And it was another great Hillsong Colour Conference, not at the Royal Albert Hall which I'd very much prefer, but at the Wembley Arena this year. I've long heard of Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena so was glad to "check it out", but oh man, I soon realised how far it is from my home (more than an hour to get there).
Anyways main thing is not the venue but the conference itself! This year Bobbie Houston the host stepped up in faith and chose this bigger venue from ROH, and there were more than 4,000 ladies who attended the 2.5 day conference. Can you imagine the level of screams and shrieks that we could potentially generate? I think it could bring the roof down.
Guest speakers included Lisa Bevere, Jeanne Mayo, my fav Judah Smith, and Bobbie Houston herself. I've never heard Lisa or Jeanne speak before so it was all new to me. Judah however, I heard him at last year's conference, wow he is one amazing preacher. He is young, trendy, dresses so well (loves shopping can u imagine), humourous, and above all, a solid preacher after God's heart. He spoke a powerful message that I had to run out to grab the CD afterwards coz I just had to listen to it again.
As usual, we were spoilt by all the guys serving. Yes men serving the ladies for this event :) They lined the way all the way from Wembley Park station to the arena and greeted us with big smiles; they opened the doors for us; made us all feel so welcomed. During breaks while we sit out in the sun with our food, they walked around asking for rubbish so they could help throw away for us. How pampered were we! And then of course on the finale night, we were presented with a big fat beautiful rose - all thorns removed!! Jesus bless all these amazing guy servers!
This year, I hanged out with Gabby, Phillipa and a few other girls from my connect.
During breaks, there was a Pamper Zone set up outside with tables covered with pretty Cath Kidston table cloth, and bottles and bottles of nail polish. Girls serving were doing hand massages and painting nails. For some (weird) reason, we spotted an empty table on the second evening and Gabby volunteered to do my nails in this super nice purplish pink. Super like. Milky colours are in fashion here and I promised myself I will hunt this colour down after the conference hehe.
All the effort put in by the whole Hillsong team was commendable as usual.
