I.D. :: The 2009 North Island Winter Conference


Ever wondered who you really are? This year’s Student Life i.d. conference was a chance for north island students to come together in order to discover more about their eternal thumbprint and who God created them to be. Roger Hershey, or “Hersh,” who has worked for 37 years with Campus Crusade in the USA came to New Zealand as our guest speaker. Jill also briefly served under Hersh when he was the director at Miami of Ohio. I believe everyone here found his talks to be funny, touching, and challenging as we surfaced what it means that our identity is now found in Christ alone.
We had 14 students from Wellington attend the conference. The two biggest highlights for the majority of our students were the cross-campus teams they participated in throughout the conference and the day of outreach where everyone went into the community of Matamata to share the love of Christ.
Once again, this conference opportunity has really helped solidify our community as a movement for Wellington Student Life. It has also rekindled ,in those who attended, a desire to talk about Christ with their best mates and extend the Gospel to others on campus.
