Hello Family and friends in Christ. And greetings to all those yet to receive Jesus into your hearts. Praise God for a wonderful year, touring around New Zealand.

Thank You Father God for Your eternal faithfulness, as You carried us from town to town. Thank You Holy Spirit, for leading and guiding us, every step of the way.

John 14:16-18. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth,whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Thank You Jesus for the many miracles, healings and deliverances we witnessed over the year. Thank You for the thousands of divine appointments You made for Your children, whom You love.

John 12:32. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

Thank You Father God, for connecting us with all our family in Christ all around New Zealand. Thank You for the many blessings You gifted us in places to park the buses, outreach labourers, fellowships and Your love that poured out to us all. You showed us the way.

Mathew 25:29.  “For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away.

Thank You Lord for keeping all the vehicles going well and getting us to each destination safely and thank You for getting us back home safely.

Thank You Father God for shielding us from demonic attack on the streets. Thank You for the many angels You sent to protect us.

Psalm 91. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honuor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

Thank You Jesus for my beloved brothers in Christ, Logen and Pio. Thank You for their beautiful, surrendered hearts, that pour out Your grace and mercy in Your gospel message.

Thank You for Your love and compassion that flows out to all people around them. Thank You for the blessing they are to me. I learnt much through You in them. Amen.

Proverbs 27:17. As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

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.

Isaiah 52:6-8. Therefore My people shall know My name;
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’ ”

How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
With their voices they shall sing together;
For they shall see eye to eye
When the Lord brings back Zion.

Since the beginning of the New Zealand tour, we have been writing in books, the first names of the people who have made the decision to give their hearts to Jesus.

For this reason: to pray and intercede for them everyday.

Colossians 1:9-13. For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

Sometimes, usually when praying with groups, we weren’t able to get names. So we recorded the number of people. God knows exactly who they are.

Psalm 139:13-18 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

Glory to Jesus, at the end of each outreach, we would note a record of new brothers and sisters in Christ.The people who prayed with us, whom believed in Jesus to be their Lord and Saviour.

Now, glory to Jesus, at the end of the New Zealand tour, we have the final recorded, of all the precious souls, who accepted Jesus into their Hearts.

All glory to Jesus ( John 15:5 We can do nothing apart from Jesus )

Holy Spirit has drawn into the arms of Jesus fourteen thousand, eight hundred and ninety one blessed souls, Thank You Jesus.

All applause, all honour, all thanks giving and all praise belongs to Lord Jesus Christ – to Him alone.

John 6:44. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Ephesians 2:8-10. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Well, now we are home, it is great to rest for a while, in one place.

My beloved friends in Christ, Chris and Klaudia, have blessed me, to stay in their flat on a farm near Waiwera. Just for a while.

God has gifted Christ many talents and gifts, music is one. The Lord through Chris has produced a whole album of Psalms in song. Also music written by the Holy Spirit, praising and worshiping our Faithful Father in Heaven and Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:19. speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

Klaudia is a dedicated intercessor for the Lord, praying corporately with fellow intercessors for our nation and nations.

1 Timothy 2:1-4. Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 

For this isgood and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

We are enjoying a lovely time of fellowship, together with local, beloved, family in Christ.

As always, in Christ, I am very blessed to be waiting on Him. I am very excited to see where Jesus leads me next.

As I was taking the decals of Souls for Christ off the trailer, I asked the Lord, “do You really want me to take these off“. In the Spirit. He said to me,“for a new season to come, the one before has to pass.”

Daniel 2:20-22.  Daniel answered and said:

“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
For wisdom and might are His.
And He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
He reveals deep and secret things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And light dwells with Him.

Even though, my season with beloved brothers in Christ, Logen and Pio has come to an end. I know in my heart, this mighty work of the Lord, will continue to produce fruit, in many seasons to come.

