2020 has been a challenging year for the events industry, and yet God has still been at work in impacting and transforming lives. Please join us in praising God for all that He has done in the past year through the ministry of KCC.
2020 has been a year of great challenges and new opportunities. Due to COVID-19, in-person conventions were cancelled and our conference centre was forced to close its doors for business. Although circumstances have been difficult, we have been able to continue the ministry with the use of new technologies. In April, we hosted KYCK Live where God’s word was preached to over 10,000 teenagers as far and wide as Western Australia, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, The United States and The United Kingdom. From June through to early October, we live-streamed Onward, BASECAMP, OneLove and KYCK events to over 6,000 delegates in Australia and overseas. “In a season that has left so many feeling distant and isolated, we really felt like part of a larger Christian community tonight. Looking into Thessalonians and turning the youths’ minds away from themselves and towards the lives they can live through Christ is truly something great. Our youth and leaders had such a great time hanging out and gathering around the word of God today.” “In a world saturated with online content, the talks were perfect length, there was variety of presentations and lots of conversation, so it was easy to stay engaged. The theme and Bible content were incredibly encouraging and challenging.” “Seeing some of my brothers from church face-to-face for the first time in 5 months. Great theme, with three great challenges. A very professional live stream, one of the best I've seen during the COVID season!” “The work and passion that KCC puts into Onward and KYCK is really evident! I really enjoy and look forward to these events every year, and I know that they've played a big role in the Christian journeys of me and others."
This year, we also launched a brand new ‘KCC One’ mobile app--giving users free access to KCC’s extensive library of sermons, workshops, testimonials and ministry resources. Available on mobile and tablet, ‘KCC One’ has a big vision of making God’s word accessible on a worldwide basis.
In October, KCC kicked off ‘Oxygen Live’, a series of FREE online Facebook events aimed at helping Christian leaders and ministry workers to prioritise ministry wellbeing and run refreshed. The ‘Oxygen Live’ panels have featured mentors and psychologists such as Tim Dyer, Dr Grant Bickerton and Dr Valerie Ling who have joined us to address topics such as ministry stress, crisis management and burn out.

In June, we commenced a fundraising effort to raise a minimum of $750,000 to see KCC through the challenges of 2020. So far, KCC supporters have contributed over $510,000! We are now seeking to raise the remaining $240,000 before the end of this year. If you have been blessed by the ministry of KCC and have the capacity to give, we would love to invite you to consider donating to our ministry here: https://bit.ly/2Tiv1Bl
