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

December 2025

Here's how you can be praying for us:

  • L4L – prayers answered! Give thanks for the additional interns who have signed up for this year’s internship: pray for the L4L leadership team that they would be able to work together well
  • Pray for our SRE teachers as they teach their final lessons, that they would have a restful Christmas break
  • Give thanks for all who have registered to come to summer camp for safe travel to and from camp, and that many would respond to the gospel
  • Give thanks for the work of the PY staff team this year
  • Pray for all the parents and carers of our youth and kids in Presbyterian churches that they would continue to disciple the young people well

Support PY

Financially

Your generous gift to PY can help to equip SRE teachers to teach about Jesus in schools, create networking opportunities and resources for youth leaders, help us with the future of our camping ministry, and provide theological training through the Lead Plus initiatives.

Donate to PYNSW's SRE Work

In this final part of 2025, though, we are looking in particular to raise support for our camping ministry.

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.
