Trusting God in the Wilderness

Talks from the Book of Numbers

Every year, at the Canberra Women’s Christian Convention, we come together to find renewal, strength, and a deeper connection with God and one another. In a world that often feels overwhelming and disconnected, we seek moments of clarity and spiritual nourishment. Whether it is to strengthen our faith, gain fresh perspective, or simply be reminded of God’s unchanging promises, we gather as a community to grow in trust and understanding.

This year, as we explore the Book of Numbers, we will discover the encouragement we need in God’s faithfulness. Just as the Israelites wandered through the wilderness, uncertain and in need of guidance, we often find ourselves in seasons of struggle and confusion. Yet, even in the wilderness, God’s presence and provision never waver. He remains faithful, guiding His people step by step.

At this year’s convention, we will reflect on how trusting God through the wilderness shapes our lives and draws us closer to Him. We will explore the depths of His unwavering faithfulness and learn to rely on His word, no matter where we are on our journey.

I hope you will join us as we trust God together, unpacking His Word and finding strength in His promises.

Our Keynote Speaker: Jess Sheely

Jess serves Jesus in Sydney’s CBD as an Assistant Pastor at Scots Church Sydney. She loves seeing her church family grow in maturity in Christ and sending many of them to other major cities worldwide, more equipped to love Jesus and love others.

Jess studied at Moore Theological College and completed a ministry apprenticeship at Hunter Bible Church in Newcastle. At Scots, she oversees the Bible study network and Exploring Jesus courses. She has a particular love for the Old Testament—seeing how it provides a deep foundation for understanding the Lord Jesus and assurance of God’s ongoing faithfulness.

Jess is married to Alex, who is studying at Sydney Missionary & Bible College, and enjoys catching up with friends over a long run or a good craft project.​