Only God, can water these seeds of Christ, sown in the millions of souls, by the many labourers in Christ, in all the nations. I trust in the Lord, that even the millions of seeds sown by preachers, through the ears of the rebellious and the ignorant, walking by, will be watered by Him. We pray nothing will be wasted.

1 Corinthians 3:5-8. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

John 4:34-38. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 

And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 

For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.” For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

We trust in Your word Father God, it will not return void, but accomplish what You please.

Isaiah 55:11. So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

So now, with all these things been declared, I wait on You Lord to renew my strength, to prepare your vessel, to be ready for the next season.

Isaiah 40:31. But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

As my mission and season, has now finished with my brothers in Christ, Logen and Pio, this will be the last post on this blog. This blog will remain active on Souls For Christ website as a record of what Jesus has accomplished. Which will be still open to the public to view and leave comments.

However we will be starting a new blog next to the first as a record for the new season. To also continue posting the words of encouragement, Holy Spirit gives me to share.

As always we are in a time of maturing and growing in Christ. Yielding to Holy Spirits leading to prepare our vessels for the new wine, fullness in body and flavour. Able to stretch and expand into the fullness of the new season.

Isaiah 55:1-7 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—

The sure mercies of David.
Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”

Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

That we may bear witness of the new and wonderful thing, that will spring fourth like a fountain of living water. Flowing through all the dry places, bringing fourth life in abundance! Amen!

Isaiah 43:7-19. Everyone who is called by My name,
Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
And the deaf who have ears.
Let all the nations be gathered together,
And let the people be assembled.
Who among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.

Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
I, even I, am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no saviour.
I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no foreign god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God.
Indeed before the day was, I am He;
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I work, and who will reverse it?”

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon,
And bring them all down as fugitives—
The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
I am the Lord, your Holy One,
The Creator of Israel, Your King.”

Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea
And a path through the mighty waters,
Who brings forth the chariot and horse,
The army and the power
(They shall lie down together, they shall not rise;
They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):
“Do not remember the former things,

Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

All honour, glory and praise to our Saviour and King, Lord Jesus Christ.

King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Revelation 19:11-16. Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 

He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

Praise you Jesus! for You are Holy,

Your grace has spread across New Zealand, hallelujah!

Hello family in Christ, we are back in Tokoroa, brother Pio’s home town, and our final outreach for the tour.

From here we will travel to Auckland, which will be quite a drive. But we are keen to get back home to rest.

Today, another beautiful day in God’s creation. We needed to attend to laundry and there is a laundromat right where we will do outreach.

We set up the table, right outside, with many new tracts, calendar’s and bibles from Maori Postal Aotearoa. Well the community was certainly blesses, as they loved the calendars and comic bibles.

2 Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

We met brother in Christ, Lenny at the camp site. We enjoyed a lovey fellowship together.

Lenny shared some powerful testimonies of how God led him to New Zealand from Samoa. How he got a job as a Fitter Welder, then trained as a fully qualified engineer, praise God.

Later on, the Lord gave him a farm, which was transformed from an unusable land, into a land producing much fruit and accomodation for all his family, glory to Jesus.

Ezekiel 36:33-36 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. 

So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 

Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”

In our time on the street in Tokoroa, much seed was sown and a mighty harvest was produced for the Kingdom of Heaven, Thank You Holy Spirit.

We witnessed thirty seven precious souls, all give their hearts to Jesus, praise God. Many people received the bilingual bible scriptures, books, calendars and drinks, glory to Jesus.

Ephesians 2:4-5. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

1 Peter 2:24.  For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

We headed back to camp for a rest, before our four hour journey back home.

God bless you all, we hope, this blog, led by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

About Tokoroa…

Tokoroa is the fourth-largest town in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand and largest settlement in the South Waikato District. Located 30 km southwest of Rotorua and 20 km south of Putāruru, close to the foot of the Mamaku Ranges, it is midway between Taupō and Hamilton on State Highway 1.

