We are back! I'm not even sure where to start. We had an incredible time in Australia.
There is so much hunger and passion among the youth and young adults in that country. Every city we encountered a generation that were giving themselves wholeheartedly to seek the Lord and cry out for revival. The future is bright in Australia. There are some great movements coming out of Australia - Hillsong, C3, and Planet Shakers to name just a few. God is doing amazing things there. We did two conferences - Brisbane and Melbourne, and we did two one night gatherings - The Gold Coast and Sydney.
I was so encouraged by the healings that happened at the conferences. Both in the services and on the streets we saw God show up and heal peoples physical bodies, encounter them with His love, and set them free. The young people were so bold even in the face of personal fear. Some of them were scared out of their mind to step out and ministry in the city but they stepped through their fear and saw people saved and healed. Great stories. We saw breakthrough in the meetings in scoliosis, acid reflux, asthma, sports related injuries, back injuries, dyslexia, and much more. Every year I go to Australia I fall in love with the people even more. In every city, God has put some of the most amazing leaders in place to lead the church. God released a cry for an outpouring of His Spirit in that nation. Young and old possessed with the mandate for revival. Cities saved, campuses impacted, and society transformed.
As always our team was incredible. Kim and Chris and the band just brought it! Scott and Jerry brought powerful words and the rest of the team that taught and worked on the events were amazing. We could not have done it without our friends in each city, Pastor Murray and Pastor Jim in Brisbane. Adam in Sydney. Nuno, Carl, and AJ in the Gold Coast. Pastor Peter, David, Conrad, Vicki, and Graham in Melbourne.
Jesus Culture Encounter is coming up. Can't wait to have Sergio Scataglini with us. It's going to be fire! Kim Walker Smith, Chris Quilala, Melissa How, Jake Hamilton, and Kristene Mueller will be leading worship. Kris Vallatton will be speaking. As will I. See you there.
