From Loneliness to Bold Faith: Harvey’s Spark Story
Harvey attended Spark for the first time this year. Having never been to a Christian conference before, he wanted to deepen his faith and knowledge of Christ and found Spark to be a life-changing experience.
1. Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your faith journey.
My name is Harvey Barrett. I’m 19 from St Peter’s Anglican Church Seven Hills.
Last year I was feeling quite lonely and without much purpose. I was exposed to Scripture in school so I knew of Jesus but didn’t have faith. I started to read the Bible a bit and I had a high school friend who wanted to start going to church, so I went with them for a few weeks. I decided to change to the church I am at now (for various reasons) and have grown and deepened my love and relationship with Christ. Now I see how amazing trusting in Jesus is.
2. What made you want to attend Spark?
I wanted to attend Spark as I had never attended a Christian conference before and thought it would be a great opportunity to deepen my faith and knowledge of Christ.
3. Describe your Spark experience! What was a highlight for you?
The Spark experience was amazing! Can’t wait for next year. The highlight was the amount of people all gathered to worship Christ and praise God through song.
4. One main takeaway from the weekend?
One main takeaway from the weekend would be this quote from Preston Perry: “Boldness isn’t about doing things people are afraid to do; it’s about doing what God empowers us to do. It’s not a personality trait but obedience to God.”
5. How have you been living differently after Spark?
I have been trying to be more open in sharing my faith with others, having conversations at work where possible, and being holy, for God is holy, holy, holy.

7,000+ Youth Gather at KYCK 2025 to Discover True Freedom in Christ
KYCK 2025 has officially wrapped up, and what a year it has been! Across four massive weekends in Katoomba, over 7,000 high schoolers and youth leaders gathered to hear God’s Word, sing His praises, and be reminded of the true freedom found only in Jesus.
The final weekend, KYCK 4, saw a record-breaking 1,600+ youth attend, the largest KYCK 4 in history! Groups travelled long distances from places like Wagga Wagga, Tamworth, and Port Macquarie, joining others from across NSW and the ACT.
For the first time at KYCK, Seraph Music led us in worship, filling the auditorium with voices raised in praise.
We also welcomed a mix of returning and new preachers: Nathan Lee returned to open God’s Word, Polly Butterworth brought another interactive talk, and Dave Chiswell from City on a Hill Geelong preached at KYCK 2025 for the very first time. His talks reminded us:
“All the very best bits of belonging to a family are yours because you are His child.”
“Being part of God’s family doesn’t happen because you keep a whole bunch of laws. It happens because God is really good.”
God’s hand was clearly at work. On the final night of KYCK 4, 32 youth put their trust in Jesus as Lord and Saviour for the first time, 87 recommitted their lives to Him, and 29 expressed a desire to find out more. Across all four weekends, that brings the total to 107 first-time commitments, 490 recommitments, and 155 youth eager to keep exploring who Jesus is. Praise God!
The fruit of the gospel was seen not just in numbers, but in the stories shared:
“I don’t need to chase belonging because I belong to Jesus.” – Youth from South Wagga Anglican
“A youth member was able to tell me all about what true freedom is and what it isn’t. He loved Dave’s talks.” – KYCK 4 Youth Leader
We praise God for His unrelenting mercy and the freedom He offers through Jesus, and we thank every youth group, leader, volunteer, musician, and speaker who made KYCK 2025 possible.

