GYO

The greatest conference of all time! The youth were so on fire,the worship was intense and lives were ultimately changed forever....what else could you ask for??

The conference consisted of worship each morning, lectures and seminars all aimed at helping the youth understand their calling and purpose in the kingdom of God. We had an amazing time together praising God with our Hawaiian and Samoan musicians from Perth. Our international dance team performed powerful hula and tribal New Zealand dances and everyone had fun. We also saw many salvat.ions and lives changed at the realization of what J-esus did for them. I learned a lot as well and was so blessed by how much God showed up and how the spirit moved throughout the four days. On the fourth day we went out for the "Day of Compassion," in which we lead teams of students into the slum areas and to bring love and practical aid to the people. The students really stepped it up and there were salvat.ions and healin.gs!! My team went into a mostly Musli.m area and met some wonderful people. We met a woman who had 34 grand children and 14 great grandchildren! She lived in a home with four families and she herself cared for 5 of the children because their mother had died. We were invited into her home and we played games with the children and had a lot of fun! At the end, we were able to pray for her and she squeezed my hand very hard the entire prayer. Even though I believe she was Musli.m she knew I was Chri.stian and still invited me back. We took alot of pictures and I said that I would love to visit again. We were also able to pray for babies and just create relationship within that slum. It was a real learning time for the students to see that they can be used in their community to reach out and change their nation! It was beautiful and we had a time of celebration that night with everyone. (there were about 1500 people at the conference.)
