why, you ask?
why take all the trouble going to somewhere far away, with little knowledge of how to reach there in one piece for a church service? and there's combined youth service back here in Revival Centre?
two words: PLANET SHAKERS.
yes, the band who came out with albums like PHENOMENA, OPENTH UP THE GATES, REFLECTOR, RAIN DOWN and other cool albums! this group came all the way from Australia, and they really rock!
anyway, both of us were set to go to HSG. a *map*, a blue Kancil and a bottle of water, we were set to go to somewhere-we-have-been-before-by-ourselves. was it hard? well, by faith, a few wrong turns and a couple of calls to Sharon, we finally reached there in one peace.
was it good? yeah! they ROCKED! but frankly, any group can play as good, if not better, than them. but what sets them apart?
THEIR FAITH, and who they are playing for. the concert held was not to promote themselves, or to show off they talents and skills, but to sue them to serve God, and His people. to make full use of the gifts blessed unto them for His glory. they did it all, for HIM. and after the music session, was the talk about breaking down the walls, the Walls of Jericho (Joshua 6). and that's why they ROCKED!
and there, i got to meet again friends like Joanne, i have not seen for awhile, Sharon , who came to Revival Centre the Sunday before, Stephen, who was in our youth meeting the Firday before, Fionna, Ronald, Ivy, Michelle and Rueben! not to forget Agnes, who was introduced to us while makaning supper (i CAN'T REMEMBER THE PLACE!) it was great meeting up with them.
so, was it worth skipping our own youth meeting to attend a concert. this was worthwhile. at least, i wasn't just lazing around, watching the TV....
*Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Here in Your presence I am free
Pour down like rain
Come and touch me again
Lord let Your presence fall on me*

Love & Peace!~