Spark 2025: 1,400+ Young Adults Called to Live for Christ
More than 1,400 young adults gathered for the first-ever Spark conference, where they were encouraged to live out the words of 1 Peter 1:16, “Be holy, as I am holy.”
OneBodyWorship led attendees in lifting their voices to God, with optional extended worship sessions at the end of every evening. Check out the photos below for highlights from the weekend, the recap video on Instagram, and listen to Spark 2025 Spotify playlist here.
“A genuine interdenominational expression of faith.” – Joshua
“The talks felt so relevant to our generation and really spoke to my heart.” – Amy
A Weekend of Life-Shaping Questions
Mitch opened the conference by asking three confronting but life-shaping questions: • What are you living for right now? • Where in your life have you not completely surrendered to God? • Have you seen God for who He truly is?
Watch a snippet of his talk below.
This was the call to holiness. Not as a heavy burden, but as a response to who God is. Holy, loving, and worthy of our whole lives.
I was encouraged most to keep working on my walk with faith. I am new to faith at the start of the year and have seen the fruit of this Spirit in me. It is encouraging to know so many others trust in Jesus and to gather with people to praise God. – Harvey
“Was encouraged most by the content of the talks on what it practically looks like to pursue holiness. Reminded that God’s holiness demands nothing short of our entire lives.” – Liz
Day 2: Conviction and Consecration
Day 2 was filled with three powerful talks, moments of conviction, and opportunities for fellowship and encouragement.
In the morning, Morgan Renew opened God’s Word and reminded us that holiness is possible because of the Spirit’s work in us. He called us to see what the Spirit has done and will continue to do: • You CAN be holy. • The Spirit unites us with Jesus. • We share His righteousness, His perfect record. • On the morning after you failed again in your fight for holiness, there is no condemnation.
Watch a snippet of his talk below.
In another talk, Morgan also warned us against worldliness:
“Worldliness makes sin seem normal and godliness seem strange… Fix your eyes on Jesus. Give yourself to studying His Word and meeting His people. As you grasp your identity in Him, it will move you to be holy as He is holy.”
“Morgan’s talks were amazing. Very clear and encouraging with things that I could reflect on and act on in the future. Definitely put into perspective what holiness is to imperfect people.” – Elysha
Later that evening, Jackie Hill Perry shared her story of meeting Christ. “I thought to be a Christian was to try harder. I thought to be a Christian was to try to grit my teeth and stop sinning. I didn’t understand that to be a Christian is that God would make me, change me into someone else.”
She also reminded us of what true consecration looks like:
“God is saying: Will you follow? Will you follow me until the end? Will you follow me when the cross gets heavy? Will you follow me when the prosperity is high? Will you follow me when your marriage is all good? Will you follow when you’re single for longer than you thought? Will you follow me when you don’t get the answers to prayer that you want? Will you follow? That is consecration.”
Watch some of Jackie’s talk in the snippet below.
The day closed in communion, prayer, and worship, with a number of people giving their lives to Jesus for the first time and many more consecrating themselves afresh.
Day 3: Boldness in the Gospel
On the final day, we heard from Preston Perry during the Q&A session as well as his talk where he spoke about sharing the gospel boldly with those around us.
“If God can get your yes, the world can experience your boldness.” – Preston Perry
Preston reminded us that boldness is not about personality or fearlessness but about obedience:
“Boldness isn’t doing what men are afraid to do. Boldness is way more about being obedient to God than being fearless to men. It’s not a personality trait, it’s about obedience to Jesus. If we want to be disciples of Christ, we cannot settle for a comfortable life. He’s calling you to give the gospel to your colleagues, your classmates…”
“The biggest encouragement was how raw Preston and Jackie were. They’re openness and vulnerability were the biggest highlight to me.” – Alisi
“The sermons from the Perry’s were phenomenal, I though the music was also phenomenal and really well done. I was really challenged and convicted by Jackie Hill Perry’s talk on Saturday night, but also encouraged in how to be a good disciple and to help others on that journey.” – Nick
Looking Ahead
The first Spark conference has now come to an end, but the call to holiness continues. We look forward to doing this again in 2026!

