Well, I’m back from Contagious 2005. For those of you who don’t know about Contagious, it is a Christian youth conference for 14 to 19 year olds. Not so much a holiday as a Bible boot camp, the teaching really gets into the Bible in depth. The speakers are really great, delivering really hard-hitting, practical and moving messages. It’s great fun, too, with a packed schedule of activities.

I’ve had a great time, and met some lovely people – some for the first time, some who I have been friends with now for years. I’m really tired after such an intense week, so I won’t give a full rundown on it just yet, but stay tuned.

MP3s of the talks will be available to download for free online soon from the official Contagious website. If you’ll be aged 14 to 19 this time next summer, and want to have a great time getting into the Bible in a fun environment, then why not come along? Next year’s subject is The Cross of Christ, the very heart of the Christian message.
