Pastor Steve Roberts (Malaysia), Pastor Akira Momoi (Japan), Ester R.P. (Indonesia), Pastor Abraham Mathew (Singapore) and Pastor Richard William (Singapore). They conducted different sessions and workshops challenging the church to do greater exploits for the Lord and expect a mighty harvest ahead. The young people from Japan and Malaysia shared their testimonies, encouraging the people to hold on to God no matter what happens. As with all History Maker Conferences, the young people met at 5.30am for morning prayer everyday to seek the Lord's face for revival in the land.On the Friday, the church divided themselves into four teams and went into the local high schools and universities to promote that night’s concert. Prior to the conference, the entire church was in a posture of fasting and seeking the Lord.
God’s grace and favor was evident as they were granted permission to hold a rally convoy. With much excitement the church gathered along the streets of Palembang holding up flags and banners imprinted with words like “Jehovah Jireh”, “Jehovah Nissi” and many others. Countless people looked on as the senior traffic police officer escorted the convoy of motorcycles and cars through the city streets. It was such a glorious way to lift up and declare the wonderful name of Jesus!Our host, Pastor Robert Lie, showed us a whole new unconventional way to do evangelism. The concert was going to be held at the biggest a
nd most popular disco club in the city – Centre Stage – and this is the first ever History Maker Conference held in a disco club. How fitting is the name “Centre Stage” for God is about to take over and be the centre stage in people’s lives.Over 400 youth gathered at Centre Stage that Friday night. The concert kicked started with a hip hop dance performance by a group called VIP Crew, followed by vibrant praise and worship led by the band.
When the praise and worship ended, there came a sudden dead silence. To the shock and horror of the audience, people wearing ghostly masks and dressed entirely in black or "pallbearers" brought in an actual coffin and placed it in the middle of the stage. “What’s going on?!” exclaimed Pastor Richard as he got out of the coffin. He went on to share how our lives can suddenly be taken away in the midst of fun and excitement. Only through Jesus we can find true meaning and purpose in life because He is the only One who conquered the grave and defeated death. The altar call was given and more than 67 young people came forward to give their hearts to the Lord. 
Praise be to God for this remarkable result! The night ended with a celebration of praise for the new souls that had just been added to the Kingdom of God.
Truly, the church in Palembang has set a new standard for what it means to be a “church without walls.” God will surely raise them up to make a greater impact in their time and generation!
