We value the teaching, and the kids love the program." – Sarah

10. KEC is family time

"We make the weekend a family time - great teaching and a fabulous time of fellowship with Christian families we have known for 30 years attending." - Katherine

We invite you to join us at Katoomba Easter Convention, 18-21 April 2025, to retreat to the Blue Mountains over four days, and discover what KEC is and what it can do for you and your family. Enjoy time with friends and family away from life’s busyness, hear God’s Word preached and ignite a love for Christ and a passion to follow Him. Discover what our speakers – Philip Ryken, Glen Scrivener and Kirk Patston – will share on the theme, “Seek First the Kingdom”.
