    Hello family in Christ, Today we attended the Wellington Market. The market was about the same size as the Lower Hutt market, on the waterfront.

    We witnessed to the people with tracts and brother Logen preached on top of a stop bank. I walked into the city, to Cuba street shopping centre and witnessed there also. I sensed the influence of the enemy over many of the people.

    1 John 5:9. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

    Proverbs 4:19. The way of the wicked is like darkness;
    They do not know what makes them stumble.

    But still God made divine appointments for a good lot of people, who decided to surrender their lives to Jesus. Actually 48 in total prayed the salvation prayer, thank you Holy Spirit, glory to Jesus. They each received a discipleship manual and a prophetic word.

    Psalm 51:12-13. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
    And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
    Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
    And sinners shall be converted to You.

    A lovely family I met at the basketball court next to the market. Dad allowed me to pray for his family.

    After the Market outreach, we attended another outreach in Johnsonville. Brother Ricky from Fielding had connected us with Ps Tony from Dunamis Church in Lower Hutt. Ps Tony invited us to join them for outreach at Cashmere Heights rest home in Johnsonville. Of course I was very interested to see how the Lord operates through another type of outreach. This one focusing on rest homes to share the Good News.

    Brothers and sisters in Christ from three different churches were teamed up together. Dunamis Church, Lighthouse church and Capital Vineyard. They have been visiting many rest homes around Wellington district, to share the Gospel in music. Thank you Lord for such an amazing outreach. We heard how every rest home that they had approached, opened their doors to them. Obviously the Lord’s hand in this wonderful move of God.

    Revelation 3:8. I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

    Amazingly they had been connected through Ps Peter Kuma, Task Millions move of God conferences. We attended one meeting in Auckland where the focus is on evangelism, equipping the body of Christ to boldly share the Good News. Ps Peter prophesied over each of us, and our various ministry works yet to come.

    Cashmere Heights Rest Home Outreach.

    This was so much fun with very uplifting gospel singing and then a short salvation message, followed by an alter call. Ps Avie from Lighthouse Church, prayed healing and deliverance with the residents participating. One woman broke down in tears as she received healing and deliverance of past trauma and hurt. Thank you Jesus.

    Luke 4:18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
    Because He has anointed Me
    To preach the gospel to the poor;
    He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
    To proclaim liberty to the captives
    And recovery of sight to the blind,
    To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

    After the outreach, Tony invited us for a meal and fellowship. We enjoyed our time with our brothers and sisters in Christ. It was so refreshing to see four different bodies of Christ, including us, united in sharing Jesus to the lost. Hallelujah!

    This is how God has always intended us to operate, united as one, in His Spirit, in His truth, in His perfect love joy and peace. In the great commission of making disciples of all nations. Amen.

    Psalm 133:1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
    For brethren to dwell together in unity!

    Thank you Father God for drawing the body of Christ together. Each part of the body needing each other. Thank You for Your perfect love, flowing through us to lift and up and edify all those around us.Thank you Holy Spirit for teaching us all things. And thank you Jesus, for by Your blood we have overcome the world and by our testimony, that You gave us, we declare Your beautiful saving grace to all the world.

    Revelation 12:11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

    God bless my beloved brothers and sisters,

    With love from your brother in Christ,

    Paul.

  • 30. 26-July 2025: Lower Hutt

    Hello all you believers in Christ, Thank you for joining us here. Currently we are staying at Silver Stream Resort in Lower Hutt.

    George our contact here has blessed us with a 3 bedroom unit, as we didn’t realise there was no seperate shower and toilet facility. We are so thankful to the lovely people here and of course our Father in Heaven who owns all the cattle on all the hills.

    Today we did an outreach at the Lower Hutt Saturday market. There was a heavy frost in the morning, but the sun came out and was very warm during the day.

    I met a man begging as I walked into the market, so I stopped and prayed for him. I felt the anointing as I prayed the power of the addictions to be broken off him. We went straight to work in the market witnessing to many people.

    The market was bustling with many people, a prime outreach location.

    A lovely family, all praying the salvation prayer with all their hearts.

    This family was not ashamed to receive Jesus Christ into their lives.

    A couple of brothers became my brother when they accepted Jesus as their personal saviour. We are now family.

    Another brother in Christ declaring Jesus his Lord and Saviour.

    I met George on the way out, another divine appointment. He rededicated himself to Jesus and he said he really needed the prayer. When we humble ourselves and turn to God, He will most certainly forgive us, and help us, for he is faithful.

    1 John 1:9.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    Today was and amazing day as our Lord Jesus received 56 salvations, a great harvest. We will continue to pray and intercede for all saved souls in the books. God has a great plan, purpose, destiny and calling for each of them.

    Ephesians 2:10. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

    We encourage you to leave a comment or testimony if we met you on the street. Just click on the title of the post.

