Comments on: Attending Hillsong College - my experiences http://www.freedomgeneration.com/2005/06/28/attending-hillsong-college-my-experiences/ The Weblog of Matthew James Sweet Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:08:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Jamie Farrell http://www.freedomgeneration.com/2005/06/28/attending-hillsong-college-my-experiences/#comment-144 Jamie Farrell Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:27:51 +0000 http://freedomgeneration.com/?p=129#comment-144 Hey Matt, I realise you wrote this post just over 3 years ago, but I'd like to join the long list of people who have thanked you for writing this blog. I live in the UK and have a pretty decent job which, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't really want to leave, but my girlfriend and I are making the step and planning to do Hillsong College in January next year. We haven't as of yet booked flights, applied for a place on the course, or applied for visas yet...but just the idea that we are planning to move out of our home country for a year is already starting to blow my brain. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me. So thank you for the practical help listed in this post, and I'm sure it will come in handy. As a young couple (aged 21 & 23) would you recommend we apply to the Hills campus or the City campus??? Jamie Hey Matt,

Reading what you had to say was a real encouragement. I am finishing up highschool and I am seeking God with all my heart as to where He wants me to go. I know He is calling me into ministry, but through researching colleges, Hillsong College has really been on my heart for the past few months. I am praying God will open up a way for me to go! Thank you again, and keep rockin out for Jesus!!! Hi Matt;

I really feel a call from God to pursue training in worship arts, and Hillsong College has come up yet again in my search for where God wants. Your section on "when you get to Hillsong College" with all the points really hit home to me and reminded me to keep on the God and heart checks when pursuing something this big. Thanks again! ~Melody Matt,

I was just searching the college since i start it up here in about 4 days. I think I live in your old house and I recognized the name from old paper stuff in the garage! lol. So, good words, awesome to hear of your journey. And yes, God definately builds up whatever He starts before you even get here. The romance is so awesomely found between bible class and squalking birds.Have THE best day, nicole ( bass. waca stream. randomly surfing the net at midnite) Hey Matt!

Something informative and someone that actually offer to help. I've been browsing on Hillsong college's web for ages. It is a great dream of mine to be able to go to Hillsong college and learn and live the word of God in a way never imagnined. The problem is I'm looking for funding. I'm working at the Mount Grace Spa in South Africa as a Beauty Therapist which is an amazing place and I've learnt alot of myself and my relationship with God. I always wanted to work in God's company, reaching out to the lost, missguided or yearning young people of the world and show them what God is all about. Well all I realy want to know is if you know of an organisation or someone that would be able to help me with funds. Thanx Lots of Blessings Carolien Hi Matthew
