Across three weekends this April, high schoolers across NSW will gather for the KYCK youth conference. Speakers Nathan Lee and Danny Mitchell will teach from the book of Galatians about freedom in Christ. Special guest Polly Butterworth will also be returning to the platform with an interactive seminar!
If you’re joining us this month, here are 9 ways to prepare your hearts and minds for KYCK:
1. Get pumped for worship with the KYCK 25 playlist
Looking for the perfect soundtrack to get ready for KYCK 25? Whether you’re after high-energy worship or quiet praise for reflection, this playlist will help you learn the songs we’ll be singing together. Listen now!
2. Get ready for our photo scavenger hunt
KYCK ON isn’t happening this year, but we’ve got something just as exciting—a photo scavenger hunt with limited edition tees up for grabs!
To join, you’ll need a social media account (or you can use your youth group’s). Get ready to crack riddles and questions over the weekend and put your puzzle-solving skills to the test!
3. Meditate on the book of Galatians
Make the most of KYCK by diving into Galatians before the weekend. Spend time reflecting on what it truly means to be free in Christ. Have questions? Write them down so you can discuss it with your group too.
4. Learn the memory verse!
Commit the memory verse to heart. This year, it’s Galatians 2:20.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
5. Start packing!
Start with the essentials—a Bible (physical is best for fewer distractions), a notebook/ your favourite pen to jot down key takeaways, and comfortable clothing suited for the unpredictable mountain weather. Mornings and evenings can be chilly, so layer up with a warm jacket or hoodie. If rain is on the forecast, don’t forget a raincoat or umbrella.
Other handy items? A water bottle to stay hydrated and money if you’re planning to grab food or merch.
6. Pray for God to work powerfully through KYCK
Prayer is powerful! Please join us in committing KYCK to God in prayer:
- Praise God for the 5,500+ youth that are attending KYCK25. Pray for His protection over us on site at Katoomba.
- Pray that as the gospel is preached at KYCK, the Spirit will work powerfully in the hearts of youth, that they will be challenged to live out the freedom that comes from being children of God.
- Pray that God will protect our speakers Nathan and Danny ahead of KYCK. Pray that they will preach the true gospel clearly and faithfully as well as what it means to be justified by faith in Christ alone.
- Pray that KYCK will be an opportunity for youth who don’t know Jesus to meet Him for the first time.