    With love from your brother in Christ,

    Paul

  • 29. 25-Jul 2025: Carterton

    Hello children of light, this morning we arrived in Carterton. As soon as I hopped out of the bus a sister in Christ was inviting us to lunch and fellowship at The Little Haven outreach on the Main Street in town. This was a lovely surprise and blessing from God.

    We had such a lovely time with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Pastor Johan shared some Proverbs and we swapped tracts.

    Proverbs 3:13. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;

    Look at this beautiful food, Logen tucking in. We enjoyed a home cooked, three course meal, with leek and potato soup, roast lamb and cream jam scones.

    Mathew 25:35. for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

    I met Jenny, who has a brother who attends Ignite Faith Church, my home Church in Auckland. There are no coincidences.

    1 Philippians 1:6. being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

    Mary is so on fire for Jesus, she was very excited to see the Souls for Christ buses drive into town.

    She gave me a lovely prayer sheet and showed me a beautiful song they sing. (come as you are, Jesus remember me, Holy, Holy, Holy)

    Psalm 57:7. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
    I will sing and give praise.

    Mathew 5:8. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

    Brother Logen and Ps Johan.

    Ps Johan is the pastor of Little Haven church, a man filled with the joy of the Lord, is an absolute joy to be around.

    John 15:11. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

    Today the sun was out but the street was fairly quiet. Still the Lord received eleven souls into the Kingdom of Heaven. We handed out invitations to Haven Church to make it their place of worship and felleowship in The Lord, and encouraged them to develop a relationship with Jesus. We then left Carterton for Upper Hutt.

    Thank you all for following our journey with Jesus. And thank you to our new friends in Christ in Carterton, you received us with open arms, fed and watered us, physically and Spiritually.

    With love from your brother in Christ,

    Paul

  • 28. 24-July 2025: Masterton

    Hello Family in Christ. This morning we moved the buses to a local camp ground, to stay tonight, so we could use the facilities, showers and laundry etc.

    We then went into central town and found a spot to set up at a busy intersection. We noticed the local council building entrance right on the intersection too. Logen preached a powerful message on the load speaker, which brought some attention.

    Masterton town centre, with a poplulation of 28,700 people in the district.

    About 40 minutes later, two representatives from the council turned up to shut down the preaching on the mic and threatened to fine us.

    So we opted to put some worship music on at a low volume, but they also said no amplified music allowed on the street. So Logen decided to play some music on his phone, at a very low volume. But still they said not allowed.

    It was apparent that this was a bulling tactic, to try to stop us sharing Jesus to the people of Masterton. They left and we put the speaker away.

    John 15:18-19. If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

    We continued on witnessing to people and the Lord prevailed, bringing 25 people into the Kingdom of Heaven. God will have His harvest before this world passes away.

    Mathew 19:26. But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

    Turia and Sonya received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.

    Brother Logen witnessed a powerful baptism of the Holy Spirit, when he prayed the Salvation prayer with Rua, a woman he met while witnesssing on the street. We see this happen sometimes when people pray sincerely, with all their hearts. God meets them in a powerful and tangible way.

     Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

    We finished up at around 3.30pm and headed back to camp.

    Thank you for following us. feel free to leave a comment by clicking on the title.

    With Love from your brother in Christ,

    Paul

  • 27. 23-July 2025: Pahiatua

    Hello brothers and sisters in Christ, Today we drove 30 minutes north of Eketahuna, to a town called Pahiatua.

    We passed it on the way to Eketahuna and realised that was the town the Lord was leading us to.

    We set up the table next to the New World entrance, in front of an empty shop. We preached to the town, God’s grace and mercy in our Lord and Saviour Jesus. We hope the locals, mostly farmers received a seed of life from God.

    Twenty people prayed with us for salvation, and we referred them to the community church across the road.

    Arriving into Pahiatua, there is a large sign next to the welcome sign saying Wednesday night soup night at the Bush Community Church. Praise God, what a blessing for the people in need, for those passing through this town.

    At about 2.30pm we finished up and headed back to Eketahuna. We said our farewell to Louise & Estelle, and journeyed on to Masterton, just 30 minutes away. We stayed at a freedom camp at Henley Lake.

    We thank you Father God for your continuous blessings and love pouring out onto the streets where ever we go. Thank you Holy Spirit for making the divine appointments for the people of New Zealand. Thank you also Jesus for making a way for all the people of the world to receive everlasting life, if they choose to do so.

    God bless with love from your bother in Christ,

    Paul.

  • 26. 22-Jul 2025: God’s Temple Today, a Type and Shadow of the Old Testament. 2 Chronicles: Chapters 5,6 and 7.


    Solomon, the son of King David, was given wisdom, knowledge, wealth and honour, from God. Such as no other king had previously or shall any after him. When God had blessed him with wealth, he was determined to build a royal house for Him.

