Passion Conference

God, make it real.


May 30 to June 1
a group of young people headed off for Passion Camp, first of its kind in Kota Kinabalu - an interchurch youth camp where 140+ young people stay together wanting an experience of God in their lives...

It was amazing! Every session deepened conviction for God's move in our land, especially in and through the youth of Malaysia, as well as those involved in raising up this generation. During prayer meetings leading up to this camp, we were receiving insights into the emphases for the camp, and more importantly the youth movement. Then in a sense stuff at the camp really confirmed these insights.

Session after session, came a stronger and stronger conviction that it was the kairos time for such a camp! The OPPORTUNE TIME - repeated over and over. Again, there was a confirmation of God wanting to restore His Word, worship and witness (works) into His Church, like Josiah brought reformation for his generation of followers. And NOW is the time for such a restoration, to build strength in these 3Ws, and see whole nations turn to God. That means 2 Tim 2:20-22, a time of preparation, readiness for Kingdom use, the 7 years of abundance before the 7 years of famine. A time of preparing the people in prayer, like Joel 2. The trumpet is sounding.

UNITY, PROPHETIC INTERCESSION and SCHOOLS - that's how I would summarize what Holy Spirit was impressing on us. There was unity in the teams where students from VARIOUS churches got together to talk and pray about their schools, and in the committee a oneness in Spirit that was inspiring. I'm excited for what has happened at Passion is so significant and representative of what will be taking place as we continue to seek God's face these coming years. There were times when the youth released prophetic words and worshipped God so deeply that many were moved to tears just by sitting still. It was great! And as I watched, my heart broke because of the whole scene, God was pleased. All of them talked for the first time about setting a time for prayer on their campuses, and some of them had already started!

Pr Kenneth Chin preached his heart out about THE END, and during the last session we did a bridge-the-generations prayer. So we got those who represented the: senior pastors, the youth pastors & leaders, and the youth at large to stand together - in formation, extending their hands to pray for unity. Revival's gonna happen across the generations! Reconciliation > Restoration > Revival & Reformation - yeah!

At the final session some of the youth shared their testimonies, every heart was touched by what God was doing in the people who stepped up boldly to testify. A shout out to those who worked hard during the camp!


Fan the passion, guys. God is real :)
