2010 Vancouver Youth Leadership Conference (VYLC)

1. Gain confidence in teaching the Bible
2. Learn Biblical strategies
3. Improve leadership skills
4. Learn how to build strong Christian disciples

This conference is not just for those involved in youth leadership, it will benefit any Christian young person by giving them the tools to understand the Bible for themselves. Over the course of four days, students learn how to engage with the Bible text, and how to teach it with confidence. Participants take home a greater thirst for God’s Word, and the knowledge of how to build disciples for Christ.

Who should come:

  • Age group: 17-23 year olds, minimum age is those going into grade 11 in the fall
  • Youth leaders and potential youth leaders
  • University & college ministry leaders – there will be special stream for leaders involved in campus and university Christian ministries

About the speaker:

Steve Jeffrey

Steve is also Chairman of KYCK convention which sees over 4500 teenagers gather in New South Wales each year for a weekend of impacting bible teaching and fellowship.

Content:

“And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he (Jesus) interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself” Luke 24:27

The ‘Scriptures’ Jesus was interpreting were the books of the Old Testament. We will look at the whole Bible with a special focus on the book of Isaiah. Isaiah is a book people often shy away from reading or preaching from because of its length. However, more than any other book, Isaiah focuses on the salvation that will come, the Messiah who will come. Isaiah presents our Savior to us in undeniable detail. It is important that we understand how God’s plan of salvation has been and is being worked out. Being taught together from the Old Testament we will gain further understanding of how this book fits into God’s master plan.

Strand 1: If this is your first year at VYLC your small group will be studying Biblical Theology (how the Bible fits together)

Strand 2: If this is your second year at VYLC your small group will be studying Hermeneutics (how to interpret the Bible)

Strand 3: If this is your third year at VYLC your small group will be studying Systematic Theology (doctrine)

Comments from past students:

"VYLC opened my eyes to God's covenants with humanity and why they still remain relevant today in modern ministry. VYLC is a phenomenal resource for anyone who is passionate about bringing the good news of the Gospel to youth in an effective and engaging way."
