Hillsong United in T-Minus 5 hours...


As I`ve mentioned in a few posts, I`m a massive Hillsong fan. Not just a fan as in like them, a fan as in ADORE them.

We attend Hillsong Church Cape Town and it has certainly turned into our spiritual home. We have the most awesome pastor, an Aussie by the name of Phil Dooley. He is both funny, charming and an awesome man of God.

I own just about every Hillsong cd and dvd and live for each new one. I`m just a fanatic.It has always been one of my dreams to go to Hillsong Sydney and be a part of one of their worship nights. I have lived many a worship night with Hillsong by watching their dvd`s over and over again. I`m a fanatic.


So tonight is the realisation of one of my dreams. Hillsong United are in town and Hayley and I will be attending the worship night tonight. This is truly a momentous day for me. It`s one of those dreams that rank alongside going to Old Trafford or Fenway Park. It`s BIG. I am like a little kid checking the clock. Why doesn`t the time go quicker?

Sunday we have a service with Pastor Brian Houston (Head of Hillsong) at Ratanga Junction. This is gonna be awesome because Ratanga Junction is a theme park in Cape Town. How cool is that gonna be?
We will also see our friends tomorrow because it`s Graham`s wedding. For a change everybody is coming to Cape Town for a wedding! So, fair warning, there will not be updates until at least Sunday evening!

I am so excited, it`s gonna be an awesome, awesome weekend!

Oooooh, that sounds so exciting!!! Wow. Want to hear all about it when you've come down off your high (heh heh) - does your pastor have a son and a daughter who goes to a church in Durban? Cause we've had a couple of dooley's around :)

Well, enjoy the worship!! And have a great weekend all around..

Would you believe that my brother got invited to go to Sydney and play drums with Hillsong?! Crazy! But he is only 17 and MOM doesnt want him traveling to Australia by himself. Maybe when he's older...

Very cool that they are coming to your church! Have a great time!

Wow! That is fantastic.

I really dig Hillsong Church and their music. Pastor Brian Houston is a good man.

As for their CD's and DVD's: I am right their with you, Francois. We own all of them and love them. There is not a day that goes by when we are not playing a CD or DVD. Also, my Ipod is stuffed with Hillsong too.

I hope you have a wonderful time of worship.

Our God truly is worthy of worship, isn't He?!

Excited for you - have fun. It is always cool when big, anticipated experiences come about.

Weddings can be cool - hopefully yours is.

Hey guys! Thanks for the comments. I will do a post a bit later and tell you all about it. It was amazing though, absolutely amazing.

Nessie, Pastor Phil`s kids are very young, not in school yet.

Heather, how awesome is that? Speak to your mom and tell her to let you brother go, it`s an opportunity of a lifetime!
