What to Bring... 

Practical Needs

You will need to bring:
  • Pillow & pillow case
  • sleeping bag and/or
  • bedding (duvet, sheets, warm blanket)
  • HOT WATER BOTTLE (if you don’t know what this is, ask someone who knows… it will be your best friend at conference)
Keswick has good shower facilities! You will need to bring:
  • Face & body towels
  • Shampoo, conditioner, soaps, deodorant 
  • Hair dryer
  • Don’t forget your toothbrush & tooth paste.
Weather is forecast to be a mixture of fine and rainy, with temperatures between 
2C-12C. So bring:
  • Warm clothing, 
  • Comfortable walking/hiking shoes if you want to go explore Rotorua (bush walks, redwoods, luge, visiting tourist places, etc.), 
  • an umbrella or hat
  • rainproof jacket with hoodie
  • warm clothes for sleeping too
  • scarf & gloves
  • if you are planning to go to the hot springs, bring you swimming togs (swimsuit) and a big towel. 

For Sessions & Workshops

For the conference sessions and workshops you need to bring:
  • A Bible (definitely in your first language if you have one – we will have some at the conference)…
    *Note – you may not have access to internet all the time so it would be helpful to have a physical ‘book’ Bible with you.
  • Pens, pencils, highlighters

Sharing Your Culture

ON SATURDAY NIGHT WE ARE HAVING A “LET THE NATIONS PRAISE” CHRISTMAS CAROLING NIGHT.

These are SOME IDEAS for you to bring:
  • Traditional clothing/costume from your nation
  • A Christmas worship song/hymn in your first language – bring the lyrics so we can all sing along… OR even:​
  • ​Traditional instrument (if you actually play it – LOL)
  • If you have a YouTube video to share for lyrics, make sure you know the link and we'll look it up and have it ready.​
