Passion Twenty Ten Awakening

To be frank, I wasn't very excited for Passion 2010 despite the fact of the excitement I had since I registered for it. Even though I know that there will be awesome speakers and bands during the entire conference, but i guess I was too tired after my New Orleans mission trip. Maybe it wasn't a good choice to have an event right after another. Despite all that, I still learned a lot of stuff.

And I wrote this:

The entire conference had more than 22,000 students and 11,000 volunteers from around the US and world! It was just so amazing getting to be part of this movement and worshiping together.

Even though everyone was psyched to meet Hillsong United at one of the late night concert, the band was very humble about their popularity. It was great that people were really focusing their heart and attention on God instead of the band.

Francis Chan, one of the speaker at the conference, is a pastor in California. I would say he's one of the most anointed and gifted speaker and servant of God. His book, Crazy Love, is really popular here as it talks about things that are convicting to us and the dire situation of Christians nowadays.

His message on Holy Suffering really struck me. He spoke about the life of Paul and his anguish for the lost and suffering for the sake of the gospel. Paul cared and loved the Gentiles so much that he desired to switch places with them just so that they would know Christ. As I think about it, will I be willing to sacrifice my salvation for thousands of unsaved people just so that they may know God and go to heaven while I replace them in hell?

Family Group. We shared so much with each other and prayed fervently for each others problem. Thanks guys!

Jeremy Cowart, the photographer for Passion World Tour which took place in 2009 compiled his photos from the 17 countries that Passion took place. I bought it because half of my face is in the Malaysia section. Pretty awesome huh?!

Despite my weariness from the lack of sleep, I still enjoyed this conference and never regretted attending it. I would say that I'm very much closer to God than before. I learned and am still learning to be anguish for Christ and accept every challenge as an opportunity to grow closer to God. I'm praying for all of you out there! yes, all of you!
