Youth Rush 2026

This year we have programs running July 5-18, 2026 at two locations: Murwillumbah/Bray Park and Maitland.

Want to be involved in mission over the holidays?

Who? Any young person age 14+ who loves God!

Youth Rush is an exciting Literature Evangelism program happening in the NNSW Conference this winter specifically for youth and young adults. The program includes:

– Training from experienced literature evangelists.
– An opportunity to experience front-line mission work.
– An encouraging spiritual environment with daily worships and interaction with other spiritual young people serving God.
– Free accommodation and meals for the duration of the program.

This year we are running a TWO winter programs at the same time. The Northern program will be in Murwillumbah/Bray Park and the Southern program in Maitland!

The Northern program will be based out of Bray Park church, and will be led by Nathan Thomas. It will be a smaller program, with space for around 8 participants.

The Southern program will be larger and will be at Maitland, and will be led by Harley Southwell. It will have space for around 20 participants.

When? July 5-19, 2026.

Please note, we encourage you to stay for the duration of the event, that way we can bond as a team and get the full benefits. If you are unable to stay for the whole time, please note it in the application below.

We are excited for you to join us! Invite a friend too, and let’s share Jesus together!

If you have any questions, please contact Harley Southwell.

Which program would you like to attend? (NOTE: Becuase spaces are limited for the Northern program, we will prioritize locals for this program first. Non-locals are welcome to apply to attend the Murwillumbah/Bray Park program, and we will consider this preference, but we can't garantee you will get it and you may be asked to attend the Maitland one. Also, if we haven't filled up the Northern program, we may ask some who have selected the Southern program if they could head to the Northern one. Thanks for your understanding.)
