Joyce Meyer & Hillsong in Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 2

To read Joyce Meyer & Hillsong in Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 1

There was a conference on the 2nd day morning. The hall was fully packed and no registration was allowed. They had to turn away people. Good thing we registered before coming. Phew! The session in the morning from 9.00am to 12pm was with Joyce Meyer. It was too short!


She gave a very simple but powerful message of Thought Pattern & Attitude. I totally enjoyed her preaching and managed to type almost every word of her message onto my laptop, and have read it over and over again since then. It truly ministered to me. I knew that I needed that message and it greatly touched my heart.


I know I sound like I have been in the jungle for years... But I honestly have not heard her message before this. Neither have I seen her live. I was so touched by her practical, down-to-earth and transparent preaching that I visited her website and listened to almost all of her broadcast!!! I was truly blessed!!!! Go and visit her website to watch her on the internet.


Joyce Meyer is so real. As a person. She tells of her day-to-day struggle in almost every area of her life.

The famous Hillsong Australia

Reuben Morgan, Hillsong Australia... good looking, eh? I mean, such a good worship leader...ahem..

The famous, Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer who has been preaching for the last 30 years, I think. She has written 75 books in 8 languages and her TV program is in 37 channels all over the world. What an amazing woman of God! Can you believe that she is 66 years old???? She has a packed schedule to preach all over the world and all across America. She not only look so good and wrinkle-less, from where I am sitting, but energetic! Most people around that age sits at home waiting to "meet God". I told Joel her age he says, I wish my grandparents is that energetic!

I bumped into Lydia & Pang near Lotus Hotel, Chiang Mai. Then, we bumped into two Australian backpackers at the Walking Market and brought them with us to the concert. It was funny because they have never been to a Hillsong concert in Australia and had to come to Thailand to see them live!

I met these Lahu girls at the end of the concert and I was so glad to meet them!

I would definitely go for another Joyce Meyer meeting in the future. Don't miss it if you have one near to where you are!

Joyce Meyer & Hillsong in Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 1

I went to Joyce Meyer & Hillsong, Festival of Life in Chiang Mai with a friend's church. They rented two 11-seater van which was very comfortable. There were many pee stops and we still managed to reach within a reasonable timing.


The first night, there were to be a concert by Hillsong & local church groups.

The MC for the night



One of the local band.... wearing cowboy hats...


Gsus7 team members which consist of mostly girls... Sorry for the blur photo. That's the best shot of them.

Joyce Meyer didn't preach the first night. There were at least 3 local church bands which led in praise and worship. One of the band was a famous Christian local band named Gsus7. They even have their own recording albums. Good singers and good looking guys/girls. It was mostly in Thai and unfamiliar songs. So, I didn't really enjoy the first night.

Well, what do you know... I managed to snap a photo with Hillsong co-songleader and guitarist

The stadium was packed with mostly Thai and some foreigners, like me

This is my first time attending a live Hillsong concert. I didn't really know what to expect. I am not the very expressive type who jumps with fast and loud beat songs. In fact, I found their music a little too loud for my ears. Then again, what do you expect? Hillsong caters for the young people. Well, I am young... in the heart, anyway. It didn't really help that I was way near the front of the stage. Understanding the consequences of that, I had some cotton in my ears... ;-)


I was really blessed seeing the stadium being so crowded with people praising and worship all together. There were easily 10,000 people, if not more.


The weather was very beautifully cool... where is my blanket? Grrrrggghhh... *shivers*
