We are thrilled to announce the return of the Greater Sydney Conference Big Camp for another year! Rego closes March 24th.
The event promises a week filled with spiritual enrichment, practical guidance, and empowering encouragement.
This year’s theme, “Empowered to Go” based on Acts 1:8 (“…you will be my witnesses in Sydney, and in all Australia, and to the ends of the earth.”) resonates with the Cycle of Evangelism and Harvest 25 initiatives, underscoring the call to action for believers to step into their roles as disciples of God.

The highlight of this year’s gathering will be keynote addresses by prominent speakers Dr. Randy Roberts (Big Tent) and Pastor Ramdin (Youth & YA). Dr. Randy Roberts, Senior Pastor at Loma Linda University Church, brings a wealth of experience and insight on living a life of faith in contemporary society. Pastor Adam Ramdin, Executive Producer of Lineage Journey, will share his unique perspectives on historical faith journeys and their relevance today. Together, they aim to equip attendees to nurture resilience and embrace their spiritual mission.
Chuck Hagele and Brenda Walsh have just finished shooting a new program called Life Ready Families and they will also be at Big Camp this year with eye-opening and exciting presentations.