History and culture

Early history

Tokoroa was the name of a chief of the Ngāti Kahupungapunga, who was slain by Raukawa during the siege of Pōhaturoa, a volcanic plug adjacent to Ātiamuri, 27 km south of Tokoroa. This battle took place around 1600 as the Ngāti Raukawa moved into the southern Waikato. The name Tokoroa first appeared on the early maps of the 1860s, although this was for an area 50 km north east of today’s Tokoroa.

Hallelujah! another beautiful day in the presence of our blessed Lord.

Hello family, today is our last day for outreach in Taupo, our second to last outreach for this national outreach tour.

We set up outreach in the same place as usual and were loaded up with plenty of calendars and comic bibles from Maori Postal Aotearoa.

We witnessed with tracts again, sharing the best news in the world, the free gift of salvation through the only saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

2 Corinthians 9:15. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Being a Saturday the streets were busier than usual. Holy Spirit was moving powerfully, as many people, decided to accept Jesus into their hearts, glory to Him.

We also ministered with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, we met on the street.

I met a woman who professed to be a Jehova Witness. She asked me if I believe Jesus is God. Of course I said yes, but she did not believe so.

She said she did read the King James Bible as well, so I asked her if we could go to John 1. We read from John 1:1-14 and pointed out verse 1, In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God and the Word was God. Then verse 14, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

John 1:1-14. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John’s Witness: The True Light

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Word Becomes Flesh

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

She still focused on the Word was with God, but I know this was a divine appointment for her. She departed, thankful for the fellowship and powerful seed of Christ, planted, Amen.

We continued to witness until 4pm, seeing sixty four people give their hearts to Jesus, Thank You Holy Spirit. We then headed back to camp, praise God.

God bless you all, we hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

About Taupō…

Taupō, sometimes written Taupo, is a town located in the central North Island of New Zealand. It is situated on the edge of Lake Taupō, which is the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand. Taupō was constituted as a borough in 1953. It has been the seat of Taupō District Council since the council was formed in 1989.

Taupō is the largest urban area of the Taupō District, and the second-largest urban area in the Waikato region, behind Hamilton. It has a population of approximately 27,000 (June 2025). Taupō is known for its natural beauty, with the surrounding area offering a range of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, skiing, and water sports. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of attractions, including the Wairakei Power Station, Huka Falls, and the Tongariro National Park.

Naming

The name Taupō is from the Māori language and is a shortened version of Taupō-nui-a-Tia. The longer name was first given to the cliff at Pākā Bay, on the eastern shore of the lake, and means the “great cloak of Tia”. It was named for Tia, the Māori explorer who discovered the lake. Māori later applied the name to the lake itself.  In 2019 the official name of the town was changed from Taupo to Taupō.

Although the English pronunciation “tow-po” is widespread, it is often regarded as incorrect, and the Māori pronunciation, “toe-paw” is generally preferred in formal use.

Wikipedia

Hello Family in Christ. After arriving in Taupo the previous day, we are ready to go out onto the streets of Taupo, to share Jesus with anyone who has an ear to hear.

As usual we prayed and interceded over the town, binding up and pulling down all demonic strongholds. We then walked around a while, asking the Lord where the best place to outreach is.

Mathew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Mathew 18:18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

While walking around I met Katja from Netherland and Tara from Argentina, who both accepted Jesus into their hearts.

Thank You Father God, that You made this divine appointment for my new friends in Christ. Who came from the other side of the world to find You and life in abundance through Your beautiful Son Lord Jesus Christ, our saviour, Amen.

Mathew 24:14. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

I came to a location, where a walk-through passes straight through three blocks of retail shops. And who do I find there, brother Pio, bless him, already witnessing to people.

We met Maori, a local resident, who knew a little about what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross, but had not received Him into his life yet.

He was more than ready to invite Christ, the light and hope of glory, into his life, praise God, Thank You Holy Spirit.

Colossians 1:27-29. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 

To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

We met sister in Christ Makarita, who was thrilled to receive a calendar from Maori Postal Aotearoa. We enjoyed a lovely fellowship for a time, as we praised God our Father for all He has done in our lives, Amen.

