THE STORY OFTHE EXODUS
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Bro Stephen Macfarlane
Ontario, Canada
G’day everyone! We wanted to introduce ourselves to you all as registration begins for the 37th Australasian Christadelphian Youth Conference.
Realle and I couldn’t be more excited to join you all, God willing, for AYC2023 along with Ethan (6), Joshua (4) and Adaline (2). We’re coming to you from across the pond in Ontario, Canada – home to lots of waterfalls, delicious maple syrup, and cold winters. We attend the Book Rd Ecclesia in Hamilton (45 mins South of Toronto), out of which runs the Christadelphian Heritage College school.
While Realle and I previously visited AUS in 2011 (highlights included: riding the O-Baun, visiting the Sydney Aquarium, and getting to see Tim Badger again), we’re excited at the prospect of spending a week around the study of the word of God at the Conference. We have incredible memories of our time at Manitoulin Youth Conference, the AYC of the West, and appreciate what a special time the week can be. God willing, we’ll see you all in 558 days (and counting).

THE STORY OF THE EXODUS
Have you ever put yourself there with the children of Israel, seeing all that they saw, experiencing all that they experienced in the early chapters of Exodus?
Stark reminders that God remembers His people, that with God – all things are possible! The story of the Exodus is a timeless message as we prepare for the greater type in our own discipleship: overcoming Egypt, stepping into roles within the work of the Truth, getting to know God, trusting in a future deliverance.
We worship a changeless God who operates under changeless principles – and God willing we will see ourselves in this story of the Exodus. Like the children of Israel, we are instructed to be prepared – with our shoes on our feet, our staff in our hand, prepared to leave Egypt behind.
As we prepare for an incredible week at AYC2023 through the use of this study, we prepare for what’s just beyond us as we walk together towards Zion. Even, so come!

Conference Fundraising
Delivering an accessible and affordable Youth Conference
To deliver a Youth Conference that is reasonably affordable for all Young People, the Committee has developed an ambitious fundraising strategy. In addition to this, the ongoing support of Ecclesias both financially and through attendance at fundraising events will be crucial to the success of the Youth Conference.