2,200+ Women Encouraged to ‘Live Unhindered’ at OneLove 2025
Over 2,000 women joined us in-person, with almost 250 tuning in online, representing every state across Australia. The theme of this year’s OneLove was “Unhindered”, reminding women to live each day following Christ with faith and purpose. It was a call to throw off every hindrance, run with perseverance, and fix our eyes on Jesus.
MBM Music lifted the room with heartfelt worship, leading the women to praise God with one voice. Listen to the Spotify 25 playlist here!
From Prayer to Praise
In Session 1, Jackie Hill Perry explored 1 Samuel 1, focusing on the prayers of Hannah. She encouraged women to understand the unchanging character of God even in seasons of suffering. Jackie called attendees to remember God’s faithfulness no matter their feelings and to trust His power over time, even when all they feel they can do is wait. Watch a snippet below.
Hope from a Psalm
In Session 2, Jackie put hope on trial. She encouraged reflection on times when hope feels like it has let us down and guided women on how to keep trusting God even when outcomes don’t meet expectations. Jackie reminded attendees not to let human disappointments affect their hope in God. How will you remember God’s past faithfulness to guide your future?
“There was so much to be encouraged by! The depth and clarity of Jackie’s preaching, while really focusing on a female perspective and issues, was extremely edifying. I also loved spending more time with my Church group and singing together with so many females (in a great key as well!)” – Hannah
“I have been going with a friend every year now and it’s such a lovely tradition that we share to be able to grow and encourage each other. I love being able to gather and worship with so many women from different walks of life.” – Belinda
“Honestly, I hate women’s events. But OneLove was organised in such a way that there was no room to not enjoy it. Jackie Hill Perry PREACHED with such conviction and rawness and desire for God’s glory – it was electric.” – Eliza
“I found it such a refreshment to sing with 2,000 sisters, to learn from powerful women and to be reminded of my great God and the hope we have.” – Maree
In the Q&A session, women asked Jackie some big and personal questions, including:
Is it bad or am I selfish if I’m confused that God wants us to suffer, that we might praise Him?
What are some practical ideas or ways that we can cultivate a big view of God’s glory and fix our eyes on His worthiness?
Should we only hope in God? What does it look like to hope for other things? For example, for children, for success at work?
How do you discern a relationship that is a hindrance versus a help?
How do you deal with lust as a single woman?
How do we continue to hope in the Lord when we grow old and our memory fades?
How do we have hope for those who do not yet know Christ?
Can you draw out for us a hindrance that you’ve wrestled with? Watch a snippet of Jackie’s answer to this question below.
Rachel Ciano on Catherine Booth
Rachel Ciano explored the work of God in the life of Catherine Booth and encouraged women to reflect on their own limitations. In a time when it was hard to be a woman, Catherine stood up for those who needed support. Attendees were challenged to know their vulnerable selves as loved by God and to continue pressing on, confident that God does great work through those who embrace their weaknesses.
Valerie Ling on Radical Acceptance
Clinical Psychologist, Valerie Ling shared about experiencing hindrances and limitations as believers. She taught on radical acceptance, letting go of struggles over why things happen, how they happen, and the stress of making it all work, by giving these worries to God. Valerie highlighted real-life examples of women from different walks of life, offering practical advice and encouragement.

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

You can also access exclusive content from Peter Sondergeld, a 4-part devotional series “Wisdom Through Life in Christ” where you’ll get practical wisdom on every part of your life.
Keep reflecting on Zack Eswine’s talks through BASECAMP Local (free!), a guided resource designed to help you grow in strength and purpose through Jesus’ wisdom.

