The program was an energetic celebration of the calling that God has put on each woman’s heart. This was then followed with a wonderful marketplace with a variety of foods and stalls supporting businesses and charities run by women from all over the NNSW conference. Many women expressed how much they enjoyed having the chance to get together with their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends for such a fun and uplifting night.
'Treasured’ adventurer rallies for west and south
Adventurers hailing from the western and southern regions of our conference have convened in recent weeks for the esteemed 'Treasured' adventurer rally. The first of the two was held in Tamworth on May 20 with the second at Gateway Church on June 3. The children and leaders enjoyed music, children’s skits, and other engaging activities. Colleen Savage, NNSW children and family ministries director was the guest speaker for the event and reminded the adventurers of their worth in God and how much He treasured every one of His children. The afternoon was an opportunity to complete a treasure box craft that encouraged the children to remember what they had learned at the rally.
‘We the Girls’ is an initiative started by a group of pastors from NNSW conference. The main purpose was to bring women and girls together in community to minister to and empower them. It was exciting to see God move once again in a powerful way, and we are already looking forward to our next one!

NNSW youth director, Pastor Dana Howard shares how adventurer rallies are an excellent way for clubs to network and mingle with other clubs in their area. Pastor Howard adds that “adventurer rallies are a great opportunity particularly for smaller clubs to interact with larger clubs and it is just a lot of fun for the kids.”
