HM SRI LANKA: 16-17 April 09


April 16 and 17, 2009 were days of transformation for 180 passionate young people in the nation of Sri Lanka. “UNLEASH” was the theme of this year's History Maker Conference. From the start there was non-stop action with awesome worship, powerful life-changing Word, fantastic dance and drama. The atmosphere was great and very exciting. It was all you can ask for and more!

To kick things off the ground, Pastor Mitch (Sri Lanka) spoke on Dedication, Devotion and Destruction. The youth were challenged with the story of Samson, how he took a jaw bone of a donkey and killed a thousand people with it. Likewise when the people of God get yielded, devoted and dedicated to Him, God will use the most unlikely things to help His people fight against the enemy and destroy its power.

Pastor Anil Alexander (India) then shared on walking into the destiny God has for us without getting distracted. He spoke about talking to your enemies but not entertaining them. Taking authority and walking in boldness is the key! Many young people cried out for a fresh wind and filling from the Lord as Pastor Anil ended his sharing with a song and ministry.

The evening rally started with Pastor Steve Roberts (Malaysia) shaking things with a presentation tied in with a song from Pillar. He talked about the things people do in the dark and also addressed the spirit of “whoredom”. It was a night of breaking heavy bondages attached to people's lives. As we moved into a time of ministry, people came out of their hiding places to the altar to receive freedom from hidden strongholds in their lives. The night ended with people experiencing breakthroughs and having such a real encounter with the living God.

The next day Pastor Steve went deeper to speak on the issues the young people are facing. It led to another session by Pastor Mitch who talked about hearing the voice of God and prophesying to each other in activating our spiritual gifts. In an act of consecration to the Lord, those who wore items symbolic of the occult gave those things up at the altar and dedicated themselves afresh to Him.

At the final night meeting there was great excitement, special lighting effects, smoke machines, plus the World Shakers team doing a dance item. Apostle Woodrow Blok (Sri Lanka) shared a powerful message on the Anointing and how we as believers should guard the anointing when we go out to the world. Ending the session and the conference, the pastoral team laid hands on the young people and released an anointing in sending them forth with a fresh fire, passion and impartation!

We believe that “UNLEASH” truly released the true History Maker Jesus in a greater way in the hearts and the spirits of the young people. We praise God for what He is doing and continue doing in the nations through this History Maker Generation!

HM AUSTRALIA: 2-4 May 09

“Called To Be A Worshipper” (Isaiah 43:21)


History Maker Australia in Gold Coast, hosted by Bethany Brisbane International Church (Pastor Hanny Yasaputra), began with powerfully inspired praise and worship led by History Maker Youth and Adon.


The faith, expectation and anticipation of what the Holy Spirit was going to do during this conference could be sensed from the very beginning. For the first time in a History Maker Conference, three advisors came together to release and impart God’s anointing on their lives into the participants. Apostle Richard Brown III, our HM Advisor, opened the conference with a message underscoring the importance of the worshipper’s role as “God’s Priesthood.” This message set the tone for the entire conference by challenging the worshippers to walk and live in their priestly calling.

Day two began with 6:00am prayer. Early morning prayer is a hallmark of History Maker Conferences and the HM Australia participants proved they were up to the task. Rev. Philip Ong, another HM Advisor, shared his tremendous passion and zeal for Christ through the Word of God and numerous personal testimonies building the worshipper's level of faith.

Tim Johnson and German Rodriguez (Okinawa, Japan) took advantage of every opportunity to teach and impart the importance of street evangelism and discipleship as powerful tools to be used for the Kingdom of God. The participants' hunger and thirst for more of Christ was rewarded with salvation, deliverance and baptism in the Holy Ghost.

Rev. Hakan Gabrielson, our HM Advisor, shared a simple yet powerful message about the importance of Jesus’ healing ministry, releasing faith for healing and deliverance.

By day three of the conference, it was evident that there had been a visitation by the Holy Spirit and that the participants were fired up and ready to demonstrate the training and impartation they received.

HM INDONESIA 09



HM Indonesia: 25-27 Mar 09

The History Maker Conference in Palembang, Indonesia saw partners and their teams from various nations coming together to proclaim Jesus in an awesome and powerful way! We had speakers like Pastor Sam Surendran (Malaysia), Pastor Steve Roberts (Malaysia), Pastor Akira Momoi (Japan), Ester R.P. (Indonesia), Pastor Abraham Mathew (Singapore) and Pastor Richard William (Singapore). They conducted different sessions and workshops challenging the church to do greater exploits for the Lord and expect a mighty harvest ahead. The young people from Japan and Malaysia shared their testimonies, encouraging the people to hold on to God no matter what happens. As with all History Maker Conferences, the young people met at 5.30am for morning prayer everyday to seek the Lord's face for revival in the land.

