It all kicked off on Monday night. This conference has got to be the largest gathering of pastors and leaders. Massive. I would guess 30-40K people. The amazing thing is it’s hosted by a local church. Twenty-two years ago Hillsong Church started the Hillsong Conference in response to all the people who wanted to learn from them how to do church. Pretty amazing. Now, twenty-two years later, people are still coming to learn from this incredible church. The worship is unbelievable. The speakers are awesome, but I think the most incredible thing is the volunteer spirit. Over 4500 volunteers from Hillsong Church running around in “I Love My Church” black t-shirts is incredibly inspiring.

 One of their theme verses is Psalm 100:2 – “Serve the Lord with gladness…” It’s totally lived out through all of these incredible volunteers.
