I still have a hangover from last weekend’s Kerygma Conference 2009.

          Picture this: 9000 people being blessed at the Araneta Coliseum and 2000 being blessed at the Cebu International Convention Center. It was mind-blowing.

          I really felt we received a special visitation from God. So many people left the event healed, inspired, and empowered.

          But do you know what was my favorite miracle in KCon?

We had over 600 volunteers. They made KCon happen.

I consider our Sponsors volunteers too. Our biggest Sponsors were basically friends who supported KCon even if they knew they could get better “advertising” mileage elsewhere.

I believe volunteers are the most powerful force in the world.

Let me define “volunteers”: People who do what they do because they love.

Friend, be a volunteer. Not just in KCon. But in life.

Now For My Apologies

            I deeply apologize for what happened during lunchtime.

          Araneta Coliseum has this bizarre rule that says participants can’t go out of the Coliseum without buying a new ticket in the afternoon.

          Days before the event, we tried hard to convince the Araneta management to change this bizarre rule. But they didn’t budge. A rule is a rule, they said.

          Again, I’m deeply sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. There are just some things we have no control over–and this was one of them.

          I’ve already spoken my personal opinion to my team: That if Araneta doesn’t change their unreasonable rules (there are others I’d rather not talk about here), we’ll hold the KCon in another place next year.

          The KCon is for you–and I’ll do everything to make it great for you!

Yes, Next Year Will Be Bigger

Gosh, I’m already excited for next year’s KCon.

But while waiting for KCon 2010, I’m inviting you to join us at the various FEASTs scattered across Metro Manila. Yes, each weekly FEAST is a mini-KCon.

          The FEAST is one of the happiest places on earth.

          Just ask the people who come and can’t get enough of it.

We now hold five weekly FEASTs all over Metro Manila. (We have a few other Feasts in other cities, but they’ll be launched this January as weekly Feasts. I’ll announce them in January.)

          If you want to grow strong in your spiritual life, I invite you to plug yourself into one of these weekly FEASTs. You won’t regret it. Because you’ll be spiritually nourished. You’ll be able to pray and serve together with new friends. And I know that God will bless your life abundantly.

          Go ahead. Change your life for the better. Grow!

          Here is the list of the 5 weekly Feasts we have for you:

PS. If you have any questions on these various FEASTs, please email Annie at feastsecretariat@yahoo.com. Hope to see you in one of them!

PS2. I thought we would run out of copies! I launched my newest book, How To Conquer Your Goliaths at the KCon.  A lot of people also got my new book, How To Turn Thoughts Into Things that I launched just last month. Both will appear in all major bookstores very soon. Each of them comes with a free Audio Talk CD. Grab your copies and be very blessed!
