PS08 Melbourne

So, Conference 2008 is now over!!

It was a totally MASSIVE event!!!

So let's see how we can summarise what happened ...

Tuesday
I headed off to Vodafone at about 12.00 p.m. to help with registration set up. We managed to get all the bags filled and desk set up pretty quickly which was great.
The volunteers meeting happened at 5.00 p.m. and it was phenomenal ... you could tell that we couldn't wait for the next day to roll around.
After briefly meeting with the guest services team, we separated and went our own ways for what was most likely the last night of having an early night!

Wednesday
Well conference was finally here. I was helping with registrations from 10.00 a.m. and pretty much went straight through until 4.00 p.m. At 4.00 p.m. I headed down to the Guest Services room as the team leaders & assistants got together and we had our meeting.
We then met with the ushers at 5.30 p.m. and realised that this was it, the start of Conference 08!!!!!
I was very blessed to have the most AMAZING group of ushers. We made the back section totally pump! We prayed beforehand and totally focussed on what we needed to do!!
Ps Russell spoke for the opening night and it set the platform for the remaining sessions of Melb 08! We were pretty full in the back section so it was quite exciting to see how the remaining nights would go!

Thursday
Ah, the first day sessions unfolded and again, the atmosphere was awesome. Jurgen & Judah spoke and they were HILARIOUS! Will need to re look over my notes to make sure I note down what they spoke about. My next entry will have more details!
We launched Planetshakers Revolution - a total new thing which is so cool! During electives, all the ushers had to go down and pack all the bags for the Planetshakers Revolution - we got it done pretty quickly which was great.
I then rushed (LITERALLY!) to Jeans West in Swanston Street and bought my new shorts - wearing a skirt in a fairly hot day was not really a smart move :p
Thursday evening was great ... another awesome showing of His Holy Spirit moving!

Friday
Oh my goodness ... half way through conference. Today again a very hot day but the Holy Spirit was also totally on fire and moving through the conference.
In the afternoon, Guest Services were on foyer duty. Each team were allocated an hour block, my team had the first hour ... and because the service went over, we only did about 40 mins ... he he. After our shift, I headed into the city and did my shopping and bought my stuff for my team. I didn't do too bad and even made it back to Vodafone in time to do my hair and get ready for the night service.
Tonight was Reggie Dabbs and our back section was BURSTING with people!!! The whole stadium was pretty full which was great. At the end of the night I counted up how many seats were in my section ... approx 1600!!! My team totally rocks!
A lady dropped her only house key inbetween the top level metal planks but after much manipulating ... the vodafone staff were able to retrieve the key and I was able to return it to the owner.
Another day on relying on Him and being amazed at what He's doing!!!

Saturday
This is it, the last night! The day was truly great. I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to serve at conference and that I was able to hear from phenomenal speakers - Ps Sam, Ps Russell, Judah Smith, Reggie Dabbs and Jurgen Matthesius.

I will so fill in the details next time
