The meetings started at 8 am with a time set apart for intercession and worship. From there, it was straight into the word for an hour and half. At ten o clock, the sessions split into separate tracks. These sessions allowed the ministers to focus and speak to their audience and justice was done to the variety of people attending the convention. Pastors and church planters moved into a separate area, while the kids had their own worship tent. The rest of the people stayed in the main tent till noon.
At 1pm, lunch was served to all the registered delegates. This meant that over 75 volunteers were giving rice in leaf-plates (the original use and throw version) while another 75 kept pouring hot daal curry (lentils) on the plates. By the time you finished your meals, it was time for the afternoon meetings.
At 2.30pm for the next two hours, the youth gathered in one tent for worship and teaching. The kids gathered in the hall (by the second night there were over 400 kids). The pastors had their own conference hall while the sisters gathering in the main tent, used the rest of the space available.
At 5.30pm the sound system used to come alive for a 6pm start. This was the signal the people would wait before they began to pour into the main tent. It seemed that they could not afford to miss a single second of the service.
All of the sessions began before time and ended on time. As one person commented, “There was no need to wear a watch during the day. You just had to go with the flow from morning till evening. It was a timeless day.”
