Unfortunately, RICE was totally sold out, and although I had pre-bought a ticket, they asked those who were not in high school and already christians to kindly give up their tickets, so I didn't get to go to the Rally this year. I'll be on the look out for the talk that will hopefully be posted on utube soon.

RICE: BIG DAY OUT
RICE is on once again!
Rice Interchurch Evanglistic Event is where a whole group of Chinese Churches around Sydney get together to have a youth gathering to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Last saturday I week to RICE: Big Day Out at Homebush Bay, my first BDO despite being a veteran to RICE since '03. Being already late, my friends and I made a direct bee-line to the lunch sausage sizzle, then spent an hour wondering around, eating, saying hi to people, listening to two great talks and then I went on two jumping castles and played tug-of-war to cap off the day.
The thing that stuck with me the most from the talks was James Fong's hands analogy, of which I can only give the last few lines;
"so what's it to be? Say to God - UP YOURS! or pray to God...I'm Yours?"
/edit: you can see this talk on utube at
