Events

Youth Rush Australia is a summer Student Literature Evangelism program open to all youth and young people. Participants learn how to distribute literature door-to-door and share books such as Foods that Heal, Steps To Christ, The Great Controversy and many more together with like-minded youth.

Literature Evangelism is the process of sharing Christ with others through the printed page and has been an integral way Seventh-day Adventist’s have fulfilled the Great Commission since the birth of the advent movement. Literature Evangelism can take many forms from sharing free literature (tracts, pocket books, Mission Book of the Year etc) to selling literature as a self-supporting ministry.

Ellen White’s book Colporteur Ministry (https://m.egwwritings.org/en/book/16.5#) contains much valuable counsel regarding Literature Evangelism. Literature Evangelism in the South Pacific Division is supported by the Adventist Media Literature Ministry department and helpful information can be accessed at https://literature.adventistchurch.com

Yes! See the list of events above.

Conference Youth Rush events vary in length, but generally are between two and four weeks.

All participants are required to stay at the church or university campus with their assigned program for the entire duration. Group activities and daily community provides interaction and bonding with other spiritual young people serving God. You will make new friends!

Each day starts with worship, breakfast and training and then time on the doors selling books. After lunch more time will be spent on the doors, followed by dinner and free time. Will there be any free time? Yes, there is free time each evening after dinner and on the weekends.

No fee is required to attend Youth Rush. The Youth Rush program is supported by funds from Literature Ministry. Part of the money raise through donations received for the books goes towards covering some of the costs. Participants receive a commission of books distributed, minus book, food and fuel expenses. Please refer to your local Conference Youth Rush website above for further details.

After completing two weeks of a Youth Rush program, participants who are currently studying Ministry at Avondale or who choose to study Ministry at Avondale, will also have the opportunity to apply for a Student Literature Evangelism Scholarship.
