Predictable PR spin would tell you that Aliki is one of Australia’s highest selling Christian artists, who travels Australia and New Zealand sharing at over 170 events every year. That she has 3 albums which have received radio airplay and that every song is backed by stunning multimedia.
BUT what do her audiences and event coordinators say?
Throughout the reviews and comments there is a consistent theme – that ALIKI is down to earth and uncommonly engaging. People are left with no doubt that God desires an encounter with them and to share their life’s journey.... That He has done everything to make that encounter possible, and is passionate in pursuing them. ALIKI draws audiences to a sense of belonging, of being His beloved children.
So while there is truth in the first paragraph, it is the second that holds the greatest value. Having ALIKI share at your event, service or function is not about entertainment, it is not about numbers it is all about restoration and transformation – how can ALIKI partner with you to see lives changed for eternity?
From her tranquil home on Tamborine Mountain, Aliki has begun writing afull length book. This base is also home to husband Rob and twobeautiful children.
Below is a sample video which provides a snap shot of just one women’s event...
“I felt God had kissed us this morning” -Member Ballina Uniting
A slight accent gives away her country of origin. Her name adds confusion to the matter. Aliki was born in Auckland New Zealand and arrived on Australian soil at the age of 9. A Greek heritage left her with a name that always raised questions and skin that loves the sun. ‘Aliki’ means "truth", appropriate given a search that led her to Christian faith.
(Filmed at the "Season" women's conference in Toowoomba 2005, this clip is the best way to understand what a concert/presentation by ALIKI might look like)
Aliki has performed for small groups in the "back of Bourke" through to large events of 5000 people. This takes many forms: Sunday morning church, outreach events, women's events, conferences, high school chapel services, prisons, rehab facilities... the list is endless. Each presentation is tailored to suit the occassion and vision of the event coordinator.
Powerful connections between heaven and earth have increasingly been in the context of "Women's Ministry". ALIKI shares frankly about her journey with a loving God and is commonly invited as the keynote speaker for women's ministry events.
Aliki has shared powerfully and sensitively across Australia's broad spectrum of church traditions with both church leaders and members refreshed and challenged.
As mentioned earlier, each presentation is tailored to suit the setting and Aliki will often dovetail into the current season of the church. A minimum of 30 minutes is needed for maximum benefit. This can be extended to over an 1 hour of ministry.
There is no fixed fee for ALIKI's ministry. The only point of consideration is that each concert or session comes at a personal cost to Rob and ALIKI in the vicinity of $500 - $1000 (not including CD sales). Each organisation is simply asked to consider how generous they can be.