    The temple Solomon had built was a type and shadow of what was to come. Blood sacrifices to cleanse from sin and an inner court, the Holy of Holies. When Jesus the only Begotten Son of God, sacrificed Himself on the cross, He became the fulfilment of the greatest sacrifice ever.

    When He rose from the dead, He made a new and better covenant for all mankind, doing away with a temple made of stone. The moment He died on the cross, the veil to the inner court, was torn in two. Making the throne room of God accessible to man, and changing God’s dwelling place from a temple made by man’s hands, to one made by His hands, in us.

    2 Chronicles 6:7-9. Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel. But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart. Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.’ 

    The son shall build the temple. Jesus is the one who builds our temples, He is the corner stone on which we are rebuilt. He is also the author and finisher of our faith. And He is the way maker at the cross.

    The inner sanctuary is where our inner man is, and the ark is our heart. What is in the ark? His commandments written on our hearts.

    2 Chronicles 5:7. Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

    2 Chronicles 5:10.  Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.

    After the temple was finished and everything put in place, as the Lord designed, then there was a celebration, and God entered His house.

    2 Chronicles 7:1-3. When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. 

    When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying:

    “For He is good,
    For His mercy endures forever.”

    The fire is the Holy Spirit entering us when we enter that new covenant through the sacrifice of Jesus at the cross. The presence of God indwelling us. His fire consumes the sacrifices of sin we give up, the darkness in our heart and soul, renewing them day by day, making brand new. He purifies by lining His home with the purity of gold, and engraving His wisdom of words on the fabric of our hearts. Our inner man meditating on His beauty day and night.

    1 corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

    Solomon prayed for the Lord to have mercy upon the people of Israel, and commanded them to pray to the temple to repent when they sinned. Then God would have mercy upon them and forgive them their sins. When we pray we speak from the heart to God, who is very near.

    2 Chronicles 7:14-16. if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

    2 Chronicles 6:36-42. “When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to a land far or near; yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying,

    ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness’; and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been carried captive, and pray toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and toward the temple which I have built for Your name: then hear from heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You. 

    Now, my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and let Your ears be attentive to the prayer made in this place.

    “Now therefore, Arise, O Lord God, to Your resting place,
    You and the ark of Your strength.
    Let Your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation,
    And let Your saints rejoice in goodness.

     “O Lord God, do not turn away the face of Your Anointed;
    Remember the mercies of Your servant David.”

    This shows Gods mercy, yes we are sinners, but He has always been merciful and faithful to forgive our sins, if we turn to Him, repent and ask for help. We see this all through scripture with all people, not just the people of Isreal.

    1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    God also warns us of what will happen if we turn away from Him.

    2 Chronicles 7:19-20. “But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

     1 Corinthians 3:16-17. Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

    Proverbs 28:13. He who covers his sins will not prosper,
    But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

    So friends and family, we see how the old testament mirrors the new. Jesus is The Word and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. His words are written in His Ark, on our hearts, and His Holy Spirit fire dwelling in our inner sanctuary with the inner man on fire for God. His mercy seat on the ark, covered by the blood of Jesus, our atonement of grace.

    As you can see, God in His absolute love and faithfulness to us, has given us everything, in the most perfect gift of all, Lord Jesus Christ.

    In light of this revelation, how could we possibly think that we did anything good, when we know that all good things come from the Father of lights, who dwells within us. Amen.

    Praise You and glorify You Jesus, that we may all glorify our Father through You, for ever and ever. Amen.

    With love from your brother in Christ,

    Paul

  • 25. 22-Jul 2025: Eketahuna

    Hello family in Christ, We arrived in Eketahuna yesterday afternoon to stay with brother Louis Schraader and family.

    God has blessed them with an amazing unique home, a school beautifully renovated into a home. Very spacious at 520 square meters, on one level with 4m high ceilings.

    Louis & Estelle, We have been enjoying fellowship with the Schraader family and they kindly invited us for a lovely dinner.

    Today is our day off (Saturday and Sunday are very busy days for us preaching and witnessing on the streets and through the whole week, with exception of Mondays and Tuesdays), so we are relaxing, tidying the buses and spending time with the Lord.

    Brother Pio, enjoying indoor camping with a fire.

    This morning I was directed to 2 Chronicles and the Lord gave me a study. How Solomon’s building of God’s temple is a type and shadow of us, God’s temples in Christ, I will share more on this in my next post.

    God bless you all for the infinite vastness of His riches, in the revelation of His truth. May He make you whole and complete in Him. Never lacking but walking in the fullness of His love and provision.

    God’s vessels revealing His unlimited love, compassion, grace and mercy in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, to all nations. It is He who abides in us and we in Him, grafted into His vine, united together for ever in the body of Christ. Amen.

