WVA Talks

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 what is required of them when they present at WVA camps. [NB: You can't get the same experience as camp by simply watching these talks. Camp actually 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.]

A good presentation should fit within the one hour block, and include time for:
  • Campers settling into the room
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
Make sure you check what the other related talks will be presenting, so that you don't end up repeating or stealing someone else's thunder. This is team teaching.

Click on the links to good examples. Be aware that the uploads are unedited and not for broadcast or publication: 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. 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 for future preparations. The whole playlist can be viewed here.

Picture
This colour-coded camp outline (from the 2024 camp) shows how the talks mix with the small group exercises, relationships, reflections, ordeals and experiences 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.
