[Kid Inspiration]

The above photo is a screen shot from the video footage taken at Kidsong World. I did not take ANY photos at all this year… This is one of the night rallies in the Acer Arena. I am smack bang in the middle under the God’s Army Banner. Yeah thats it, the flesh coloured blob.

Well we had a spectacular conference over two thousand kids ranging from 3 years old to year 5 at school (age 10-11). If you can’t imagine what that looks like… the average VBS runs from about 9 till midday for five days… Kidsong World runs from 8:00am until 3:30pm for four days… and then we run ten night rallies… two per night of the conference! (Don’t forget the weekend services that happen on either side of the conference either, 7 in our city campus alone!)

So my hat is firmly off to the more than 400 hundred full-time and part-time volunteers that make this thing happen! And the week was the BEST running EVER by a huge margin.

Apart from the fact that this was the smoothest running conference ever, God did some amazing things in kids lives this year - lot’s of testimonies and kids thanking God for doing great things in their lives and their families lives.

We have a thing we call ‘Ask God’ and ‘Thank God’s’ in every rally we do. The kids write down, before the program starts, anything they want to thank or ask God for. Then we pray over them during the rally and follow-up as necessary. Well an interesting theme this year was the amount of times kids wanted us to pray that: 1. Their parents would stop fighting, or get back together if they were divorced, and 2. That parents or relatives would stop smoking.

I don’t know if it was because I kept talking about it from the front and that bought more of those prayer requests out, but kids were seriously asking for answers to serious situations!

I will post some of the awesome thank God’s when I get them from the office, I am writing this with Brooklyn (now five months old) sitting on my lap smearing baby saliva over any part of me he can reach. And trying to have a conversation with a pen he is holding (predominately in his mouth).

So adieu, good night, I bid thee a fond farewell.
