Support PY

What you can do to support PY

You can support the ministry of PYNSW in many ways, including through prayer, giving and volunteering.

Pray for PY

July 2025

Here's how you can be praying for us:

  • Give thanks for the generous response to the PYNSW SRE EOFY appeal. Pray that these funds would be used wisely to strengthen SRE in schools across NSW.
  • Pray for fruitful conversations at the PYNSW stall during the General Assembly.
  • Ask that church leaders would be inspired to take the next step in helping the children and youth in their communities grow as disciple-making followers of Jesus.
  • Pray for our Summer Camp team leaders as they prepare for the year ahead. Ask that they would lead their teams with wisdom and joy, and make faithful plans that will shape camp for years to come.
  • Pray for kids and youth group leaders to find rest and refreshment during the school holidays. Ask that they would return with renewed energy and fresh ideas for opening God’s Word with their young people.
  • Pray for HSC students, especially those preparing for trial exams. Ask that they would find peace in God’s love and presence during a stressful season. Pray especially for those considering the Lead for Life internship in 2025, that God would guide their decisions and stir their hearts for ministry.
  • Ask God to grow youth and children’s ministries across NSW so that more young people might hear the good news of Jesus and be equipped to live for him in every area of life.

Think Christ. Live Christ

We have recently created a book on the history of camping in the Presbyterian Church in NSW. You can order a copy of the book.

Mark Neasey Memorial

Mark Neasey (1959-2024) was an elder at Blacktown East Presbyterian Church, and provided some practical support to PYC in their finance and governance around 2009. Growing up, Mark enjoyed attending PFA camps.

As a youth, Mark enjoyed the opportunity that PFA/PY camps provided for him to receive good teaching from the Bible and come to accept Jesus as His Lord and Saviour.  Spending time with other young Christians, learning in Bible Study groups as well as more sustained conversations over shared meals and late night chats with older Christians had a profound influence on his life and faith.

He also enjoyed the fun and activities that took place on camp.

Catherine and Mark Neasey
In Mark’s memory, a fund has been set up to help support bringing people along to camp; this is used by PY to help people who have financial difficulties be able to travel sometimes across much of NSW, to come to camp.
 
If you would like to think about how you might leave a gift to further support bringing people to camp, we would love to hear from you, and talk about how this could be achieved. Please contact PYNSW General Manager David Phillips to arrange a conversation.
