Day 71: Colour Conference, Part 2 of 3

Today I woke up at 6 a.m. to get ready for another day at Colour. The buses were planning on leaving at 7, so we had to get ready fast. Once we got ready and entered the buses, it was off to the Sydney Entertainment Center. Once there, we met up with our groups to discuss the plan for the day. Venue Safety had a basic repeat of yesterday, doing shifts through all the gates to make sure no one sets off an alarm. It was fun to do that; since we're more comfortable with using the radios, we would have silly talks every now and then. At around 10, those of us with breaks were called for a quick training concerning the Gift Moment: a part of the second morning session where volunteers would present pre-prepared gifts for every woman attending. The gift was a tea set, and it was placed in a cute cylinder box. We had a whole process of sending them up the stairs and sending them across the rows. Hillsong is one organized church. Creative too. After that short section of the day, we went right back to our work. It was a lot of serving and sacrifice, but we worked together and it ended up being an excellent day. God is so good at blessing our days when we ask for it; after all, the Scripture says, "ask and it shall be given unto you." Tomorrow is the final day of Colour, and it will be one trial of a day. The Venue Safety team definitely set the bar for excellence fairly high today; can't wait to go at it one more time.

God bless,
Steven