How KYCK Strengthened Sarah’s Faith for Life
For Sarah, KYCK has been a highlight of her high school years—a time of worship, friendship, and growing in faith. In this story, Sarah shares what she’ll miss most and how KYCK has prepared her to keep trusting God for the road ahead.
1. Please introduce yourself!
Hi, I’m Sarah from Rev21 at All Saints Nowra. I just finished Yr 12.
I attended the last 4 years and loved every minute of it. It’s a weekend I look forward to each year as it’s such an encouraging and uplifting time surrounded by friends and Christian family. I’m going to miss it as I move on from high school but grateful for the memories it’s provided me and looking forward to Spark!
2. What is a KYCK highlight?
I LOVE the singing. It’s such a highlight (amongst many). There is something so special about 2000 people worshiping God together led by amazing bands.
A highlight is also the time away with your youth and friends to grow deeper in faith together. The car ride up, walking up the hill, and waiting in line together with anticipation for the doors to open for the session all add to the fun of the weekend.
3. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?
KYCK helped me see there are so many more Christians my age than just the few in my year and those at my church. It was really eye opening and encouraging to realise there are thousands of other Christian youths who love God but also face similar challenges in day-to-day life such as at school. It’s encouraging that we are all on it together and God has enabled amazing weekends like KYCK where we can all come together and be spurred on in our faith.
4. What will you miss about KYCK?
Literally everything! It’s such an uplifting weekend and you always leave feeling encouraged and refreshed in your faith. It’s also amazing going away with your friends, having the opportunity to encourage others and great conversations. I will definitely miss the worship. I love being in the room hearing everyone praising God together. It feels really special.
5. How has KYCK prepared you for life after high school?
KYCK has given me the confidence to know that no matter where I am or what I’m doing, I have the joy of knowing God is with me and will guide me. I don’t know what’s coming but God does, He planned it so I can rest assured He has it covered!
KYCK has given me the confidence to know that no matter where I am or what I’m doing, I have the joy of knowing God is with me and will guide me. I don’t know what’s coming but God does, He planned it so I can rest assured He has it covered!
Every time I’m in a difficult situation, feel outnumbered or excluded for my faith, I can remember KYCK and know that that there are thousands of others walking this journey too. We can hold each other – those we know and even those we don’t, in prayer.
6. Why would you recommend KYCK to others?
I’d recommend KYCK to both Christians and those wanting to discover more about God as the talks are delivered with a focus on youth understanding the life changing nature of putting trust in God. It’s a super encouraging time to grow closer as a youth group and deepen personal faith with relevant messages, Q&A’s, games and worship.
7. How has God changed your life?
As someone who struggles with anxiety, being a Christian has provided me with such comfort in times of turmoil and worry. It’s incredible to know that God has gone before me, knows the path ahead of me and will be with me no matter what I face! Being able to pray about anything I’m anxious about is so helpful.
For Mini, KYCK isn’t just an event—it’s been a defining part of her faith journey. From first tuning in via livestream to making a life-changing decision at KYCK22, KYCK has helped her grow in her love for Jesus and deepen friendships along the way.
In this story, Amos reflects on the moments that have shaped his journey, from powerful worship sessions to life-changing conversations, and shares why KYCK holds such a special place in his heart.
Amidst some devastating losses, KYCK became the turning point for Sebastian that reignited his faith. From the talks that revealed God’s purpose for him to the uplifting atmosphere of collective worship, his story shows how God works through life’s hardest moments to draw us back.
For Riley, KYCK started as just a fun weekend away, but it quickly became something much more. Now, as she prepares for her final KYCK as a high school student, Riley reflects on how this conference has shaped her faith, the impact of its community, and her desire to show the love of Jesus to others.
For Noah, attending KYCK for the first-time last year was a life-changing experience. What began as doubt turned into a complete renewal of faith, transforming his view of the Bible and gave him hope and purpose.
In this story, we hear from Pollyanna and how KYCK has strengthened her relationship with God and reminded her of His unshakable presence through the ups and downs of high school life.
KYCK has been a cornerstone of Estelle’s spiritual journey for the past five years. In this story, she reflects on the highlights from KYCK24, what impacted them most, and why they believe KYCK is something that every young Christian should experience.
In this story, we hear from Reuben as he reflects on his journey with KYCK—from his first experience as a high school student to their current role as a leader and volunteer. Reuben’s story reminds us of the power of God’s Word, the strength found in Christian community, and the hope we have in Jesus.
For Sarah, KYCK has been a highlight of her high school years—a time of worship,

