首晚的聚会由澳大利亚著名的女歌唱家Marina Prior独唱揭开序幕，加上管弦乐团和Hillsong敬拜团的伴奏，引起全场热烈的回响。三万名会众在激昂的敬拜音乐之下，欢呼喝彩跳舞。应邀作主礼嘉宾的澳大利亚财政部长The Hon. Peter Costello MP致词时表示：“我从来没有见过如此热情和投入的会众，Hillsong的音乐在我们的国家成为很多人的鼓励。“

除了Hillsong的主任牧师Brian Hous-ton和敬拜主领Darlene Zschech外，大会还邀请了来自美国的著名电视布道家Joyce Meyer，Free Chapel Worship Centre的主任牧师Jentezen Franklin，和来自英国的Paul Scanlon牧师等担任讲员。此外，还有Soul Survivor的Tim Hughes，来自新西兰的The Parachute Band，及来自纽约的黑人舞蹈团The Nubian Gents等同台服事。

Joyce Meyer在会中挑战青年人要对个人的呼召负责，即使责任会带来痛苦或困难。“若我们要得胜，就要学习超越我们的感受…我相信神要提升我们到一个新的层面，承担更高层次的责任。“Joyce表示，很多人因为逃避责任和困难，而停留在“旷野“当中。他说：“我今年已经六十二岁了，但透过电视，我仍每星期五天向超过20亿人讲道，覆盖世界三分之二的国家，只要我们肯负责任，神仍然会使用我们，?的呼召永远不会来得太晚。“

这次具规模的国际性会议，一连五天，分为成人、青少年和儿童三部份进行。专题讲座于日间举行，题目包括：教牧训练、青少年及儿童事工训练、查经领袖训练、圣灵恩赐服事、敬拜领袖训练、乐器演奏、合唱、舞蹈、话剧、布道、影音等等，有部份的参加者形容其规模和样式之多好象一所“属灵的大学“。

Hillsong Conference已确定的讲员包括Joyce Meyer、John Maxwell，及布道家布永康等。

Hillsong一年一度的大型聚会于7月4日傍晚点5时在奥林匹克公园的圆顶大会堂举行，在音乐、录像和舞蹈题材共鸣的力量中，带出了连续五天的大会主题“STRENGTH“，并宣告“我们的上帝是令人敬畏的上帝“。

大会由一位踢踏舞的舞蹈家“踢“出Hillsong教会载歌载舞敬拜神的特色，随后由二百位舞蹈家以舞蹈带动了全场的气氛。这次别开生面的聚会吸引了超过2万8,000人的参与，其中有80个来自不同国家的代表，不同的年龄层，还有政治界的人物。

新南威尔士州的Bob・Carr 总理于下午五点到达现场，他说“这强大的聚会把奥林匹克圆顶大会堂变成了大教堂。“随后，他鼓励在场多国的代表说：“责任来自权力……我们每个人都有自己的责任，而这个教会提醒了我们需要有强大的社区和家庭。“

在介绍夜的第一个讲话之前，Hillsong的资深牧师Brian Houston提醒众人说：“这不是一间教会而已，她是关于整体的教会。“

晚上7时半， Hon. Peter Costello财务官到达，他说：“我希望您能在生活中发现上帝的力量，因为这是我们的社会和国家的力量。“他又继续说，他感到这个会议对澳大利亚和各国是一个很大的祝福。

接下来有John Maxwell牧师的讲话，他讲到永垂千古的领袖耶稣，他在短短的三年里，影响到比哲学家阿里士多德更多的人。然后他又提到我们可在耶稣身上学到的领导能力：愿当仆人的心、生命的重点、关系和团队精神。最后他说：“像耶稣基督经常在马太福音说的，我们应该把注意力放到今天的生活里。“第一天的聚会以John Maxwell牧师的祷告结束。

