What is E3?
A weekend conference held by CWCI. We have talks and activities lead by experienced and real Christians who walk the Christian life and know what it’s like. People who have really lived their faith. Come escape the everyday and connect with God.
Enlightened know the hope to which he has called you
Enriched by the riches of his glorious inheritance
Empowered that power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted
Why come?
E3 is a conference for those who seek to immerse themselves in Bible teaching that transforms how they live a life of faith. Our speakers are women who have lived a life of faith which they share bringing the Bible to life. There are many opportunities to pray in groups pairs or individually so that we may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in our inner being. We sing old and new songs with a great band and you can dance while you sing.
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you" Ephesians 1:18

Speaker for 2025
Sandy Mckay - Main Speaker
Sandy knew little about Christ, until she attended ISCF in high school. A Christian teacher encouraged her to study the Bible where she became convinced that Jesus is the only way to be right with God. Her relationship with Him deepened during four years at University. After marriage, Sandy and her husband Earle, joined a church plant in Canberra. She worked as a Public service researcher/speechwriter before becoming a full-time mother to four children. They spent two years as short-term missionaries on the central Philippine Island of Bohol, establishing a Christian school and lecturing in a bible college. Sandy & her husband still administer a sponsorship programme to pay teachers’ salaries and help poor children attend the school. Sandy has spoken at many women’s events and has recently become a KYB editor. She seeks to model a life of faith in Christ to her family, especially her 15 grandchildren. She enjoys gardening, reading, sewing and crocheting.
Elective Speaker for 2025
Magda Ackad
Magda was born in Alexandria, Egypt. She has called Australia home since 1980 when she married John. They have two children and ten grandchildren. For many years Magda was a bank manager and, in the early 2000s, she and John left their jobs and started working full time for the Lord. They represent MECO (Middle Eastern Christian Outreach) in NSW. They founded Disciples@Work, a strategic cross-cultural ministry and also chair Closer Ties, a ministry of Missions Interlink that brings together people who have a heart for Muslims.
Magda’s core message is for us all to know him and know that he is with us always (Matt 28:20). We are called to be his ambassadors 24/7 wherever he places us. (2 Cor 5:20-21)

Going Deeper with Rae
Manuscript Bible Study (one session only)
The "In-Depth Bible Study" elective invites women to dive deeper into the Word of God, exploring Scripture with a fresh perspective and a hunger for spiritual growth. This session is for those who want to move beyond surface-level reading and engage with the Bible in a transformative way. Together, we will unpack the rich truths of Scripture, study key passages, and discuss how God’s Word applies to our everyday lives.
02
Create & Chat
"Create & Chat" is an interactive and inspiring elective designed for women who want to explore their creativity while building meaningful connections with others. In a relaxed and encouraging environment, participants will engage in hands-on creative projects
04
Knit & Natter
"Knit & Natter" is a warm and welcoming elective perfect for women who enjoy knitting or crocheting—or those who simply want to learn! Bring your current project or start something new as we gather together for a time of relaxed crafting and heartfelt conversation.
As we knit, we’ll engage in meaningful discussions about faith, life, and how God works through the ordinary and creative moments of our day-to-day lives. This elective is a wonderful way to unwind, share experiences, and encourage one another, stitch by stitch.
05
Bushwalking (self-guided)
Experience the beauty of God’s creation firsthand with the "Bushwalking" elective, set amidst the stunning natural landscapes of The Tops Conference Centre at Stanwell Tops. This guided walk offers a chance to explore the serene bushland, breathe in the fresh air, and reflect on the Creator’s handiwork as we wander through scenic trails. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply looking to connect with God in the outdoors, this time of walking, reflection, and fellowship will refresh your spirit.
Along the way, we’ll take moments to pause, reflect on Scripture, and share thoughts on how nature reminds us of God’s greatness, provision, and care.
