So, what's it about?...

Word of Life is very experienced in working within a school settings, and therefore appreciate the need for programs to be punctual and well run. Seminars are planned for a 60 minute schedule. Word of Life staff are well prepared and groomed, and considerate of the facilities, whilst being helpful, cooperative and flexible.
Our seminars are:

  • Engaging and dynamic
  • Contemporary and relevant,
  • Informative,
  • Utilize multi-media,
  • Contain personal stories,
  • A clear presentation of the Gospel.

How it all started?

In Touch Seminars  have been  operating for  4 years , and in that time  Word of Life has  conducted over 120 seminars, and reached thousands of secondary students concerning  topical issues, such as binge drinking. 

Typical activities...

Many seminars have already been booked for Sydney and regional centres in 2012. ( Cities and Towns include   Nowra, Port Macquarie, Tamworth, Northern Inland, Wagga Wagga.)  

Here are some seminars that we run:

  • Hope in a Time of Crisis!

    The Michael Fattal Story. This is a young man‟s story in dealing with the incurable and terminal disease of Cystic Fibrosis. Though Michael is faced with the reality of death every day, he tells us his in-spirational story of hope and life. Michael candidly shares his struggles, goals and aspirations leading to his testimony of faith in Christ.

  • Go for it!

    What is real success? We have put together the stories of men and women who have been successful in their fields. Whether it be business, sports, politics or academia; these stories are compelling. Attention is given to a definition of success and the key benchmarks that lead to success. Each participant then sheds light on their personal story in context of their faith in Christ and therefore enjoying the ultimate success. This type of success can be the experience of anyone who accepts God‟s gracious provision of salvation.

  • It’s a Sports crazed world!

    Discipline leads to achievement. To be a world class athlete requires significant physical discipline. But what about other aspects of life? High pro-file athletes share the need to be disciplined on and off the playing field and how their faith in Christ helps them. Stu-dents are encouraged to “run the race of life” with Christ.

  • Danger Ahead

    Drugs and alcohol. Choices have consequences and in many cases they are dev-astating. Australia‟s binge drinking culture is rampant among teens. This seminar portrays the real life tragedy that can occur when one is under the influence of alcohol. The student is encouraged to consider the potential negative life changing consequences that alcohol can bring and then, the positive life changing realities that occur when one comes to Christ.

  • Who is Jesus

    The biblical Jesus. Our cameras have gone to the streets to get responses to the question, Who is Jesus? Our staff then present the bibli-cal Jesus emphasizing his deity, death, burial and resurrec-tion.. This leads naturally to a clear Gospel presentation.

  • Gym Jam

    Activity based event. This is an exciting and dynamic activity based programme designed primarily for years 7&8. Unusual and highly entertaining team games are featured. There is a lot of en-ergy expended in Gym Jam………. so hold on! Students are encouraged to consider the real game of life only to be participated in when one comes to Christ.

  • Awe of God

    The heavens declare the glory of God! This multi media presentation features the magnificence of God‟s glory. Several Australian scientist testify of the real-ity of God and a personal faith in Christ. Emphasis is placed on the compatibility of their academic pursuits and their belief in a personal and powerful God who is engaged with HIS creation.

  • CHRISTMAS

    Mr. Christmas Box is big hit amongst elementary students. This programs tells the real reason for Christ‟s birth via popular Christmas imagery. The giant Christmas Card speaks of God‟s special message of Christ. The candy cane with its “J” shape points us to Jesus and the colors of red and white tell us the real purpose of HIS com-ing. Christmas lights tell us of his being the “light” of the world. Christ-mas is joyous because of Jesus and the free gift of salvation that He offers to all who will trust in Him.

  • EASTER

    A mix of the old and new in telling the story of Easter. A modern day reporter interviews a Roman soldier who was present at the crucifixion and on guard when Jesus strangely disappeared. The account is adapted from the bible and emphasizes the fact that Jesus died for our sins and rose again. The reality of Easter is that we can know our sins are forgiven and that we have “life” in Jesus.