On the Friday, the church divided themselves into four teams and went into the local high schools and universities to promote that night’s concert. Prior to the conference, the entire church was in a posture of fasting and seeking the Lord. God’s grace and favor was evident as they were granted permission to hold a rally convoy. With much excitement the church gathered along the streets of Palembang holding up flags and banners imprinted with words like “Jehovah Jireh”, “Jehovah Nissi” and many others. Countless people looked on as the senior traffic police officer escorted the convoy of motorcycles and cars through the city streets. It was such a glorious way to lift up and declare the wonderful name of Jesus!

Our host, Pastor Robert Lie, showed us a w
hole new unconventional way to do evangelism. The concert was going to be held at the biggest and most popular disco club in the city – Centre Stage – and this is the first ever History Maker Conference held in a disco club. How fitting is the name “Centre Stage” for God is about to take over and be the centre stage in people’s lives.

Over 400 youth gathered at Centre Stage
that Friday night. The concert kicked started with a hip hop dance performance by a group called VIP Crew, followed by vibrant praise and worship led by the band. When the praise and worship ended, there came a sudden dead silence. To the shock and horror of the audience, “pallbearers” – people wearing ghostly masks and dressed entirely in black – brought in an actual coffin and placed it in the middle of the stage. “What’s going on?!” exclaimed Pastor Richard as he got out of the coffin. He went on to share how our lives can suddenly be taken away in the midst of fun and excitement. Only through Jesus we can find true meaning and purpose in life because He is the only One who conquered the grave and defeated death. The altar call was given and more than 67 young people came forward to give their hearts to the Lord. Praise be to God for this remarkable result! The night ended with a celebration of praise for the new souls that had just been added to the Kingdom of God.



Truly, the church in Palembang has set a new standard for what it means to be a “church without walls.” God will surely raise them up to make a greater impact in their time and generation!

HM MALAYSIA 09



HM Malaysia: 27-28 Feb 09

It is another exciting year for us History Makers as we step into 2009. Despite the global financial crisis, we believe this is an opportune time for the Kingdom to explode and grow exponentially. Nothing can stop God’s program. Nothing will stop His Church from going forward. There is nothing the enemy can do to stop hungry hearts from receiving God’s Kingdom!

History Maker Malay
sia 2009 kicked off in the city of Penang at Excel Point Community Church on 27 Feb. This was also their missions emphasis weekend where members are again encouraged and challenged to obey God’s command to go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation (Mark 16:15), to support the missions vision of the church and to make a difference wherever they go. Many people began to fill the hall as the History Maker Singapore band started to lead praise and worship on the Friday night. The youth and many others were all excited and fired up as they jumped to the songs, with loud shouts of praise to Jesus going through the air. Hands were lifted to the Lord as passionate souls worshipped their wonderful Savior with all of their hearts.

Pastor Richard William shared on the power of surrender, challenging the people to lay down their lives so that God can do something to their lives that they cannot achieve on their own. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains along; but if dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:24-25).

The next day on 28 Feb, EPCC
church members and the Singapore team came together at 5.30am for morning prayer. It has been a week of prayer and fasting for the church. Together we sought the Lord’s face and prayed for Malaysia, the government, the church and for individual lives.

Later in the morning we continued the conference with a seminar on discipleship. Pastor Kelly, Grace, Johan and Kenneth shared on the biblical principles of discipleship and the practical aspects of discipling. It was a heartfelt learning workshop with many encouraged to either disciple one person this year, or be willing to be discipled and grow in their walk with Jesus.

On
that Saturday evening was the Saturday Night Live youth service, also the final session of the conference. The youth gathered in the hall by 6pm to pray and the Singapore team joined them in the prayer time. There was much synergy in the place as we prayed for God’s presence and anointing. Indeed, “how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Psalm 133:1). The crowd began the pack the hall by 7.30pm. The EPCC band opened the meeting with exuberant praise, stirring up the people with much excitement. The Singapore band continued to bring the people into the presence of God. Pastor Richard’s message that evening was on Ezekiel’s vision from Ezekiel 1. He challenged the people to give their hearts and lives to God and gave the call for those who would be willing to serve the Lord in the mission field. Many responded to the call and there was such a tremendous move and presence of God in that place. This was indeed an impactful conference and a great start to greater things God has in store for us in 2009.
