Six Special Guests Confirmed for Katoomba Easter Convention PLUS Win a Double or Family Pass!

With only three weeks until Easter, we are pleased to introduce the six special guests confirmed for Katoomba Easter Convention this year. We’re also giving TWO people an opportunity to WIN a Double or Family Pass!

At Katoomba Easter Convention, we will be gathering under God’s word to explore the theme, “The Kindness of God: The Action That Changes a Destiny”. This year, we have six special guests who will be joining our Adult, Children and Youth Programs. Get to know them here! ​

Meet Nicole Starling
​

Nicole Starling will be joining the Adults Program to share a biography on the kindness of God in the life of Elizabeth Saunders. Having recently completed a PhD in Australian Religious History at Macquarie University, Nicole believes that learning from history is one way in which we can see God’s kindness in the lives of real people:  

“One of the things I love about history is the way in which it helps us see the way that faith in God gets worked out in the lives of real, fallible, frail, relatable people. Elizabeth Saunders was an amazing woman...However, they were also frail, imperfect and vulnerable people themselves who were dependent on God’s kindness in their own lives." ​

Meet Louise Gosbell
​

Louise Gosbell will be sharing her testimony in the Adults Program this year. She is the Dean of Students and Lecturer in New Testament at Mary Andrews College in Sydney. Louise has a keen interest in the issue of disability has completed a PhD which looked at disability in the gospels. She has recently completed a disability handbook which aims to help churches to become more inclusive of people with disabilities and their families. Louise is married to Mark who is a Principal at a special school, and they have 3 teenage daughters.
