From Bobbie’s desk —

Welcome to COLOUR 2022 … and welcome to your personal Invitation to the beautiful and continuing story of God’s girls across the earth.

It goes without saying that over the past two years the global pandemic has been disruptive to many aspects of society. If you have suffered loss of any description, our hearts go out to you and we trust that knowing you are part of a praying and caring sisterhood brings comfort and resolve.

The world has definitely changed, but one thing that hasn’t been compromised is God’s heart for humanity and His heart towards His daughters. It feels that everything that can be shaken, has been shaken — yet amid that shaking, an even stronger people are emerging. Men, women and young people are rising with stronger convictions and greater passion to see His goodness felt in tangible ways. God is surely preparing the earth for strategic days of outpouring and harvest.

Colour has always been an oasis of belief, inspiration and empowerment. An oasis that has seeded and watered the calling and purposes within many, and our belief is that this will continue. I’m excited for the future and the magnificent generation of girls who are standing strong within this mandate of value. It would be our honour to host you again in 2022 — whether in the room in Sydney, Australia, or within a stunning Colour Online experience.

From my desk to yours, we do pray God’s perfect will into your life. Thank you for your love, friendship and the memories we’ve shared these past 26years. Here’s to the future girls … KEEP SMILING, STAY THE PATH, AND LET’S MAKE OUR KING IN HEAVEN PROUD TO CALL US HIS OWN.

With love and affection always,

What’s not to love about the beauty and artistry of faith?

… Faith that relentlessly weaves its way through time and history? Faith that paints colour and vibrancy across the human soul? Faith that shines brightest when circumstance and days are often at their darkest? And what’s not to love about a future that has your name written within its pages?

For those who are friends to the Colour journey, next year (2022) marks yet another new season for a bold, courageous and caring company of women. A new season of moving forward — in step with one another, in step with the Spirit of God, and in step with a world who is perhaps ready to awaken with a fierce hunger for truth, non-compromise and promise. A new season of everyday women, with a heightened sense of mandate and calling.

SHADOWS AND WONDER is language I sense for the coming year. These three words paint a picture. The Book of Acts declares that in latter times, God would pour out His Spirit, on both men and women, young and old, and that they in turn would become the history-makers, movers and shakers, poets and prophets of a new era. I believe we are living in the very centre and heartbeat of those days, and I believe that God is continuing to pour out His Spirit on a movement of brilliant and breathtaking women who are up for the challenge and adventure, light and shade, wonder and influence.

Lisa Harper and Priscilla Shirer are excited and thrilled to be joining us in Sydney. As host of Colour, I am walking into the future with faith and belief that this divine message of value and dignity will resonate with greater clarity and reach to daughters and women yet to hear. The Whisper hasn’t diminished in power or potency, nor its mission to reach into the furthest corners of this world — and the host of women bearing witness and choosing to publish the good news of a perfect God in Heaven and a perfect Saviour, is only growing and coming of age.

So girls. Mark your calendar (11th & 12th March, 2022 – Hillsong Convention Centre, Sydney, Australia and Global Online Watch Parties) and make a plan because we can’t wait to gather under one roof, with one shout and one fabulous proclamation. And ladies, until this global world finds its equilibrium regarding this current pandemic and uncertain times, our hope is to roll out more exciting options as we can (new wineskins and new opportunities). In the meantime, I hope you will secure you and your friends into our flagship Sydney room or Online. We love you and covet your prayers as we plan and prepare.

You are altogether lovely. I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

With love and affection,
Bobbie Houston
