Easter Camp is in progress.

Speakers

Rob Harley

Rob is a specialist in communications with more than twenty five years' experience in TV news and current affairs. 

Rob has had considerable experience in investigative journalism and has undertaken a variety of international assignments in countries such as India, Vietnam, East Timor, Cambodia and Kosovo. He has picked up two Gold Medals at the New York Film and Television Awards in recent years.  

Rob has branched out into more intensive television production developing a series called 'Extreme Close Up' - which ran for three seasons on mainstream television in New Zealand featuring stories about people overcoming adversity through personal belief and courage. It picked up Best Information Series at the NZ Media Awards in it's second season. He's also developed a course in public speaking which he's been running for three years, helping people sharpen their communication skills.  

His particular passion is working on behalf of aid agencies like World Vision and Opportunity International making documentaries and promotional material to help raise the profile of these agencies and their work among the poor.

And he is coming to Totara Springs to share these and other interesting stories with you! 

Graham Ashby

Graham grew up in the multi-cultural suburb of Otara (South) Auckland, NZ, in a solo parent home. His first introduction to Christianity came when he joined a Boys Rally group and it was mostly through the love, concern and help of those Rally leaders that Graham became a Christian at the age of 13, while attending a Billy Graham Crusade meeting. Later the family moved to Oamaru and it was here that Graham was introduced to the Christian Church family at the Gospel Chapel.

At the age of 18 doctors diagnosed Graham as having a malignant cancer, an event which ultimately proved to be the turning point in his life. Faced with only six months to live and with the reality of death, he was brought to his knees before the Lord. There on the floor of the old Dunedin hospital he turned his life entirely over to God. After radical and major surgery, now more than 30 years ago, he continues with the commitment made that day to serve his Lord. Graham & Wanda Ashby have been in Evangelistic Ministry for over 20 years now.

Between 1984 - 1986 they worked at Totara Springs Christian Centre. Since 1986 they have been associated with the Oamaru Gospel Chapel, working full-time in preaching and teaching to all denominations in New Zealand and overseas.

Graham's record as a graduate of the N.Z Assembly Bible School (Auckland), Totara Springs Christian Centre (Theological Student) and the Moody Bible Institute (Chicago U.S.A) is an indication of his deep desire to know and to communicate the Bible's message to the people of today.

The Cost

The cost for Easter camp is calculated by adding the base fee together for each family member. If the cost exceeds the amount of $630.00, it will be capped at that amount, and your choice of accommodation is added to the base fee for the total amount.