Psalm 9:1. I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

By 4.00pm we had recorded thirty three blessed names into the record. Now precious family in Christ, who have declared Jesus their Lord and Saviour.

Psalm 118:21. I will praise You,
For You have answered me,
And have become my salvation.

Every day we will continue to pray and intercede for every single precious soul wem have prayed over and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, knowing that God is the one who waters and gives the increase. But we also know that we all have the greatest intercessor of all, Lord Jesus Christ.

We pray collectively over the record, as there are too many to pray for individually, glory to Jesus.

Ephesians 6:18. praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

Hebrews 7:25. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

Friday 13th March we returned to the same location in the morning. Another beautiful hot day, Thank You Lord.

This time, a man sharing another doctrine, was there, giving out books. We discerned, he may be Buddhist. I went over to inquire about what he was sharing. When he saw me coming towards him, he immediately screamed at me “I’m not religious, and stay away from me or I will call the police!”

We know of course, we are always in a spiritual battle, as the evidence of this spirit manifested, in such an uncontrollable manner.

I just smiled and turned back to the other side of the road. I then started taking authority over that spirit, binding and silencing it in Jesus mighty name.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,  

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Ephesians 6:10-18. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

I also prayed for a divine appointment for the man, to be delivered of all deception. And to receive a revelation of truth and of God’s unconditional love for him, through His beautiful life giving Son, Jesus Christ.

Mathew 5:44-48. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 

that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?

Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Brother Pio, immediately went across the other side to witness to people. The man, kept his distance and was not aggressive anymore. But he was very persistent in approaching people and stayed for a couple of hours.

As Jesus said, many will be deceived in the last days. God had positioned us here, this day to counter the enemies lies.

Mathew 24:4-5. And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Everyday we are out on the street, we see God’s hand moving. We witness His power touching people as they light up with fire from the Holy Spirit, igniting, faith and hope in Christ their Saviour.

Colossians 1:12-14. giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Holy Spirit drew in twenty nine precious souls out of darkness and into the glorious arms of our only Saviour. The Truth, The Way, The Life of our risen King, Lord Jesus Christ.

John 14:16. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Psalm 103:1-5. Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

God bless you all, We hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

About Taupo…

Taupō, sometimes written Taupo, is a town located in the central North Island of New Zealand. It is situated on the edge of Lake Taupō, which is the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand. Taupō was constituted as a borough in 1953. It has been the seat of Taupō District Council since the council was formed in 1989.

Taupō is the largest urban area of the Taupō District, and the second-largest urban area in the Waikato region, behind Hamilton. It has a population of approximately 27,000 (June 2025). Taupō is known for its natural beauty, with the surrounding area offering a range of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, skiing, and water sports. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of attractions, including the Wairakei Power Station, Huka Falls, and the Tongariro National Park.

Naming

The name Taupō is from the Māori language and is a shortened version of Taupō-nui-a-Tia. The longer name was first given to the cliff at Pākā Bay, on the eastern shore of the lake, and means the “great cloak of Tia”. It was named for Tia, the Māori explorer who discovered the lake. Māori later applied the name to the lake itself. In 2019 the official name of the town was changed from Taupo to Taupō.

Although the English pronunciation “tow-po” is widespread, it is often regarded as incorrect, and the Māori pronunciation, “toe-paw” is generally preferred in formal use.

Hello Family in Christ. Today we are in Otorohanga witnessing on the streets with tracts.

Brother Moses and Anne gave us a contact, for a local church to connect with and refer people to. So we called up Pastor Peter from Harvest Church, which happened to be across the road from where we were parked.

He was in the office so we popped in for a visit. Ps Peter invited us in and gave us a tour of the church building, which was an old commercial workshop.

There is a rock climbing wall in the main hall and Peter explained that this is a vision the Lord gave him to draw the local community to Jesus, Praise God.

