We acknowledge our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, the creator, provider and supreme owner of all things.

We also acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We pay tribute to elders past and present and acknowledge that they have cared for this country over countless generations.

We recognise the continuing contribution that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to Australia and endeavour to work together to leave a legacy of reconciliation, justice and hope for all future Australians.

PRESIDENT Alban Matohiti Editors

Welcome Dear Brothers & Sisters!

We are not created simply to exist for ourselves, but to reflect God’s love by serving others. Each of us has been uniquely shaped and gifted for a purpose. As we discover that together, let us empower one another to step into that purpose—within our church and our wider communities.

Welcome to another Big Camp!

Big Camp 2026 Offering GSC Partner Island Mission Offering, 18 April Across the South Pacific, our brothers and sisters are sharing the hope and healing of Jesus in places many of us will never see. From sunrise to sunset they serve—through rain and under the blazing sun—bringing the message of Christ to their communities.

This year Greater Sydney Conference has an opportunity to support our mission partners, Solomon Island Mission and American Samoa in their evangelism campaigns taking place in July as part of the Trans Pacific Union Mission's TPUM for Christ. The GSC Evangelism offering collected on 19 April this year will help in three important ways.

First, it supports Greater Sydney Conference to send out team members who will speak at the evangelistic campaigns that are being held across the islands.

Second, it supports local believers who labour faithfully with limited resources but generous hearts. Your gift helps strengthen their ministry as they reach people who are still waiting to hear the good news of Jesus.

Lastly, it helps provide for the families who open their homes to host and care for our volunteers. Their hospitality is a real sacrifice, and this offering helps ensure we come as a blessing, not a burden, as we serve alongside them.

You can give today through the offering plate, or online at eGiving.org.au.

Via eGiving.org.au locate the tithe line: Evangelism - GS Conference.

Thank you for your generosity and thank you for being part of God’s mission in both the Solomon Islands and American Samoa.

He achieves this by empowering church leaders and educators with advanced training and support, tailored to both conferences and individual churches.

With a dynamic and engaging approach to training, Curtis conducts numerous workshops annually in the US and abroad, sharing his extensive knowledge and passion for teaching.

His expertise is built on over 30 years of distinguished experience in both teaching and departmental leadership, benefiting a wide range of religious communities and conferences worldwide. These include notable organizations such as the North American Division, Southern England Conference, and Australian Union Conference, among many others.

Curtis’s past tenure as the Sabbath School General Superintendent at the Atlanta Berean SDA Church, one of North America’s largest Adventist churches, is particularly remarkable.

There, he led a thriving Sabbath School department catering to over 500 members weekly, showcasing his exceptional leadership and organizational skills.

Curtis Hall is not just a trainer; he is a transformational figure in Sabbath School facilitation. His commitment is to guide every class, regardless of size, on an enriching spiritual journey, ensuring a vibrant and interactive learning experience for all participants.

BIO

Pr Juan Carlos Patrick (UK) South England Conference

Juan Patrick was born on the island of the Dominican Republic. During his adolescence, Patrick served as a deacon, Sabbath School teacher, elder, and preacher in his local church, in his district, and on other Caribbean islands. Patrick studied Theology and Education at the Antillean University in Puerto Rico, where he held various roles in campus ministry, incl. Youth Director, President of the Student Association, and Director of Social Activities, until his graduation in 2004.

After graduating, he worked as a secondary school teacher and chaplain, Youth Pastor and later as Senior Pastor, conducting weeks of prayer and revivals in churches for teenagers and young people, and conferences in about 38 of the 50 states of the United States. He completed postgraduate studies in Theology in Old Testament and Hebrew Bible at Newbold College in collaboration with Lampeter University. He also earned another master’s degree in education, Curriculum, and Instruction from the Antillean University in partnership with Andrews University. Currently, he serves as a pastor in the South England Conference.

Road Trip The Youth Department is planning an exciting Road Trip With A Purpose this June, and we want to know who’s keen to join!

We’ll be starting in Sydney and road-tripping north toward the Great Barrier Reef, stopping along the way to run mini STORMCo-style service projects in local communities. It’s a chance to serve, and connect with others.

Purpose: Service, community, and adventure!

The trip will finish with some sightseeing and time exploring the beauty of the reef before heading home. Contact: Jacinda Ralph at jacindaralph@adventist.org.au.

UPCOMING YOUTH EVENTS Summer Camps

YOUTH

In 2027 the Greater Sydney Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church will run their usual 'Summer Camps'. Summer Camp will take place at Crosslands Convention Centre. The days will be jam-packed with fun, faith, and friendship.

Jets Summer Camp: Jan 12th – 17th, 2027 Teen Summer Camp: Jan 19th- 24th, 2027 Youth Rally + Sports Competition Sydney Adventist Youth is hosting a 1-night sports competition (The SDA Cup) on June 13th, at Mountain View Adventist College.

Teams are invited to register for either a mixed basketball or a mixed volleyball team. Before the action kicks off at 5:30 pm, join us for a youth rally starting at 3 pm. Whether you're a basketball enthusiast or a volleyball ace, we've got something for everyone!

Form your dream team and register now for just $200 per team.

European Adventist Youth Congress Join thousands of young people from across the world at the European Adventist Youth Congress 2026 (AYC26) in Valencia, Spain, from 4–8 August 2026. Connect with Adventist youth from different cultures, be inspired by powerful speakers and music, and grow deeper in your faith. If you're interested in being part of this life-changing experience, reach out to learn how you can join!

Adventurer Camporee Camporee is a vibrant weekend of adventure, worship, and hands-on activities designed for all Adventurer Clubs across the GSC. This year, our theme “Little Bible Heroes” will invite our Adventurers to explore what it means for a young person to serve the Living Most High God. Through stories, activities, and worship, children will discover how God uses willing hearts—no matter how small—to do great things for His kingdom. This special event also welcomes parents to join their Adventurers for a full family campout experience.

GREATER SYDNEY CONFERENCE

Partner Island Mission 2026

In 2026, the Trans Pacific Union Mission (TPUM) is set to host Pacific for Christ, a large-scale evangelistic initiative aligned with the “I Will Go” strategy (Mission Refocus initiative), of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

This focus builds on the incredible impact of Papua New Guinea for Christ in 2024, where more than 100 pastors and members from Australia were a part of PNG for Christ and came home with a renewed enthusiasm for mission in Australia.

This year we have a special opportunity to support our partner missions in the Solomon Islands and American Samoa broaden their evangelistic reach.