5 Unhindered Women of the Bible
The Bible is filled with women who could have said no. These women could have stayed in their shame, fear, or comfort zones, but instead showed remarkable courage. Here’s a look at 5 women who lived unhindered in their response to Jesus.
1. The Woman at the Well
John 4
She came to draw water but left carrying living water.
Unhindered by her shameful past, she boldly shared Jesus with her town. Jackie Hill Perry preached on this in 2023. Watch a snippet below or watch the full video on KCC One!
2. The Woman Who Walked Away from Safety
Ruth
Ruth wasn’t obligated to follow Naomi into a foreign land, but she did. She wasn’t hindered by loss, uncertainty, or leaving behind the familiar. Her faith and loyalty positioned her in God’s redemptive story!
3. The Woman Who Prayed Through Her Pain
Hannah (1 Samuel)
Though her heart was heavy with grief and unanswered prayer, she came to the temple and poured out her soul to God. She wasn’t hindered by disappointment, delay, or being misunderstood by others. She was seen and heard by God and her faith bore fruit through her son, Samuel!
4. The Woman Who Chose Better
Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:38–42)
While her sister Martha was busy with preparations, Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened. Mary wasn’t hindered by expectations, distractions, or the pull to do more. Mary chose what was better and Jesus didn’t push her away.
5. The Woman Who Worshipped
Luke 7:36–50
She wasn’t invited but she came anyway. In a room full of judgment, she poured perfume and tears at Jesus’ feet. It was an act of costly devotion. She wasn’t hindered by her reputation, onlookers, or the weight of her past. Jesus affirmed her faith and forgave her sin.
Let these stories remind you that you don’t need a perfect past or the right credentials to come to Jesus.
Living unhindered is about having confidence in the God who sees, calls and uses ordinary people like you and me.
What does it look like to run the race of faith unhindered?
Join us at OneLove 2025 as we uncover what it means to live free from the distractions, doubts and sins that weigh us down.

5 Ways To Prepare for OneLove
OneLove 2025 is almost here! We’re so excited to gather with over 1,500+ women to sit under God’s Word and fix our eyes on Jesus. Whether this is your first time or your tenth, a little preparation can help you make the most of the day.
Here are five simple ways you can get ready in the lead-up:
1. Familiarise Yourself with the Songs
Worship is a beautiful part of the OneLove experience. Get to know the songs ahead of time so you can engage fully on the day. We’ve made it easy with our official OneLove 2025 Spotify playlist. Listen here
So whether you’re doing the dishes or driving to work, let these truth-filled lyrics shape your heart in the lead-up to the event.
2. Start Praying for OneLove
As we prepare to hear from Jackie Hill Perry, Valerie Ling, and Rachel Ciano, let’s also prepare our hearts in prayer. Pray for softened hearts, smooth logistics, powerful teaching, and deep fellowship.
We’ve put together 4 weekly prayer points to guide you below.
3. Figure Out Your Transport
Planning your transport early will save stress on the day. While there’s plenty of parking onsite, we’d love to encourage carpooling with your friends!
You can also consider public transport options. It’s a 3 minute walk from Norwest Metro Station or short bus trip from Blacktown or Parramatta Stations.
4. Pack Smart for the Day
While OneLove will have food, books, and merch available, it’s a good idea to bring a few basics:
A water bottle
Your favourite pen to take notes
A physical Bible
5. Invite Someone to Join You
You never know who might say yes.
Whether it’s a friend from church, your sister, a neighbour or a coworker, OneLove can be a life-changing experience for someone who’s never been.

5 Tips for Hosting OneLove from Home
You don’t have to be in a big city to experience OneLove. Whether you’re in the bush, by the coast, or a rural town in the middle of nowhere, you can still gather with women in your community and be refreshed by God’s Word. Hosting a OneLove watch party in your home or church is possible and easier than you think!
Here are 5 tips to help you host OneLove from home (or anywhere):
1. Invite the ladies!
Invite your Bible study, church friends, neighbours, or that friend who’s been meaning to come to something. Whether it’s one friend or twenty, sharing the day together can spark deep conversation and shared encouragement.
Let’s be honest, food makes everything better. Set up a grazing board, do it potluck-style, or even order-in lunch for low-effort hosting!
3. Set the tone
Whether it’s your lounge room, church hall, choose a space that’s comfortable and big enough for your group. A big-enough screen and a space for cups of tea and heartfelt chats. Create a space that helps you be present. Have your Bible ready, light a candle, turn off your phone, and bring out the comfiest blankets you own!
4. Pause & reflect throughout the day
Don’t skip the chats! Allow space between sessions for quiet reflection, journaling, or a chat. Here are a few questions you can use to aid your reflection:
1. What is currently hindering my relationship with Jesus?
2. In what areas of my life do I need to trust God more fully?
3. Who in my life can I encourage or walk alongside intheir faith?
4. What did I hear today that stirred my heart or convicted me?
5. How can I practically put these things into practice in my day-to-day life?
5. Keep the conversations going
