The AFES National Training Event brings together students from right across Australia. Five awesome days in Canberra praising God, digging into his Word, and training to serve Him.
Tuesdays 1pm

The Bible is God’s word so we want to hear him speak.
That’s why every week during semester 80-100 of us gather in a lecture theatre to hear God’s word proclaimed. We’d love you to join us.

Small Groups
Every week groups of 8-10 students meet to read the Bible, think about it’s implications, and pray.
Small Groups are a great way to grow in your knowledge and love of God and of other students in your faculty.
Equip
Mondays 4-6pm, starting March 11
Serving Jesus effectively requires character, conviction, and competence. Equip is our weekly training sessions designed to help us grow in all three.
This semester you can choose from a range of training electives and wrestle with exploring how we can get better at sharing the gospel of Jesus with our own friends in Common Hour, and enjoy dinner with other Christian students from all over campus.
4pm Electives (meet in the Arts Courtyard, 6 August)
Choose from a range of courses designed to equip you to serve Jesus more effectively (see the back of this sheet). If you haven’t done Sharing the Gospel or Uncover, then start with one of them.
If you want to do an elective but can’t make Mondays 4pm, then let us know via the form below (hey that rhymes!) and we’ll try to find another time that will work for you.
Sharing the Gospel ($15)
Get experience in a clear, memorable way of explaining the gospel of Jesus.
Uncover: Luke’s Gospel ($10)
Learn how to introduce someone to Jesus through the gospel of Luke.
How to Read the Bible ($20)
Discover how to better read and understand the Bible for yourself.
Small Group Leader Training ($20)
Learn how to effectively lead a Bible study group at Christian Union or in your church.
1-1 Bible Reading ($15)
Learn how to meet up with another person to read the Bible and encourage each other.
Apologetics ($10)
Learn how to engage persuasively with people’s questions and criticisms of Christianity
5pm Common Hour (Arts Lecture Room 5)
Common Hour is a seminar-style session (think something like Mid Year Conference seminars). This semester we’re going to be exploring how we can get better at sharing the gospel of Jesus with our own friends.
6pm Dinner
We work together to provide dinner for each other over the semester. For $40 for the semester you’ll get dinner after every Equip session to help sustain you for the trip home.
