This September school holidays, high schoolers across NSW will gather for the last KYCK youth conference for the year. The conference will be looking at the book of Genesis – creation, humanity and the fall – together with speakers Alan Au, Brett Hookham, and Andy Stevenson. KYCKers can also look forward to Jocelyn Bignill and Patricia Weerakoon bringing them some special segments to help think through the theme of ‘identity’ in today’s world.
If you’re joining us this month, here are nine ways to prepare your hearts and minds for KYCK:
1. Read and re-read the book of Genesis
Get the most out of KYCK with some pre-reading from Genesis 1-3 to prime your heart to hear and respond to God’s Word. Read and re-read it – anything stand out for you? Are there any questions you have about the passage?
2. Start your personal praise with the KYCK 24 playlist
Whether you’re wanting a shout-out-loud worship session or some mellow praise for quiet study, this playlist is the perfect soundtrack to familiarise yourself with songs that we’ll be singing at KYCK 24! Listen here.
3. Start training with your youth group for the KYCK On Cup!
Our Saturday afternoon soccer competition, KYCK On, will be back at KYCK#4! The winning team will be declared the champions and awarded the prestigious KYCK ON Cup. We’ll also be giving prizes to the best supporters – think apparel, mascots, team flag and uniform. Start training now, and make sure to get your teams and supporter costumes ready!
4. Rep KYCK with our fresh merch!
Our range of KYCK 24 merch includes hoodies, tees, beanies, caps and NEW sunnies! Enter our merch giveaway competition on Facebook or Instagram to win a hoodie! You can also purchase merch onsite at KYCK each Saturday morning from 8am. All proceeds go towards keeping our ministry going. See pricing and size info here.
5. Don’t forget your KYCK friendship bracelets to swap and share!
Here’s your chance to get creative with spreading the Word! Gather with your youth group to make friendship bracelets and trade them with others at KYCK! We suggest including bible references to our KYCK theme (Genesis 1-3), our memory verse (Colossians 1:15-16) or the name of your youth group. There might even be some prizes on offer! Have fun!
6. Pray for God to work powerfully through KYCK
Please join us in committing KYCK to God in prayer:
- Pray that as the gospel is preached at KYCK, the Spirit will work powerfully in the hearts of youth.
- Pray that God will protect our speakers Alan, Brett, Andy, Jocelyn and Patricia ahead of KYCK, and that they will preach the gospel and its implications on our identity, clearly and faithfully.
- Pray that KYCK will be an opportunity for teens who don’t know Jesus to meet Him for the first time.
- Pray that teenagers will leave KYCK with a firm trust in Jesus, and that they will be bold and loving gospel witnesses in their schools, communities and homes.
