Get Smart Youth Conference 2008
Getsmart 08' was one amazing experience I'd say. Arise ChCh elevate met up with Welly elevators for the first time and they were so much fun to be around with. Its just too bad we didn't get enough time to know them better. Can't wait to see them again at the arise conference which is going to take place real soon on the 14th of August! All of us took a picture with the funky monkey's - a random group of promoters in the city Centre, we didn't know what they were promoting though. We wiped them clean of their funky monkey badges and Greg said that they might even be promoting party pills for all we know. I threw mine away. Haha. We also played the Freeze and charge game in the middle of town and EVERYONE was starring. But it was so much fun! Not forgetting the fun cheers we did whilst queuing up for seats. Rub it up, rub it up , rub it up!

So anyway, back to the conference. If you don't know what getsmart is all about, its basically an amazing Christian youth conference with great international speakers like pst. Reggie Dabbs,pst. Brian Houston, Pst Paul De Jong ,pst. Andy andrews and many more. Getsmart Christchurch and Auckland takes place simultaneously during the school holidays and youth from all over NZ get to get together and praise and worship God. Amazin' stuff I tell you! It was a great personal journey for me during this conference as I have never felt so connected and engaged with Jesus and I truly believe that my relationship with God will continue building and strengthening as I grow. Janine and Andy the founders have announced that they'll be passing down Getsmart to Nadia and clarke from Life church . I expected it to happen because it was getsmarts 10 year anniversary and that Andy and Janine have been moving on to start their own ministries.
There's just so much about this experience that words truly cannot describe it. Only those who attended it can really understand where I'm coming from. Pictures were taken by Cammy.
