Trevor Pearce spoke at the first session at the conference. The opening address is usually a talk to just set the basics of what we do here - encourage youth and children's work where the Bible is heard clearly.
Trev spoke from Romans 1, and highlighted the fact that the children and young people we are seeking to influence live in a very hostile environment for the gospel. Their world is happy for them to have their christian faith in a bubble, but not for them to bring their beliefs out of their 'privacy bubble' into the real world. If they do, the will be persecuted for it.
But what gives us confidence is that the Gospel message is a message from God, not a message from men. It is true historically. And therefore we are obligated to others to share the truth with them (1 v 15).
A great talk that set us off in the right direction. Thanks Trev.
