OCEANIA CONVENTION 2012 BY DR WILSOM LIM

Praise God! We've just had a wonderful Oceania Convention 2012, at Caloundra, up at the Sunshine Coast, which is just north of Brisbane. It was such an exciting time. Our theme was passion. And really we had such a tremendous range of speakers that inspired passion amongst all our people. We had Ps Gordon, the national director of C3 speaking to us. It was just hilarious and yet so impacting. We had Ps Simon our president sharing with us and really impacting us for the passion for the Great Commission. And I had a great opportunity to share and we really just stirred the passion that God wants to have in all of our lives.

There were tremendous encounters with God. There were people who were healed; people who were baptized in the Holy Spirit. And I think every delegate took back something of God in their lives. They've been challenged and inspired to grow in their passion for God, to grow in their passion for people and in the passion for the Great Commission. It was just tremendous to see the hundreds of people who came up to dedicate their lives to say, "I'm willing to go". God did such tremendous things. We had about 850 delegates here over the weekend and on Sunday itself, we had probably over 1000 people. It was really fantastic. We're looking forward to more things of God moving in our lives and in all of our churches.

We're looking forward to the next Oceania Convention in Philip Island. So we trust that we will see you there at Easter 2013. God bless you!
