2021 Family Camp

Posted on February 24, 2021February 26, 2021 by CYC Waihola

Please note:

All attendees at our Family Camp must register online for catering and health/safety purposes.

About this Camp

CYC Waihola Family Camp is a camp of fellowship, teaching, discussion, great fun, good food and above all getting closer to God through His Holy Scriptures.

The camp is for all families, couples and individuals that desire to dig deeper into the historic faith of the Scriptures. CYC Waihola puts together this camp believing that the Bible is fully inspired by God and is the final authority on all matters of the Christian faith.

The Family Camp committee expects all those at camp to attend all meetings, fully support the camp programme and happily observe the posted camp rules. You will also be expected to assist with camp duties where possible.

Camp Speakers

Here are some of the speakers we have lined up to speak this year….

Logan Hagoort

Bio:
Logan Hagoort is married with three birth children and one foster child. He is passionate about prayer and preaching and has been serving at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Auckland since mid 2017.

Topic:
To be announced

Trevor Webb

Bio:
Trevor Webb (and his wife Mary) both became Christians at Lincoln University and were married in 1974. They are blessed with four daughters and four grandchildren. Trevor has been a ruling elder for over forty years in the Christchurch GPC congregation and they are now members of Grace Bible Church, Dunedin. Trevor has a passion to unfold the relevance of the Old Testament Scriptures.

Topic:
How God kept the Jews through Captivity to Messiah. The 400-year period between the Testaments are often called ‘The Silent Years’. That is because there is no record of this period in Bible history. However, this does not mean that God was not at work! The talks will consider how God preserved his people in Babylon, Egypt and Judea. As in the Old Testament, there were times when God’s people flourished and times where they degenerated. There were heroes of the faith and corrupters of godliness. We will see how prophecy was being fulfilled and how the world was being prepared for the Gospel.

Mervyn Marshall

Bio:
Mervyn Marshall lives in Gore with his wife Marjorie. He is an elder in the Grace Presbyterian Church of Gore and long serving member of the CYC Waihola Council.

Topics:

Covenantors in Scotland

About this Camp

Oh, imagine a land, it’s a faraway place, where the caravan camels roam

Where you wander among every culture and tongue,
as you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars
with the cardamom-cluttered stalls.

You can smell every spice,
while you haggle the price
of the silks and the satin shawls

Oh, the music that plays
as you move through a maze,

in the haze of your pure delight.
