Last Day of Intensives!

Its 9am on a lovely winters morning as I find myself sitting in the welcoming atmosphere of our local Gloria Jean's coffee house. The blue sky promises a warm day as the sun begins to rise unhindered by clouds. I myself feel very refreshed because this day marks the end of intensive courses for the semester at Hillsong College. As of next week we dive right into our weekly studies and begin a somewhat normal routine.

Over the last two weeks we have learned much and been challenged even more as we are placed in our new environment as though jumping into a rushing river. I have quickly learnt that Hillsong truly is the church that never sleeps as we have events and classes running ever day and night. In my short time here I have already been rostered as a part of their production team and within the first two week I was placed behind a sound board in their children's ministry. It seems funny to think that running sound for children is something I am excited about, but let me tell you this. Their children's ministry is by far just as hard to run as any main service I ran back in the States. This last Sunday I had the privilege of mixing for a ten person band 2 MC's and a pastor along with playing Audio streamed from the production room. I must say it was quite the challenge to keep up with everything going on while tying to learn a new sound system.

All in all God has continued to bless me and grow me as each day I get my limits pushed and my thoughts challenged. 

I hope this day is finding you all well.

Until later...

James
