Hi, my name is Jenn and I was at PASSION Sydney on Tuesday night. Unfortunately I left a little early, and I just heard on the PASSION podcast what you said at PASSION conference. In your words: "I know that ummm there are probably no podcast listeners down under..." Well guess what. There is! I have been listening since you first started the world tour when I stumbled upon it as I was going through iTunes. I have also referred a few of my friends to it as well. So in response to "there are probably none down under" THERE IS AND WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! ;) LOTI (Laughing On The Inside) I also just wanted you to know that PASSION Sydney was incredible. I was challenged by your talk (I love how you explained that we had to be CRAZY for God, but also in our right minds so as not to scare our non-Christian friends at first. We can go crazy later once they know us) The worship also really challenged me. I drew deeply into God, in a way that I don't usually and I felt God speaking to my heart. Thank you for listening to God's call, traveling around the world and back, and especially for coming down under, sharing your great message. You and your team are truly glorifying God with you message and you are an inspiration to many. God Bless, and please come back soon. Lots of love and blessings, Jenn :) Hey Louie!

This so surreal, I remember clearly the day we bought the One Day 2000 DVD, never in our wildest imagination that you guys were actually here in KL. Seeds are planted, lives are changed forever, Jesus is famous !! I'm so glad and thankful that you came. God Bless I must say, I’m reading this with goosebumps on my hand and sweat on my palm.

I was praying that God would bring things together for you to come. You have a good memory as well. Used to live in Houston, but now in Ohio. God is just ... COOL! He does things that meets us where we are and turns our face to Him. May God use you richly to spread His fame both in Manly and in future places. We're headed back to the states today. If you'd like to stay in touch, we can connect on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Brian_Park/650699040. Warm Sydney blessings to you. - Brian Callie Y,

What an amazing event Passion Sydney was!! Was SO stoked I could fly over from New Zealand to be there for it! It's been just on 3 days now since Passion Sydney and I still have the strains of 'Greater things have yet to come, and greater things will be done in this city...' running through my head :D I am praying that all over uni campuses and cities in Australia, New Zealand and all around the world, that Christ would shine bright through Christian students being shining lights for God! What a way for that to be kicked off through the Passion World Tour! :) And the future world tours! Louie, Shelley, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Christy Nockels and every band member and crew member of the Passion team and all the 'behind-the-scenes' staff that gave up time & effort to see this World Tour come together in 17 cities around the world and impact countless lives - THANK YOU!! :) I really loved, Louie, how you got us to form those 'prayer triangles' early on in the night - such a great way to connect with God and put him at the centre of the whole night as well as being able to pray with fellow Christians. I prayed with 2 other German guys, it was great! Especially found it powerful how we started singing 'God of this City' with images of Sydney on the screen just after we'd prayed for the city... wow, that was awesome!! Thanks also for sharing with us Ashley's powerful story/testimony! How cool that her non-Christian dad would allow her testimony to be used as a shining light all around the world, just as she would have loved it! Will pray that God will continue to draw her dad closer to Himself :) Louie, your message on 2 Cor 5:21 was so encouraging and really challenging! I am personally challenged to make sure I daily remind myself of the gospel and to really SEE it, as you said, in High Definition and just be in absolute WONDER of GRACE! :) The rest of the worship time was so cool singing & dancing our hearts out, all 8,000 of us, to songs like 'Sing, Sing Sing', 'Mighty to Save' (every time i sing/play/listen to this now I will always be reminded of Ashley's story!!), Jesus Messiah, Here I Am to Worship, O Praise Him, Here is Our King, I Saw the Light, You Are My Joy, No One Like You etc etc... oh and singing Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) in acapella at one point!!! I took a lot of 'mental snapshots' all night at Passion Sydney and it will forever remain in my memory as one of the best conferences I have ever been to! Please come back again soon! All glory to you God, the light of the world! Greater things are yet to come... Priscilla (Auckland, New Zealand) P.S. I'm still wearing my Passion armband too, and will be for a long while yet! :) WOW! What an amazing event Passion Sydney was!! Was SO stoked I could fly over from New Zealand to be there for it!

There is definately an awakening in our country to reach out more to others and share the love of Jesus,to be less ourselves and more like Him, to die each day in ourselves. Please don't forget us Louis - we need to be in touch throughout the world with this blog page,knowing we His children actually stand hand-in-hand with prayers and praise and encirlce the globe for His renown. Be blessed and filled to overflow with love for others. Remembering the first time I watched the Oneday2000 – I also hoped we could experinece something like that here in Jhb and boy did we !!

What a night!! I was a volunteer and loved every minute of it. I would do it again in a flash. Just to see all those "crazy for Jesus" faces coming towards us at the door holding up their wrist bands and charging in to get the best seats, was such a blast. Knowing that two of my daughters and 30 other young people from my church were singing and praising their lungs out to their King made me very happy. Chris and band, you were amazing and Crowder, well man he's just unbelievable. Love his worship and am looking forward to the band coming to Australia in January. I will cut off my wrist band tomorrow but will keep it as a momento of a fabulous night praising the Lord with 8,000 other lovers of God. Also a big hello to Angie and Selly if they get onto the blog. They were the two ladies that I had the priviledge to pray with when we broke into three's. What beautiful hearts for the Lord you two have. Loved meeting you. Greater things are yet to come and I'll keep sing, sing, singing and lifting up the glorious name of Jesus across this city.
