We primarily do this with one-day kids events and leaders' training throughout the year where we equip kids and their leaders to continue to grow in and serve Christ every day in their local churches, and to be inspired by the gospel as it transforms lives all across the world.
In addition to the many volunteer leaders recruited for each camp or event, we are overseen by the Youth and Children's Committee (the PYCC) of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria (PCV) and our Youth & Children's Worker.
Hi, I’m Nick! I currently serve as the Youth & Children’s Worker (YCW) for the Presbyterian Church of Victoria. Before stepping into ministry, I worked as a teacher in both Australia and England.
I’m based in Geelong, a beautiful coastal city, and worship at Geelong West Presbyterian Church. Outside of ministry, I enjoy spending time with my wife and friends, running & travelling. I believe life is richest when we invest in relationships and enjoy God’s creation together.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role and excited to see how God continues to use this ministry to help children and young people across Victoria grow in their personal relationship with Jesus.
Hi, I'm Liza! I currently serve as the Assistant to the Youth & Children's Worker (AYCW), working alongside Nick and the PYCC to bring the Word of God to young people in Victoria.
I am currently based in Ballarat, and worship at Grace Ballarat Presbyterian Church. Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and finding opportunities to learn new things. I am awed by the breadth of God's created world and believe that He reveals Himself more and more as we experience his creation.
I have been involved in PYV's ministry over the last 13 years as a youth participant, and later as a volunteer leader. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to share in this important Gospel ministry again and support the work of the YCW and PYCC in reaching youth and children with the life-changing message of Jesus.

PWMU
The Presbyterian Women's Missionary Union (PWMU) supports mission coordinators in congregations across Victoria, arranging for cross-cultural workers on home assignment to speak, widening understanding of cross-cultural gospel work and encouraging love for the unreached.
PKV works with PWMU to put on Dayspring Day, an annual missions day filled with fun, food, song and activity, to teach and enthuse primary school-aged children about cross-cultural workers both overseas and here in Australia.
