Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed. Joseph Addison

Colour Pics


Wow, what an amazing week-end! It's been life changing and inspiring. It was also such a great time hanging out with friends and just being with each other. The theme of the conference was basically 'Rise up, Rise up, Rise up.' About standing strong and reaching the potential God has placed in us. We saw so many lives changed! Here are just a few pitures to give you a taste. I can't really go into more detail, else I'd be writing a book to say everything that happened.


She Is... The point of Colour is placing value upon Womanhood. In a completely Non-feminist way. It's all about considering that in many parts of the world women are abused and suppressed and treated like they mean absolutely nothing. Colour is about changing that mindset. She is Risen, Empowered and Beautiful to the Core.


Colour places value on friendship and partnership. We understand that we were not designed to do life alone, and we are more likely to reach our potential when we come alongside other like-minded people.


One of the focus points was called 'Kindness in Action' which gave us opportunity to contribute to one of many organizations we partner with to try and make a difference in the world. Compassion allows us to sponsor children in various parts of the world, especially in Uganda and Rwanda. These pink and blue cards represent children who were sponsored during the conference. By the end of Saturday the wall was full up. We sponsored about 200 children over the 2 days!





Beautiful. Just beautiful.
