For Kathryn and her family, Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) was an opportunity to step out of life’s busyness and be deeply encouraged in their faith. Though they had only attended one day of KEC in 2023, last year they committed to the full experience. Read Kathryn’s story below.

1. Can you please introduce yourself and your family?
My name is Kathryn, and I attended KEC 2024 with my husband, Amish, and two daughters, Jasmine and Lani (16 and 19 years old). While we had attended one day of KEC 2023, this was our first KEC that we attended in full.
2. What made you start attending KEC?
For a number of years now, we have had numerous friends share their own KEC experiences and speak highly about the entire weekend. It was this alongside their kind invitation to attend with them that encouraged us to start attending.
3. What was the highlight of your KEC experience?
As this was our first year attending, we felt everything was a highlight – the ease of registering, friendly welcomers, meeting new and old faces, worshipping God together, learning and growing in God’s word. My daughters also attended the night sessions which they absolutely loved.
4. How has KEC encouraged your faith
I was particularly encouraged by the intentionality to live Hebrews 10:25 [in] ‘not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.’ It is a great gift and privilege to worship alongside my family, friends and others, share in God’s Word, and bear each other’s burdens. Alongside this, it has reminded me that my journey with Christ is not a solitary one. Instead, it is woven into the fabric of a much larger story – one where each person’s faith contributes to building and strengthening the whole body of Christ.

5. Why would you recommend KEC to other families?
Whether you are exploring faith or a seasoned Christian, KEC invites you to explore your questions, share your burdens and joys, and meet like-minded people doing just the same. It is a safe environment for all ages, where talks and activities are both engaging and transformative.
