Hillsong Womens' Colour Conference : 15-17 March 2007

What an absolutely fantastic Colour Conference ... it was held in the Acer Arena, Homebush for the first time ever and there were over 17,000 women there!! Phenomenal ... the worship was ... well ... mind blowing really ... and the speakers were inspiring and challenging and funny!! We laughed, we cried, we worshiped, we prayed, we had great fellowship ... we even got pampered ... nails, massages, hair, makeup ... and we bought lots of great resources to help us more forward!

The main theme for 2007 was ... Imagine ... a REVOLUTION in Value!!



There was also a lot of LOVE going around ... Sister's, it is our time to unite ... for God and love the world into God's kingdom!



There was a big emphasis on "Sisterhood" this year where we could sponsor children through Compassion - over 1,100 kids were sponsored which was amazing and nearly 800 Boxes were filled for Operation Christmas Child to go to kids in Cambodia.



We were also challenged by the moving and emotionally charged documentary on the "Invisible Children" of Northern Uganda who have been caught up in the horrendous civil war and who are daily abducted by the "LRA" - Lord's Resistance Army who then turn them into child soldiers and ruthless killers! We heard from Marilyn Skinner, the founder of Watoto Children's Orphanage (see my previous entry about the Watoto Children's Choir who visited St Matts last year)
