This is a hidden page with links to good examples of our WorldView Australia talks.
It is designed for speakers to simply get a handle on presenting at WVA camps.
A good presentation should fit within the one hour block, including time for:
Make sure you check what other talks might relate to what you will be presenting, and check with that speaker to ensure you don't end up repeating or stealing someone else's thunder. This is team teaching, we don't have to do it all in one talk.

- Do be aware that the videos are unedited and not for broadcast or publication because sometimes we make verbal mistakes that are simply overlooked in the real context of the room. The visuals are not always visible, and the students also have a notebook in their hands (two A5 pages per session.) You may have to scan forward to the start of a talk, and some talks are broken into 3 or 4 videos. Sometimes the best talks didn't even get recorded! But despite such shortcomings we offer these links to assist your preparation & delivery. We're confident that together we will be able to improve on these examples with future preparations.
- NB: You can't get the same experience as camp by simply watching these talks. Camp relies on the Spirit of God working through all the leaders, especially in the small group relationships, exercises, reflections, ordeals and experiences of living together. These talks are just the content these other elements work with.
A good presentation should fit within the one hour block, including time for:
- 5' Campers settling in from the previous activity, and MCs introducing you;
- 5' Socratic questioning into the topic: Why is this important? Possible solutions? Why? Why? Because you can't give a solution to someone who doesn't see the problem. Help them visualise the problem, and then the solution. This creates active learning rather than passive listening.
- 30' Biblically sound input, presented for youth audiences, that is, engaging their interest somehow. Where relevant this might involve object lessons, illustrations, crowd participation, visuals, stories, and the like. Generally around 30 mins.
- 5' Q&A for clarification and/or application. Time for their questions to be sure of what you said. But it also pays to have up your sleeve a question for them to use to apply the lesson.
- 3' for campers to reflect & write down 3 main points with at least one an action step. And then write one action step in their Action List at the end of their camp book.
- 2-5' stretch break.

This colour-coded camp outline (from the 2024 camp) shows how the talks mix with the small group exercises, relationships, reflections, and the experiences/ordeals of living together.
The colours indicate different speakers sharing the load across the week. The big aim is to create fertile space for the Spirit to transform minds and hearts as only he can. Put yourself where Jesus can use you, and see what he does. |