    God bless, with love from your brother in Christ,

  • 24. 20-Jul 2025: Palmerston North

    Glory to Jesus! Hello friends in Christ, this morning we attended Activate Church, just up the road from where we are staying. We met up with brother Rick there and he introduced us to lead paster David.

    David prayed for us and the outreach. We enjoyed a great message from him about the goodness of God, and an awesome testimony of healing from Jesus, from a member of the congregation.

    At Activate Church, we met Paster David left and Kevin, middle.

    After church we went back to the Palmerston Plaza. The Lord received so many salvations there yesterday, He sent us back for another round. We did see a few people we prayed for previously, but we still met many more precious souls ready to receive Jesus into their lives.

    The Palmerston Plaza was busy today with a Palestinian protest not far from us. We decided to have a continued preach on our speaker, speaking the word of God over the area. It actually insulated our area from the anger broadcasted next to us. I hope they could hear about the goodness of God in Jesus Christ.

    After the outreach we were invited back to Activate Church to attend the Monday night dinner for the homeless. We were invited to minister with them and we did. I have to say my heart was warmed and very encouraged to see a Church actually functioning as God had always intended it to. Showing love to the needy, feeding the poor and ministering with them. Praise God, Hallelujah!

    Mathew 25:35. for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in

    These three young men all prayed the salvation prayer with me.

    We continued to minister and witness to the public, seeing another 53 souls received into God’s arms.

    We have now come to the end of week 16, four months on the road.The total number of souls received by Jesus, through the outreach is now at 5,280, Glory to Jesus. This work is all done by the Holy Spirit, by Father God’s love, and by Jesus Christ at the cross.

    Psalm 90:17. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
    And establish the work of our hands for us;
    Yes, establish the work of our hands.

    We did nothing, except surrender our vessels to God, so that He could do the work through us. Thank you Holy Spirit for leading Souls for Christ outreach, and making divine appointments for all these precious souls.

    John 15:5. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing

    Hello Family, welcome to Souls for Christ blog. Glory to Jesus, today was an amazing day, filled with God’s love pouring out onto the street. We started at the Saturday market. Soon after we arrived, two brothers in Christ who had a table set up before leaving, and gave us their spot. Thank you Lord. We set up there with ministry books and Bottled water to give away.

    Brothers in Christ Ricky and Ricky from Activate church joined us there. They are on fire for Jesus, preaching the good news on the streets.

    We ministered and prayed for many people there, Gods presence right in the middle of the busy market. Thank you Father for your grace and mercy for the people of Palmy, as they say.

    At mid day the market wrapped up and we headed down town to central plaza. We were excited to see crowds of people streaming to and fro from the plaza. We set up the table right on the corner next to pedestrian crossing across the road from the Mall.

    Brothers in Christ, boldly sharing Jesus to the multitudes.

    Well we were busy, non stop from 12.00-3.30pm, with many people stopping and praying to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

    I encountered an incident were a person basking, suddenly rushed at me to attack me. I fended him off while addressing the demonic spirit. He then backed off to where he was, while I stayed where I was. Brother Ricky came to join me on the Mall side. Brother Pio went over to him to pray for him. he was able to pray deliverance with him. Soon after that he came over to apologise to me before he left. Of course I forgave him and blessed him in Jesus name. Often we see people manifest as the demons just can’t handle the presence of God.

    Logen handing tracts out and offering prayer to the public

    These young men were serious about accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour, as they prayed with all their hearts the salvation prayer.

    Ben prayed with me the salvation prayer, even though he was already with the Lord. I sensed the presence of God in him.

    We had an amazing day today thank you Holy Spirit. We are so blessed to be doing this work for Jesus. Witnessing all these people receive His life ,His light, His Healing and salvation is our reward. Today 148 precious souls on the streets of Palmerston North, prayed the salvation prayer with us. Receiving God’s eternal gift of everlasting life in Jesus Christ, glory to Him, thank you Holy Spirit.

    God bless you all.

    With love from your brother in Christ.

  • 22. 18-Jul 2025: Fielding

    Hello, brothers and sisters in Christ. Today we set up across the road from the Fielding market. We preached the word of God and shared testimony.

    A local brother in Christ, Ricky joined us, along with three other evangelists from Martin. Even though the market was small, the Lord still poured out His Spirit upon the people.

    I was so busy with witnessing, that I forgot to take a video. So at this time when video was taken, we had already packed up, and most of the market had as well.

    Podge did not know much about Jesus when I asked him, but after sharing the gospel with him, he prayed with all his heart to receive Jesus into his life.

    He was one of twenty people to do so today. We also prayed healing and deliverance with some of them too, thank you Jesus.

    Thank you for joining us here on the site. We would love to hear of your testimonies, if you were one of these people from today or any other day. People could be encourage to receive eternal life through Jesus, simply through hearing your testimony.

    God bless you all

    With love from your brother in Christ,

    Paul
