Sejak 1997, Passion Conference telah banyak mengadakan konferensi di berbagai negara bagian Amerika Serikat. Untuk pertama kalinya Passion conference akan mengadakan tour keliling dunia di tahun 2008. Rencana besar ini akan menghabiskan US$4 million untuk 20 kota di sekitar 15 negara. Indonesia dan Jakarta adalah salah satunya.
Pada Passion 2007 di awal tahu ini, para pelajar dari 33 negara berkumpul di Amerika Serikat, dan Louie Giglio banyak berbicara tentang membantu langsung dunia. Kampanye mereka dinamakan “Do Something Now campaign”. Kampanye ini berusaha mendorong para pelajar untuk mengambil tangung jawab langsung dalam membantu lingkungan di seluruh dunia.
Passion berhasil mengumpulkan donor untuk proyek pembangunan 11 sumur di Afrika, yang akhirnya menjadi 38 sumur senilai US$33,000. Semua sumur ini akhirnya diperuntukkan untuk menyediakan air bersih dan mencegah penyebaran HIV/AIDS. Mereka juga mengumpulkan 100 sponsor yang berkomitmen untuk membiaya operasi anak-anak di Amerika Tengah dan Amerika Selatan.
Para pelajar ini didorong Louie untuk menjadi extended hand bagi perkembangan lingkungan mereka di dunia. Tetapi, tahun 2008, Passion memiliki visi yang jauh lebih besar lagi yaitu untuk membawa gospel langsung kepada mereka yang membutuhkan.
Louie Giglio berbicara tentang pesta di surga. ‘Undangannya ada banyak sekali dan ditulis dalam bahasa-bahasa yang berbeda. Mereka yang sudah mendapat undangan dan tahu tentang event di surga ini harusnya bisa membagikan undangannya ke 6,800 group lainnya di seluruh dunia yang belum mengerti ataupun menerima Gospel ini. Tuhan meminta kita semua untuk menjadi bagian ini dan pergi menyebarkan undangan ke setiap orang yang belum terjamah di seluruh dunia.’
Nantikan Passion Conference di Jakarta, pada bulan Agustus 2008 dan kita akan sama-sama membagikan message kepada mereka yang belum terjamah bersamadan sejumlah Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, David Crowder crew Passion yang akan memberkati Jakarta dan Indonesia.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion,
speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies,
caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination,
an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith,
a driver called Jesus,
you will make it to a place called Success.

>Effective Immediately,
>please be aware that there are changes YOU need
>to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be
>completed in order that I may fulfill My promises
>to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in
>this life. I apologize for any inconvenience,
>but after all that I am doing, this seems very
>little to ask of you. Please, follow
>these 10 guidelines
1. QUIT WORRYING:
>Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit
>and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here
>to take all your burdens and carry them for you?
>Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little
>thing that comes your way?
2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
>Something needs done or taken care of. Put it
>on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY
>to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care
>of the problem. I can’t help you until you turn
>it over to Me. And although My to-do-list
>is long, I am after all… God. I can take care
>of anything you put into My hands. In fact,
>if the truth were ever really known, I take
>care of a lot of things for you that you never
>even realize.
3. TRUST ME:
>Once you’ve given your burdens to Me,
>quit trying to take them back. Trust in
>Me. Have the faith that I will take care of
>all your needs, your problems and your trials.
>Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
>Problem with finances? Put it on My list.
>Problems with your emotional roller coaster ?
>For My sake, put it on My list. I want to
>help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
>Don’t wake up one morning and say,
>”Well, I’m feeling much stronger now, I think
>I can handle it from here.” Why do you think
>you are feeling stronger now? It’s simple.
>You gave Me your burdens and I’m taking
>care of them. I a lso renew your strength
>and cover you in my peace. Don’t you
>know that if I give you these problems back,
>you will be right back where you started?
>Leave them with Me and forget about
>them. Just let Me do my job.
5. TALK TO ME:
>I want you to forget a lot of things.
>Forget what was making you crazy.
>Forget the worry and the fretting because
>you know I’m in control. But there’s one
>thing I pray you never forget. Please, don’t
>forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I love YOU!
>I want to hear your voice. I want you to
>include Me in on the things going on in your life.
>I want to hear you talk about your friends
>and family. Prayer is simply you having
>a conversation with Me. I want to be your
>dearest friend.
6. HAVE FAITH:
>I see a lot of things from up here that you
>can’t see from where you are. Have faith in
>Me that I know what I’m doing. Trust Me;
>you wouldn’t want the view from My eyes.
>I will continue to care for you, watch over you,
>and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me.
>Although I have a much h bigger task than you,
>it seems as if you have so much trouble just
>doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. SHARE:
>You were taught to share when you were
>only two years old. When did you forget?
>That rule still applies. Share with those who are
>less fortunate than you. Share your joy with
>those who need encouragement. Share your
>laugh ter with those who haven’t heard any in
>such a long time. Share your tears with those
>who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith
>with those who have none.
8. BE PATIENT:
>I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime
>you could have so many diverse experiences.
>You grow from a child to an adult, have children,
>change jobs many times, learn many trades,
>travel to so many places, meet thousands
>of people, and experience so much. How can
>you be so impatient then when it takes Me
>a little longer than you expect to handle
>something on My to-do-list? Trust in My
>timing, for My timing is perfect. Just
>because I created the entire universe in
>only six days, everyone thinks I should
>always rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND:
>Be kind to others, for I love them just
>as much as I love you. They may not dress
>like you, or talk like you, or live the same way
>you do, but I still love you all. Please try
>to get along, for My sake. I created each
>of you different in some way. It would be
>too boring if you were all identical.
>Please, know I love each of your differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF:
>As much as I love you, how can you not
>love yourself? You were created by me for
>one reason only — to be loved, and to love
>in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me.
>Love your neighbors. But also love yourself.
>It makes My heart ache when I see you
>so angry with yourself when things go
>wrong. You are very precious to me.
>Don’t ever forget……
Note: I received this from a friend and I have
no idea who wrote it, but I was so touched
by it, that I had to share it with you.
I hope that you will be blessed by
it and will share it with others.
>Touch someone with your love.
>Rather than focus upon the thorns of life,
>smell the roses and count your blessings!
