Now we have our home again come a step closer. If even a small one. The flight from Christchurch to Sydney was short and sweet. This time I was not incurred in traveling with a dog as it was in New Zealand. Just before the landing time I had a few Mueslieriegel in my backpack. The dog had smelled the customs of the luggage belt and I jumped immediately. Anyone who knows my love for dogs, knows how much I enjoyed about this .... I Greet After I explained to the officer that I no longer bolt in the bag and had left the plane, everything was fine again. Yes, the Quarantaenevorschriften are very strict. In Australia. So Caro came to enjoy that your hiking boots were cleaned by the Australian Quarantaenebeamten personally. He was a bit too much New Zealand soil in their boots, which could possibly bring diseases or bacteria. What a service. In Come
we are in a flat in Sydney Bibelschuelerinnen of the Hillsong College. And so we are talking about what has occupied us in the last two days very much: The Hillsong Church. Within 48 hours Australia, we were already in 3 worship services (Overall, I think are about 10 instead of on a weekend). Is very much up inspirational, encouraging and challenge. Of course, we also have our own ideas and ideas so that we will one or the other somewhat critical view. Particularly exciting is probably the naturalness with which most people here live their faith and make. In Europe, Hill song is predominantly for the music and the constantly new worship songs known. This is also reflected in their services again. When I went into the first service, we arrived a little late to the worship band (about 30 people, including small choir) were already on the rock, I immediately thought: Yes, I never imagined Hillsong presented. Well, what I really want to say to reduce it would be wrong Hillsong. The community is awesome (I know, it also has cosmic resources that would allow efficient). For example, the community are the people around them and this city at the very heart. There are numerous projects and initiatives that embody the love of God to the people in a very practical and helpful way. The work that makes this community and lives above all, is phenomenal. Maybe later I write again something more concrete. Only short
indicative: the Hillsong congregation is split between two campuses. There is one here in downtown, where we were so far only, and there is a in the Hills, more like a suburb of Sydney. However, both locations of the community together. All pastors preach alternately in the places, the communities through video transferences or services linked together. You try, despite the enormous size and the different places the to preserve unity and to stop any competition between the "sub-municipalities."
Again, we are approached by many, presented and very friendly. The best is, therefore, that Hillsong so no abstract Phänomän for us. But people, people with whom we have been able to talk much about their community. Ask questions, listen, be inspired, and if it fits, even questioning something.
If our first impression.
