out, the music came on and faith absolutely
filled the house.
It was an incredible three days - an experience
that must be had first hand! So, rather than give
you a play-by-play of the happenings at the
conference, I would like to share with you what
I took home: what I took home as an attendee,
a worship team member and a worship
team leader.
As an attendee, a worshipper and lover of
God, I was treated to three days of complete
immersion in an atmosphere of faith. For most
Christians, Sunday is the day. Sunday is the one
day a week that we are able to be completely
surrounded by like-minded and, perhaps
more importantly, like-hearted individuals. But
Hillsong Conference was an entirely different
story - the lobby of our hotel was filled with
fellow Christians that morning, so breakfast
was with fellow Christians. The walk to the
venue was with a huge group of Christians, so
we waited in line, conversed and shared stories
with fellow Christians. For three days in a row…
Despite not knowing anyone personally at first,
there was familiarity in the common foundation
upon which we all stood. Different stories and
backgrounds, but all walking with our same
God. The conversations wrapped up as the
lights fell, and as soon as the music began,
everyone’s hands went up. There was never
an announcement or suggestion to do so -
