| Planetshakers ticket band |
This week, I spent my time attending the annual Planetshakers Awakening Conference! I have always wanted to participate in Planetshakers' events, and I finally had the time to attend this year's conference :)
In case you don’t know, Planetshakers is an
adults and youth movement that began as an annual conference and grew into a
ministry and church in Melbourne, Australia. Planetshakers
revolves around empowering a generation to win other generations. The Planetshakers band is an Australian rock and worship
band, a part of Planetshakers's ministry. Their music is a contemporary style
of praise and worship tempered with mainstream rock and pop.
On the first night rally on Friday, many people from different churches in Malaysia and other countries around the world gathered together in DUMC church to worship God with the Planetshakers band. As we were singing, I could feel the Holy Spirit really working its way to touch us through the lyrics. We jumped, danced, cheered, and praised the Lord, and I'll never forget that wonderful feeling I had during worship.

On the second day, I didn't attend the Pastors and Leaders' session as I didn't purchase the Gold ticket. My Silver ticket only included the breakout sessions and priority seating. So I went for the night rally, and again, the whole church was filled with God's people worshipping Him and praising Him for His greatness.
Pastor Sam Evans was preaching later that night, and she was talking that our God was named Emmanuel (meaning God with us), and He'll never leave nor forsake us all. I was touched by her sermon, and many people were healed and saved on that very night.

On the last day of Planetshakers' Conference, I attended their morning rally, their breakout sessions, and the night rally as well. During the breakout session, I went for the Vocals class conducted by the great singer in the Planetshakers band -- Chelsi Nikkerud. I have learned so much from her, such as the right techniques used to sing, and the proper attitude and posture during worship. I wish I could get a picture with Chelsi, but sadly there was no chance :(
Overall, I really enjoyed these three days. I have never felt the Holy Spirit filling the place so greatly that all of us were so committed we jumped and cheered and cried for the Lord. The sermons from Pastor Russell Evans, Sam Evans, Rudy Nikkerud, and Neil Smith were all filled with the Lord's fire, and the fire was bursting out for us to help the nation, and bring a difference into the generation. God is really good.
