It was Memorable

Believe it or not it was my first time going inside Gelora Bung Karno.
Ah, a stadium. straight away fell in love with the atmosphere.

But more importantly, we were there to jump and dance praising the King of kings! A P&W session with Hillsong London and a crusade with Rev.Reinhard Bonnke.

We got there really really too early, so we spent some time walking around taking photographs and choosing comfy seats before settling down talking about things. Biasaaa trending topic.
Oh yaaa haha, when we were going up using stairs, we heard someone rehearsing, the voice's sooo soft and calming.. I said to Vena (very excited about Hillsong), "waahh udah kedengeran suara bule! My heart starts melting already,"

"Itu Mike Mohede tau," kata Vena.

Beberapa detik kemudian iya yah. Suaranya Mike. Hahahahahahah ngakakkk seru di tangga. Cape (deh).
The crowd started coming and at 5pm the music started! Yaaay very very very thrilled, we really didn't know there would be quite many celebs there (because in facebook they only mentioned Hillsong London, live in Jakarta). Mike Mohede (lovvveee the voice * Asian Idol : How Could We Fell into the Voting System * Peace*). So blessed by the singers and choirs! I wasn't sure if Rio Febrian was there : too small to see, yes I think it was him. Singing with the Disciples (with Saykoji) was super duper fun!!!!

Another special performance was from Jason, a very talented songwriter, and also blessed by singing dangdut skill hahahahaha, suprising! He also told us about a true story behind the song "Bapa Sentuh Hatiku", about how God healed his friend from the darkest pain and time and how God stopped her hand when she's about to take her own life, came to her, comforted her with His unconditional love.
Thanks God the weather was perfect, no rain, open skies :) the stadium is a great place to worship God.

It was dawn, more people has come, and the bule-bule Hillsong were spotted going into a car that which then brought them to the stage.

The atmosphere was great! We were so ready and excited to start the celebration, to praise the Lord Almighty. We couldn't stop shouting wooo hoooooo!!!!!! The singer led us sing "Ku' Kan Terbang," then the Hillsong crew invaded, "One Way, Jesus!"
Yeahh it was great!!! Really felt the joy of praising God :) I was so happy when they started singing "Take It All" ---my treadmill song! Hahahaha!

Searching the world,
The lost will be found.
in freedom we live,
As one we cry out.
You carried the cross,
You died and rose again,
My God,
I'll only ever give my all.

You sent your Son,
From heaven to earth,
Delivered us all,
It's Eternally heard,
I Searched for Truth
and All I found was you
My God,
I'll only ever give my all.

Chorus:
Jesus, we're living for Your name,
We'll never be ashamed of you
Woah oh oh
Our praise
And all we are today
Take, take, take, it all.
Take, take, take, it all.

Running to the one who heals the blind.
Following the shining light
In Your hands the power to save the world
And my life.

And apparently Sidney Mohede was also on stage singing with them, he led us sing some part of "Shout to the Lord" in Bahasa Indonesia, and we continued the rest in English.

Thanks God for everything!!!!

And this was the opening verse in Rev Bonnke's sermon |a reminder friends, for me and for you| :
Luke 13 : 24
Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to
