20th TransformOurWorld Global Conference - Hawaii 9-14 Nov 2010 by Margaret J Burton

Once again I had the privilege of being able to be a part of the amazing Transform Our World conference on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu. And, once again, it did not disappoint but went far beyond all expectation. Going with an open heart and mind, ready and prepared to receive all that God had for me was certainly the key to being able to return home even more blessed and transformed, ready to serve God with even greater passion.Ed and Ruth Silvoso, our spiritual dad and mum, were our wonderful hosts for the week. It was great to be with them again and experience the precious family atmosphere that they bring with them. The excellent Holy Spirit inspired programme with its theme "The Cross - The Resurrection - The Glorious Return" challenged us to once again return to the cross and gain a deeper understanding of the redemptive work of Jesus, to rise up and walk in our God given authority as His ambassadors, to look to the future and believe that the best is yet to come!It was so nice to meet up with friends, our family, from all around the world and hear about all that God is doing with them and through them. It was equally exciting to make new friends and learn of new areas that are being transformed by God.As has always been the case in previous conferences I was challenged by the powerful testimonies and messages from both pulpit and marketplace ministers. I recognized my need to step up another level, trust God and walk in the freedom and confidence that is my inheritance as His child.In the words of Ed Silvoso, "Open up your heart and let the Holy Spirit speak to you." God has great things in store for us. He invites us to partner with Him to bring transformation to this world. Are we willing and courageous enough to take Him up at His invitation? Join this growing group of ordinary people preparing to do extraordinary things to make this world a better place!
