HEART OF CHRIST

BIG CAMP25

North New South Wales

On The Cover Theses icons represent the core principles of this year’s theme, the “Heart of Christ.”

Each icon highlights a key value of a healthy church. The Loving God icon reflects worship and faith at the centre of everything. The Loving Others icon represents compassion and supportive relationships. The Sharing Truth icon emphasises clear and open Biblical teaching. The Growing Family icon symbolises a welcoming, unified community. Finally, the Equipping to Share icon illustrates preparation to share faith beyond the church.

EQUIPPING TO SHARE

WELCOME TO BIG CAMP

Have you ever felt your blood boil, gone weak at the knees, or had sweaty palms? These vivid idioms illustrate emotions so intense that they manifest physically.

In ancient times, the gut - not the heart - were considered the seat of deep emotions. We still use terms such as ‘gut-wrenching’ or “sick to my stomach” to describe profound feelings. The Gospel writers often depict Jesus experiencing deep compassion for crowds and individuals (Matthew 14:14, Mark 8:2). The Greek word translated as “compassion” literally means to be “moved” or “torn up” in one’s gut with love and empathy. Jesus felt love so profoundly for those around Him that He experienced it physically.

And He invites us to be remade in His image. Does our love for one another—within our homes, churches and communities—run so deep that we feel it in our very being?

As we spend this time together, I pray we allow God to renew us in His image, both at camp and beyond. May His love not only stir compassion in our hearts but move us to action—expressed

through support, service, and selfless sacrifice for those around us.

“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God” 1 John 4:7.

Photography At Big Camp

? Not considered indecent ? Not being used for voyeurism ? Not being used for commercial purposes without a Model Release/ Consent.

However, where an event is held on private property, such as Yarra Holiday Park, the owners of the private property are able to restrict or ban photography.

Understanding this, the NNSW Conference requests that you adhere to the following guidelines when it comes to photography at Big Camp: Authorised photographers under the Communications Team have been employed to take photographs at Big Camp.

They will be wearing a staff lanyard.

If you do not wish your child to be photographed by the photographer for any reason, please contact the Camp Office and identify the children.

If you are taking photographs that include minors, please endeavour to restrict the images to those children that are related, or known, to you.

Due to child protection issues, photos of children at camp, other than those that are directly related to you, should not be posted onto the internet, social networking sites or any other form of electronic carriage service.

Photography within the Children's Division tents is restricted to authorised photographers only. A designated 10-minute time frame will be provided at the conclusion of select programs, allowing parents to capture photographs of their children alongside tent leaders and against the tent backdrops.

HEART OF CHRIST

Most people taking photos of children at Big Camp are doing so for acceptable reasons and using appropriate methods.

However, it is worth noting that many photographs taken in public places will include subjects who have not consented to their photo being taken. In Australia,

generally speaking, there is no law restricting photography of people (including children) in public spaces as long as the images are;

GENERAL INFO

Our theme is The Heart of Noah’s Ark, which is centred on the love of Jesus Christ. We are motivated to accept this role by our son Iosefa, who has both autism and ADHD. We pray that every child, regardless of obstacles like autism or ADHD, realises their values, learn about Jesus, and is constantly reminded that they are soldiers for God’s Kingdom.

Conference Wide Offering 26 April 2025 This year, we’re aiming to raise $600,000 to support three powerful evangelistic initiatives: a mobile FM Faith studio, sponsorship for 30 local missionaries, and North Digital. These projects will help share Jesus in ways that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Your generosity can make a lasting impact in spreading the gospel further than ever!

Thank you for being part of this mission!
