I traveled to Melbourne today to attend NCYC - the National Christian Youth Convention. NCYC has been running for 54 years. I had the privilege of organising two conventions, 1995 (Adelaide) and 1997 (Tasmania). What amazing experiences they were! So it is all a little weird coming to NCYC, not to organise it, but as a Bible Study Leader.
Over the next five days Andrew Hartwig and I will be leading 180 or so young people as we explore the radical nature of Mark's gospel. I am looking forward to it, having spent Lent this year at church doing the same.
Convention got off to a great start tonight with Robyn Whittaker introducing the theme using the first few verses of Mark's gospel. The music was good, there were a few technical issues and the crowd was buzzing. All the usual stuff when you get 1300 or so young people together in the same place.
