Crosslands Youth & Convention Centre, NSW
9th – 12th October 2025
Youth & Family Bible Camp exists to encourage and uplift families and individuals in their Christian walk. Now more than ever we sense the need to press together and exhort and encourage each other. The day of Christ’s coming is nearer than when we first believed.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.”
- Hebrews 10:25

Connected to Christ
“I am the Vine, ye are the branches,” Christ said to His disciples. Though He was about to be removed from them, their spiritual union with Him was to be unchanged. The connection of the branch with the vine, He said, represents the relation you are to sustain to Me. ... The life of the vine becomes the life of the branch. So the soul dead in trespasses and sins receives life through connection with Christ. By faith in Him as a personal Saviour the union is formed. The sinner unites his weakness to Christ’s strength, his emptiness to Christ’s fullness, his frailty to Christ’s enduring might. ... Christ said, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.” ... Separated from the vine, the branch cannot live. No more, said Jesus, can you live apart from Me. The life you have received from Me can be preserved only by continual communion.

And Jesus said unto them, “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shallnever hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” John 6:35

“I needed help, and I found it in Jesus. Every want was supplied,
the hunger of my soul was satisfied; and now the Bible is to me the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Do you ask why I believe in Jesus? --Because He is to me a divine Saviour.
Why do I believe the Bible? --Because I have found it to be the voice of God to my soul.”
