NTE is an acronym for "National Training Event". It is the annual conference of AFES (the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students), of which Monash Chrsitian Union is an affiliate. It is much more exciting and dynamic than the name suggests!
It is a unique conference that combines solid Bible teaching, interactive "strand groups" and practical "hands on" ministry experience in a local church. The first part of the conference (from December 5-9) is held in Canberra, and the second part (from December 9-13) will involve taking part in a short term mission to a local church.
Please prayerfully consider coming this year – it is a unique opportunity you don’t outside of uni:
- an opportunity to hear excellent Bible talks from some great speakers.
- Take your understanding of the Bible to a deeper level. Do you know how to read the Bible exegetically with reference to Biblical theology and systematic theology?Do you want to know how to write a Bible talk? Learn how to in strand groups!
- Expand your ministry skills through workshops on areas such as giving your testimony, apologetics and preparing an evangelistic talk.
- Get involved in an intensive short-term mission to a local church. It’s a great opportunity to help serve a church in the lead-up to Christmas and to get to see the life a church outside of Sundays and a Friday night youth group.
