Asia Pacific Youth Alive Conference

Event: Asia Pasific Youth Alive Conference [APYAC]
Date: 10th to 12th of December 09
Venue: Glad Tidings PJ



It's most rapturous seeing 1500 plus delegates of 29 nations uniting for a purpose.

For all have come to impact the regions beyond and speak to the nations with our lives.

To those of you who didn't attend, I hate to say this but YOU MISSED OUT BIG TIME!

Why APYAC was soooooo awesome:


1. The performances were astounding as well as enthralling.


Liang ministered with two exuberant numbers.


Cultural performance by the team from Fiji.


A most animated performance by the team from Japan.


And their grand finale.


Cultural dance presentation by the team from Indonesia.


Cultural presentation by the team from Bangladesh.


Solo offering by Juwita Suwito.


Mike Pilavachi surprised us with his outstanding rendition of Goodbye Love.
His singing was SO AWFULLY inspirational.
He makes me think that the key to singing is off-key.
People, if Mike Pilavachi can sing, SO CAN EVERYONE ELSE.

His screen presence is axiomatic.


See what I mean?


2. The praise and worship sessions were definitely riveting.


Brad and Rebekah from US led most worship sessions with praises.

Our very own Youth Alive band resonate in praise and worship.

 
 The troop from Indonesia.

There was also a band from Philippines.

They were all amazingly tight.

Their synergy is contagious and the presence of God was awesome.

3. All the speakers [who should double up as inspiring comedians]

They had powerful messages to convey and I just loved their inspiring and infusing sessions.

"You call that pathetic patch on your head hair?" he said, "THIS is what I call hair."

 

All the spontaneous banter among the speakers galvanized laughter.
Even the aftermath is as potent. I personally cracked up to their raillery .



 Pastor Victor Wong

He got us rocking and rolling to US #1 Billboard Hot single (1963) 'I Will Follow Him' by Peggy March (15 yr. old singing prodigy).

The best part: Follow the leaders that joined him on stage.



 Almost vaudeville but simply hilarious!
Note: the one in the middle is Pastor Nobu from Japan and is a potential professional butt writer.

4. God's presence.

It was most astounding to witness and join believers from 29 nations unite to worship the Holy Trinity.
