Filling the Foodbank

Through this project we are able to give food to families all over Sydney who are literally scrapping the bottom of the barrel . We are now not limited with what we can give. It is incredible to be apart of a youth ministry that reaches out to people in there very own city.

On behalf of Hillsong CityCare and Gary “Fuz” Farrelly,
Thank you,

Office Hook-Ups

So I’m currently on the flip-side of the planet from home.. But my sister sent me this little vid of some of the happenings around the office, and I thought this little piece of cupid-initiative was too genius to not share with the world…

IHEART……….. WHAT!?

THE SOUNDTRACK....
So… It hasn’t quite sunk in yet, and I’m reluctant to submit to the reality of it all and what that actually entails.  But after 18 months of blood, sweat, coffee, Thai food, and the occasional tear; countless hours huddled in dark rooms behind computer screens and video cameras; a whole lot of ‘edit undo’s, copy + paste’s, and more edit undo’s; crashed hard-drives; all manner of challenges and various, often unfathomable set-backs…. I’m happy and sad and altogether relieved to say that…. “WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER” has well… Dare I say it…COME TOGETHER!!!

Live Album Recording for Church

Each year our live album recording has served as an opportunity for our entire church to come together, sing the new song and express our worship to God as one. Creatively, our team always endeavour to bring our very best, but the intent has always been above all, to simply capture the heartbeat of our church as it resonates with the heart of God. In 2009 we’re going all out, we’re taking a new approach and it involves every one of us. It involves you!

So get it in your spirit now to expect an encounter with our Creator and Saviour like we’ve never seen or experienced. Expect the unexpected and let’s together believe that whatever gets captured will ultimately break down walls and breathe the light, love and freedom of Christ into peoples circumstances all over the earth.

Kilo of Kindness

Kilo of kindness is about coming together in worship and at the same time be a blessing to people in our local community who are doing it a bit tough. Simply bring a kilo of non perishable foods with you to the foyers of our 3 live album recordings, which we will pack and distribute to people in need through our city. This is about practically bringing justice to our community.

Greatest Ever… // Chrishan

Hey guys!

We have just had the greatest Fuel and Wildlife camps that I can ever remember!! Fuel at Glenrock took things to a whole nutha level, and Wildlife had a chopper! What was incredible though, was the prophetic edge that ran through both. From worship through to young people praying, it is evident that God is doing something fresh in our youth ministry, and I’m loving it. Will never forget the last night of wildlife camp, with kids staying around and praying and worshipping till 3am! It’s going to be the greatest year!

Much love,

Chrishan

Bubba J // Dani

Hey friends!

We have had a total blast at Fuel and Wildlife Summercamps – the most phenomenal camps we’ve ever experienced where God moved so powerfully. I loved watching everyone worship Jesus even when some days the temperature sky rocketed to about 42 degrees - I think we’ve all never sweated SO much!

Chrishan and I are really excited for this year – not only for what’s in front of us for our Youth Ministry, but also for us personally. Yes, we are just over 8 weeks out from the birth of our first baby! We’re having a little girl and up to this point we haven’t worked out what to call her so she remains Bubba J!!

Can’t wait for you all to meet her when she arrives!

Lotsa love,
Dani

PS. If you have any ideas for names for Bubba J, leave a comment!
