Gone are the days when children's ministries get second best and a pitiful budget - well, largely gone anyway - as churches begin to realise the importance of this generation of worshippers. Hillsong have been aware of the value of kids ministry for many years now, yet this is their first DVD and accompanying live album. And what a belter it is too! An hour of high octane dance praise led with almost unfeasible enthusiasm by David Wakerley and his Hills Kids team and deftly programmed by an army of musicians. The songs are mainly self-penned by the team but also featured are new arrangements of Hillsong classics "Blessed" and "King Of Majesty". The kids are obviously having a great time (apart from the odd one or two who look absolutely clueless, but you always get them, don't you?!) and there is quite clearly a real spirit of worship going on, especially at the end when it all slows down musically, but the spiritual passion never once drops.