There is a fold down stage just behind, where brothers Pio and Peter are standing.

Peter shared with us how the Lord miraculously acquired the building for a low price and set it all up. He explained how the ministry has many branches into the community.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Their involvement in the schools, getting to know all the local families and helping then in what ever situations may arise.

Galatians 6:2 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Hebrews 13:16. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Philippians 2:2-5.  fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

They also invite schools and community around the region to rock climbing sessions at the church building. A very powerful outreach, connecting community with Jesus, our Saviour. Praise God and Glory to Jesus.

And Thank You Lord that while some people thought the rock climbing in a church building was inappropriate, Ps Peter stood firm on Your leading. Now, through his obedience, a mighty harvest and fruit, for the Kingdom of Heaven, is produced, Amen.

Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Galatians 1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Proverbs 29:25. The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

After our lovely fellowship with Ps Peter, we continued with the outreach. Ps Peter had given us cards to hand out to the people, for referral to Harvest Church.

There were a few people out and about as we picked a side each of the Main Street to share Jesus with the locals.

Praise the Lord for His presence, as thirty people stopped to pray with us, accepting Jesus into their blessed hearts, Thank You Holy Spirit.

The next day was our day of rest, so we decided to stay one more day, then depart the following day.

Moses and Anne were happy for us to stay and continued to bless us with their generosity and hospitality, glory to Jesus. Everyday breakfast, lunch, dinner were served at the end of the day, praise God.

Everyday after dinner, we would worship and give thanks to the Lord together, for an hour. Also praying and interceding for salvation of the region and outreaches.

We Thank You Lord, for Moses and Anne, who are a great blessing to all those around them. Thank You Jesus, for Your love, kindness and living water that overflows through them in abundance.

John 5:16. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Isaiah 58:11-12. The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

God bless you all, we hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

Hello friends in Christ. Today we travelled to another family in Christ, near Otorohanga. Marama Day from Whanganui had connected us with Moses and Anne Anderson, who live on a farm there.

Moses and Anne welcomed us with open arms when we arrived. We parked up next to the homestead. We were invited in for dinner and worship, which was really lovely.

We got to know a little of the history of the family land and homestead, which has stayed in the family for many years.

We met brother in Christ Dzaiah, who had come out to help out his Koro on the farm for the weekend. We enjoyed a great time of fellowship and were able to minister with him, many truths from the word of God, Thank You Holy Spirit.

We also prayed together and he really got touched by God right then and there, Thank You Jesus. We were also able to get a bible into his hands, which he greatly appreciated and immediately started reading, praise God.

I sensed God has a mighty calling upon this young man’s life, and all glory will go to Jesus, Amen.

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The next day we headed off to Te Kuiti. Being a Sunday we all decided to fellowship at Harvest AOG. We enjoyed a great testimony from a local sister in Christ, who was led by The Lord to moved to France.

After she had married, they miraculously bought land in the City, that God developed into a fully equiped ministry. Many local people have come to know Jesus through outreaches around the City, praise God glory to Jesus.

15:7-8. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

We met Pastor Terry there, who has just been appointed lead Pastor for AOG, over the pacific region.

1 Peter 5:2-4. Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

After service we looked for the busiest place in town and ended up at New World. The Main Street was quiet, due to it being Sunday, with most shops closed.

We spent some time at New World, with one of us each side of the entrance. We gave out free calendars and tracts to the local shoppers.

A woman took exception to me praying for people and laid a complaint against me with the staff inside. The manager came out to move me on, so we gracefully exited the premises.

But not before the Lord received a good harvest of souls. All who accepted Jesus into their hearts without any pressure, but through God’s love, in The Holy Spirit. Thank You Holy Spirit.

1 John 4:15-19. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.

The accuser often comes through fear, or a rebellious spirit. But we who stand on the Rock and dwell in the house of the Lord, are NEVER shaken! We have been purchased and justified by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony, Amen.

Psalm 23:6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

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.

