Hillsong International Leadership College

Day #1: First day at school :-)

Posted by Johan under impressions

What’s Hillsong College actually like? - That question we’ve been asking ourselves since we started thinking about HILC as an alternative for Bible College and Pastoral training. What are their basic values? What’s their vision, thoughts, goals etc. Some information you’ll of course find on their website. On this blog we’ll be telling you our experiences on our own journey also at Hillsong College. So here we go - first day:

First day

We arrived just on time, 8:30. The weather is freezing cold. On our way in everyone we meet greets with a big smile.

The morning sets off Hillsong style with some 25 minutes of great worship. The principal of the hills campus, Lee Burns, welcomes us with an inspiring and humoristic touch. He tells about Brian Hustons vision for Hillsong church and the values of the school. During an 1 hour break everyone is given a nice t-shirt and a school bag - cool. Talked to an american woman, a Swede, couple of American guys, and a Norwegian girl. And some others. Great. The school is packed of Americans and Norwegians. If I don’t catch up on the Austrailian accent I can still train on the Norwegian one.

The atmosphere in general is enthusiastic, and Lee points out the importance of letting this be a year when God can work in and through you, and transform you. He actually addressed the “jante-law” (common in the northern countries) and promised that it will be dealt with. Liked that.

I left first day of school encouraged and very eager to see what’s to come, looking very much forward to what God has in store this coming year!

    Hej! Härligt att höra att skolan börjat där och ni får höra från Gud genom hans tjänare! Jag tror Gud kommer att överraska er på så många sätt när ni vandrar med honom där. Allt gått och vi hörs! =)
