Countdown To Hong Kong!
Night is falling across the Americas, but it’s a beautiful new day here in HK and the city is buzzing as it has a tendency to do most of the day and night. We are just a few hours away from Passion Hong Kong, and when you stop and think about it, that’s really Passion China…and we couldn’t be happier. Tonight will be filled with students from HK and the mainland as well, many who have never in their lives heard the Story we are carrying. It’s good to know you guys around the world are praying like crazy, and believing with us for a movement of the Spirit in this city tonight.
Speaking of praying, we are LOVING the link between cities, and even though this sign did not appear at the Tokyo event it was sent to us later in the hopes of communicating love for those coming to HK tonight. I know it represents not only Passion Tokyo, but countless others around the globe. Though it’s close to noon here, and approaching midnight back home, our 15 stops have scattered this World Tour journey into so many time zones your prayers (and comments) really never cease day and night. That, my friends is pretty cool, and what the Kingdom we are a part of is all about!

I can’t wait to hear how God would move in HK! I even planned to have a short trip to HK just to attend yet another Passion conference, but many souls there need it more than me. And yeah I’ve heard that the tix are sold out already.
Im excited that more souls would stand for His renown!
And yeah, im also overwhelmed how cities are connected through Him. Thanks to Passion and to the ABOVE ALMIGHTY who have and will always be with you though this world tour is coming to a close…
Prayers across the globe are with you…

Hey Passion Team!
How cool is that – WT stop in China! Praise the Lord! :D
It’s 1:15 a.m. here in Texas and I’ve been counting down the hours till Passion Honk Kong!
Earlier today I looked up (on Google!) where ya’ll will be holding Passion HK and checked out the time difference!
(So it ended up that I got to pray you guys were getting a good nights sleep!) (It was 1:30ish a.m. there!)
Anyways…I can hardly wait to hear/see what God has in store for HK!
I’ll be praying for all of you there at Passion HK as I go to sleep tonight!
much love and many prayers
Karahly :)
P.S. I really enjoyed all the videos clips on myspace of the different cities and I’ve also enjoyed the last few podcast as well! Thanks again… :)

Hi there!
You’re right, Louie, about the time zone differences and people leaving comments at all hours of the day and night. It’s a little after 2:30 a.m. here in TN and I was just heading off to bed (yes, I’m a “night owl”!) when I thought I’d check to see if any new blog had been posted. Thanks for keeping us updated on all that is happening even before the “main” event. The Lord has opened so many doors for you all on this tour, and like you said, Hong Kong=China!! I pray for many seeds to be planted in people’s hearts there today, seeds that will grow into a mighty harvest of souls for the Kingdom. People there desperately need to hear about the freedom, hope, and rescue that can only be found in Jesus Christ. Thank you all for going into the dark places of this world to tell people about the Savior. I know all your hard work and sacrifices will be greatly rewarded. Can’t wait to read the next blog! God bless you all!!!!! :)

AMEN Louie.

God Bless HK, China! I’m thrilled that Passion is going to Hong Kong. I was born there and I’ve already told my relatives still living there to attend this event! Our prayers are with the people there and your Passion team, Louie!
And Louie if you do read this, can you please drop me a line at peterwan0987 at hotmail dot com? I got some Passion event questions I’d like to ask you after attending the event in Vancouver…
Anyway continue to do good Kingdom work!

As one of the volunteers in Tokyo PASSION I was moved beyond words. The music set my feet and soul to dancing. The balcony was even moving w/everyone’s energy! I will definately pray for the people of Tokyo, Hong Kong and beyond. Ashley’s story has had me very emotional. It’s unfortunate she couldn’t witness on earth longer, especially to her father. God’s purpose is not for us to judge, If her story being told through you and PASSION brings more people to Christ pass the ice cream! God Bless You and the whole team!
October 16th, 2008 at 4:18 AM
Oh wow….
Dear uncle Louie and passion members
Thank you so much for taking it with you all.
I didn’t expect it to be posted like this though! I was wondering if it was recied or not. Because of the Spam system, however God is good all the time. And Love never fails!!
I will be praying that Jesus will become MORE famous in Hong Kong from tonight!!
Passion Tokyo really started when we went home. Since then by the power of God, I could start sharing good news with my classmates!! Little step but nothing wasting for GOD!!!! I encourage everybody who read this commet to start sharing!! They need to hear His Grace!!

VANCOUVER LOVES YOU AND GOD LOVES YOU HONG KONG!!!
Though I won’t be awake for passion Hong Kong (it will be 4:30am here when it starts). I will pray for passion before I sleep and right when I wake up I will pray for Hong Kong. I pray that you guys will be able to show the people in Hong Kong what it is like to watch HDTV! This is so exciting! How the whole world is being united in prayer for a city!! I can’t wait for Sydney! Greater things are still to be done in this world :)
Love and Blessing from Vancouver!

