APRIL 2008 - SINGAPORE/MALAYSIA TOUR

Working with Alpha UK/Asia, and Tim Hughes and his band was an incredible blessing, it was great to see many different organizations coming together for the Cause of Christ. Two nights saw over 7000 people per night packed into the Singapore Expo Arena, then we spent 2 nights in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

 

 

Everyone was hungry to encounter the presence of God, and God moved big time. There were some powerful moments in worship over these nights. It always blows me away how the presence of God totally brings down any cultural or language barriers and we all stand united in his presence!

 

 

SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS

-

Nearly not having our bass player Mark with us due to some delays leaving Australia! We had to rehearse and sound check all day without him, to have him arrive at the venue straight from the airport ready to go straight on stage!

 

-

The crowd being rockingly (is that a word?!!) passionate in their praise – particularly singing Majesty. On the last night in Singapore, the place was going nuts, there was such freedom and joy in praising God. The best bit was when Tim and his band crashed the stage and started praising like crazy with us! We saw some serious jumping action!!

 

-

A personal moment when on the first night in Singapore, I pulled a muscle in my back (ok, so I shouldn’t stretch wearing heels!!). It was spasming really badly, I was in terrible pain and didn’t know how I was going to go and praise in the physical freedom we Planetshakers need! Immediately the band surrounded me and together we prayed, joining in faith believing for God to heal my back. God is SO good – no kidding, within 10mins I was completely healed and able to go ahead in the freedom and liberty that Jesus has given us!! Yay!

 

-

Kuala Lumpur!  We joined with Alpha again to see thousands of passionate young Malaysian’s praise and worship Almighty God. We had a slightly crazy but entertaining autograph session afterwards! I love getting to meet, say hi and chat with everyone but this one was exceptional due to Henry’s beat-boxing, members of the crowd break dancing and Henry finishing it all off with a moving tambourine solo (and dance!!)!

City Church, Kuala Lumpur. There was this moment in worship where the Holy Spirit totally took over – we just threw out songs and worshipped. I know God brought a new level of worship in the church that night, we were all so touched by His power!

 

-

And of course participating in Asian “must dos”- great food (Satay, Curry, Roti and Naan), meeting great people and great shopping! All in all – we had a great trip!!
