                               ARMED & DANGEROUS
    
                          `the Power and the Passion'
                                  APRIL 17-20
    
    
    WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT:-
         
         It's What?
         
              Armed & Dangerous is the brain child of Youth Alive, NSW and 
              Since its inception in 1989, hundreds of lives have been 
              changed with many young people having caused some mega damage 
              to the Devil after attending Armed & Dangerous.  It's the 
              most challenging, radical, wildest, transforming weekend 
              you'll ever attend with Aussie's greatest bands, the world's 
              funniest, punchiest Youth communicators condensed into three 
              and a half day.  Imagine great concerts, relevant teaching, 
              meeting new people and three days of tenting it with your 
              best mates!
         
         It's When?
         
              April 17-20th Easter Weekend starting Friday 17th 7:30pm, and 
              finishing Monday night 20th.

              Concerts, rallies, teaching sessions are all at the Hills 
              Centre (Carrington RD, Castle Hill).  Our Tent City, which is 
              an awesome sight in itself, is where you'll camp in tents 
              provided by us.  Eating area and night cafes are on this site 
              also.  This is right next door to the Hills Centre, at the 
              Castle Hills Show Ground.
         
         What'll I bring?
         
              a)   Yourself
              b)   All your friends
              c)   Soap (please!)
              d)   Deodorant (lest we all die)

              f)   Sleeping bags, pillows, PJ's, toothpaste, toothbrush,
              	   anti-sox-smelling agents (to combat the harmful smells
              	   that come from guy's tents at times).  No personal tents 
              	   allowed! No plates or cutlery needed as we will supply
              	   it all for you.
              
         What can I do?

         What people have said about Armed & Dangerous:
         
              I am writing to let you know that I had an absolutely 
              fantastic time at `Armed & Dangerous' last Easter weekend. 
              I have been a Christian now for just over three years and 
              this is the first `Armed & Dangerous' that I have attended.  
              I am one of about 20 young people and I doubt there was one 
              of us who left that conference without being really touched 
              by God and I think many of us have been totally changed by 
              the different messages spoken.  We even had a young girl, who 
              isn't a Christian yet, say "I have a lot of things to think 
              about".  I guess that's not really a surprise because I don't 
              think it could be possible to attend something like this and 
              not be affected -- Irene
              
              Just thought I'd drop you a line to say Hello and tell you 
              how I loved Armed & Dangerous.  I was really struck by your 
              challenge to ask God to `do a number' on me while I was 
              there.  I thought, "Hmmm, sounds good".  So that's what I 
              prayed and that's what God did -- Brad
              
              Armed & Dangerous was great!  We're bring our entire youth 
              group in '92 -- Les (Youth Leader)