7月4至8日，“STRENGTH“将继续于每天晚上5时至7时半，在奥林匹克公园的圆顶大会堂进行。

第一部分和第二部分是重中之重之第三部分的铺垫和序曲，为什么呢？

环游世界让我们有机会领略世界上最令人叫绝的奇景，也有机会和众多无法一一列举的名流志士相聚...我们经历了美丽人性的多样性；散布在不同国度---不同文化，面临各异挑战的不同环境中的人类... 可是所有的差异中，有一种东西是不变的。人还是人... 我们对于真理和信仰的需求是一致的。不管他们有没有意识到被创造出来的目的就是敬仰他们的造物主这个事实，地理，伦理，社会阶层还有生存背景都不重要了...不再沉思...在我们环游的过程中，令人惊叹的是，在这个星球上，不管我们置身何处，我们发现充满热情的人们无一例外地效忠于这个终极… “一次心路革命”的第一部分和第二部分就是这些人们的声息并且讲述这个故事…

第一部分 万众一心　2008年3月发布

PART ONE/// WITH HEARTS AS ONE..

Coming March 2008...

从卢旺达到开普敦，布宜诺斯艾利斯(阿根廷首都)飞到墨西哥城，洛杉矶到多伦多，伦敦到布达佩斯，上海到悉尼...过去的两年里，我们录制了几乎所有合众崇拜仪式...集中了其中一些场合然后整理给那些愿意欣赏的人们...最终汇聚成唱响全世界的一代赞美神的崇拜...各国的声息在同一首歌凝聚...

From rwanda to capetown, buenos aires to mexico city, los angeles to toronto, london to budapest.. shanghai to sydney.. We've recorded almost every united worship service for the last 2 years.. Bottled just some of the moments and put them together for all who'd choose to hear.. The end result is the sound of a generation across the earth singing praise and worship to our God.. The sound of the nations joining as one in the same song..

我们将这些新旧歌曲录制了双碟专辑，我不得不说，它是关于人类以及他们崇拜神的激情...它很生动...偶或有些粗糙，但那正是它的魅力所在---它不是关于“聚”甚至也不是歌曲...它是吸引他们造物主的一代心声...

关于和睦有些特别的东西...音乐可以跨越国度，推翻壁垒，并且如果我们为了我们生之理由而歌唱的时候，有些强有力的东西就会产生...你会意识到在全世界正在进行的这些活动中，你是其中一分子；有些伟岸非凡的东西...就我个人而言，仅仅看到或者听到全球的教会宣告我们万众一心赞美神，我就已经被我的信心所激励...无疑，你也一样...

There's something special about unity.. Music has the ability to cross borders and break down walls, and when it's purpose is putting voice to our reason for being alive, something powerful happens.. You realise you're a part of something that is happening all over the world; Something much bigger.. Personally I've been so encouraged in my faith just seeing and hearing the global Church declare the praises of God with hearts as one.. No doubt you will be too..

第二部分 我们聚集一堂　　将于2008年6月发布...

PART TWO/// WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

Coming June 2008...

If part one is about the confession of our lips.. Part two is about our action..

It takes off exactly where part one left off.. We have literally hundreds + hundreds of hours of footage.. We've documented the entire journey, and we're putting it together in a way that captures what we've been so blessed to experience; The passion, the hunger and the urgency of a generation across the earth desperate to live the life God designed for them... We've captured the worship.. But we've also captured the places.. We've talked to the people.. We've documented some of the best and worst the world has to offer and have told the story in a way that inspires, but also challenges us all to live the worship life that goes beyond just the confession of our lips, but would direct us toward action - Reaching out to the lost and the broken.. Helping the poor and oppressed.. Pursuing justice and fairness for all people..

In short we are releasing a feature length documentary in a double DVD pack + a whole lot of worship.. There's so much more to it, but you'll have to wait and see...

And all of this serves to set up for the main part...

PART THREE/// THE MOVEMENT..

Set to launch officially June 2008.. But it really starts now...