October 16th, 2008 at 4:42 AM
oh.. it’s when i’m not there that Passion is gonna be in HK. at least i got to be in vancouver, but it’s not the same, because HK is my home. hope it all goes well.
October 16th, 2008 at 4:48 AM
Wow, finally Passion HK is happening. Amazing. You’re in Sam Lu’s country!! whooo. God is so great and that you are able to be in China right now, I mean CHINA! is just one of His great ways!!!
The words “Greater things are yet to come” are so accurate for HK and definitely for China in general. I believe greater things are going to happen in China.
It’s sad in a way that the tour is almost to an end. Still Passion Sydney to go. A few of my Dutch friends who study abroad are going to attend Passion Sydney, they never heard of it but I convinced them ;-)
Praying from The Netherlands. Take care!!

Praying for HONG KONG!
GOD loves you!
Go Team!!!
October 16th, 2008 at 5:43 AM
Whooohooo!!! I have absolutely no idea what the time difference is between Jozi and HK but that’s cool thinking that everybody is praying at all times for HK and all the other cities. May this prayer cover never cease, may we all be moved to keep on carring our brothers and siters from everywhere in prayer and especially the lost.
I couldn’t agree more with Akihrio we need to share, that is our great commission that Jesus has given us to reach out to the lost. I see the Body of Christ rising up all across this globe and it is marvelous!! Look what God is doing and be moved.
God Bless!

PS. Got the new Chris Tomlin CD as a gift, WOW what a blessing and ministry to my soul, keep it up guys!

women ai nimen
we love ya’ll :)
may god truly bless the people of hong kong today. you guys are doing a marvelous job and i’m in tears just thinking about how much god really loves his people. passion in georgia & passion in boston were amazing, i can’t even fathom how much god is doing and has been doing all around this world. thanks for the pictures & videos, they make your blogs into reality.
i was wondering if you guys were going to sell dvds from each world tour location. if you’re not doing so, i really encourage you guys to do so. i really feel that being able to watch those sermons and worship sessions will be such an amazing experience as well as an encouragement to those who were not able to attend. it would also spark a flame for people who don’t even know about those countries to develop a heart for them and pray for them. t-shirts would also be REALLY cool but i know that you guys are really busy :P
god bless you all and hope that hong kong is able to experience a BEAUTIFUL DAY in jesus christ :)

HK, China..Our God made and alreay knew each of them by name..
and He let us get into this Kindom of God through Passion.
i’m hoping and praying that you guys get short but deep sleep..!
Praising God who will be there as Savoir King when HK, Passion, and the globe worship, pray, think, rejoice.

I’ve been praying every day of the third leg of the tour and of course, I’m praying for China!!!! it’s an increadible breakthrough and God will do great things…

하나님의 깊은 임재하심과..
놀라운 능력이 홍콩안에 중국안에 가득했으리라 믿습니다~!!
할렐루야~
God blees you~!
October 16th, 2008 at 11:40 PM
I was watching the videos on the Passion myspace page… it’s just so amazing that God has allowed all this to happen… I mean, we in the US take these things for granted here in the US, but for people our age and younger to experience this for the first time (and hopefully not the last, but of course they will once He returns!)…
I just get goose bumps- but I think it’s just the Holy Spirit reaffirming what God has in store for the lives around me and my own…
2 stops… still praying…
keep us updated! :)
October 17th, 2008 at 10:29 PM
It was such an incredible night! Flying in from KL, Malaysia to attend Passion HK was worth it. I’ve yet caught another perspective of “grace”. Just like what you said Louie…i’m finally watching HD TV on “grace”. It’s awesome Louie. I’m so so glad I was there. Your msg was clear & precise. I like your analogy of HD TV. :) Thanks Louie & team. You guys are wonderful in your ways of bringing out the goodness of God matter which ministry you’re in. Jeremy..you brought beautiful sights of God’s creation in different continents. i enjoy looking at every photo that you took. Thanks!
Jim… thanks for your wonderful spirit.. so warm and friendly…while speaking to us in that looonggg queue….
and of coz..Chris Tomlin for your beautiful song for Jesus. Holy Spirit has definitely use your song to move in my heart. ALWAYS!!!
Lastly HK, God loves you. It doesn’t matter where we’re from but we are definitely to see mighty God doing great things in every city..and that include yours! I’m looking forward for God’s next step and continue praying for us all to NOT miss His timing. We only live ONCE.Let’s do something for Jesus now!

It is so exciting that Passion Sydney is only two days away. Though thunderstorms are predicted for Tuesday. Let’s continue to all pray very hard for Sydney, for a strong turnout and an outpouring of God’s love to all our hearts, as I am!