This is where YOU get involved.. part one and two are the story and the mission.. They are united projects aimed at giving us all a global perspective.. Part three is about YOU.. About your projects.. About telling the stories of everyday heroes.. People who are taking it to the streets.. Who aren't just doing Church, but who are stepping out and BEING the Church.. And this is what will decide whether we're a part of generation of hype and good intentions - who sung the songs and talked about making a difference but with little action.. Or whether we can truly say we were a part of global revolution.. A movement of passionate people who laid down our own personal agendas for the good of others and the cause of Christ.. Who stood up and DID something.. With no agenda but LOVE..

I HEART.

It's a locally focused initiative which, if we work together, will have global impact..

Think of it as a GLOBAL project...

Imagine a global online community where at any moment you can see what other like-minded people all around the world are doing locally to make a difference.. It's about being the change.. Locally, and together having global effect..

A social justice hub where the Church can use it's voice and be heard on the issues of injustice that face so many.. And be mobilised to action and operate as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ..

Practically it'll depend entirely on all of us choosing to act.. We're gonna do our best to set up a platform and a network where we can be educated on the issues.. Be directed to ways we can help.. Be inspired by the stories of others.. And share our own experiences and challenges... But ultimately this is about YOU taking up the challenge to live your life for OTHERS....

SO THERE IT IS.. I BELIEVE WE'RE ON THE EDGE OF A MOVE OF GOD LIKE NEVER BEFORE.. I REALLY DO.. BUT GOD ALWAYS RESPONDS TO US EARNESTLY AND DILIGENTLY SEEKING HIM!!! SO CHASE HIM!! DESIRE MORE!! BUT BE READY TO NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.. PREPARE YOURSELF TO LIVE UNCOMFORTABLY; TO BE INCONVENIENCED, BUT TO SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY!!! IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS.. THE UNSEEN.. THE SELFLESS.. IT'S TRUE WORSHIP.. IT'S WHAT WE WERE MADE FOR..!!

MUCH LOVE...

Hillsong的教会历史如下：

Story So Far

Brian and Bobbie Houston are the senior pastors of Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, incorporating two major campuses (Hills and City), a city-wide network of Connect Groups and contributing ministries and extension services.

In February 1978, Brian and Bobbie moved to Australia as newlyweds from New Zealand, joining the ministry team of Sydney Christian Life Centre which was pioneered in July 1977. In the early 1980s, after successfully pioneering two other churches in the Sydney region, they saw the need to provide people in Sydney's North West with a fresh and contemporary church. In August 1983, they founded Hills Christian Life Centre. It has grown from a congregation of 45 to what is said to be the largest church in Australian history.

Today Hillsong Church operates from a 21 acre site in a modern business park in the Hills District, and from a contemporary facility in Waterloo near the heart of Sydney's CBD. With a total attendance of over 20,000 on any given weekend, the reputation of the church continues to expand, having a dynamic influence and impact in Australia and many other nations. Hillsong also has churchesin London, Kiev and Paris.

The live praise and worship albums produced by Hillsong Music Australia have achieved gold status in various countries, and the songs are sung in churches around the world. Hillsong's Worship Pastor Darlene Zschech and other members of the worship team have become internationally renowned for their songwriting and anointed worship leading.

Churches of all denominations from across the globe are able to experience what God is doing in and through the people at Hillsong Church through the annual Hillsong Conference, Colour Your World Women's Conference and Hillsong Men's Conference.

The Hillsong International Leadership College attracts students from all over the globe and is committed to training, equipping and building leaders in pastoral, music and other ministry skills.

Hillsong Church is also actively involved in building the Sydney local community through Hillsong Emerge whose facilities and programs range from medical centres and emergency relief services, to drug and alcohol programs and personal development and recovery programs.

As Hillsong Church continues to increase and grow, the vision remains consistent: to build the Church of Jesus Christ and bless the body of Christ world-wide.