As we were leaving town we came across a large Samoan family, enjoying a picnic, near the Main Road. Holy Spirit prompted us to stop and pray for them. Brother Pio also handed out free calendars, praise God.

So today, thanks to You Holy Spirit, Jesus received twenty nine precious souls into His arms, Hallelujah!

God bless you all, We hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

Hello family in Christ, After hearing some of brother Dayton’s testimony, we decided to ask Dayton to share in a video, and he gladly accepted.

So we introduce to you, brother in Christ and fellow evangelist, Dayton Davis from New Plymouth.

God has blessed Dayton with a mini music studio at home and through the Holy Spirit, he writes music to sing on the street.

1 Peter 4:10-11  As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

We are very encouraged to hear brother Dayton using the gifts God has given him, for the Kingdom of Heaven. He knows people need Jesus and is actively sharing the good news and doing the word.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6. There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.

James 1:22. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

In doing so, he is storing up treasures in Heaven, praise God and glory to Jesus.

Mathew 6:19-21 NKJ. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

What are you doing for Jesus ?

Have you got your light up on the lamp stand for everyone to see ?

Is your lamp filled with oil ? ( Holy Spirit )

When you pass from this wold, what treasure have you stored up?

Have you stored up worthless earthly treasure for yourself, that has no value in the Kingdom of Heaven ?

Or are you obedient to the Lord’s leading, to use your gifts and talents, for His glory ?

We know that God does not wish that any should perish, but they perish due to lack of knowledge.

True wealth is the things we do for Jesus, or in other words, the works He does through a surrendered vessel. (reaching out to those in need or lost )

We already have received our inheritance and invitation to the wedding feast. Many have been invited, but were not willing to come.

The King of Kings sends us, His servants, out to the highways, to fill the wedding hall.

Will you go if He sends you ?

Or more importantly, will you be going to the wedding feast and do you have the correct wedding garment on ?

Mathew 22:1-14 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 

Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.  And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 

But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 

Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 

Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

May the fruit of your branch, connected to Jesus, produce a mighty yield for the Kingdom of Heaven.

John 15:5-6. 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 donothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

God bless you all, We hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

Hello friends in Christ. Today is our last day of evangelising in New Plymouth.

We have really enjoyed our time here, as many people have been open to hearing the good news.

Also our beloved brothers in Christ, David and Paul, have been wonderful hosts. Preparing wonderful meals for us each night and even a bed for brother Pio.

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

As usual, before heading out onto the street, we went into prayer with our God and Creator, interceding for the people of New Plymouth.

Taking authority over all demonic strongholds and asking the Lord to go before us, to bring across our path the many predestined divine appointments, Amen.

Luke 10:19. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We then loaded up with calendars and tracts, to hand out to the New Plymouth community.

Before heading to centre City Mall, we visited other area’s of Main Street, to cover more ground. We met a man waiting for his partner at their car. He was happy for me to share Jesus with him, not knowing much about the Saviour of the world.

He gladly invited Jesus into his heart, repenting of all his sin. He declared Him his Lord and Saviour and we rejoiced together, praise God, Gory to Jesus.

Acts 3:19. Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord

Soldier for Christ, Dayton was out front of the mall entrance again, when we arrived, this time with a friend. Shining their beautiful lights of Christ, for all to see and hear, Amen.

Ephesians 5:8. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

John 8:12. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

We met, new brother in Christ outside the mall. He did not hesitate to say yes to prayer. God had prepared him for this divine appointment today.

I sensed, in this moment, the seed of Christ fell into well cultivated soil. He left with the hope in Christ, firmly planted, Amen. Thank You Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 53:10. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.

We met many people as they passed by, Thank You Holy Spirit. We handed out many calendars and tracts to the public.

Seventy people prayed with us to receive Jesus into their hearts as Holy Spirit ministered with them the revelation of Christ, our Holy High Priest and hope of glory.

Colossians 1:27. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Brother David, invited us over for dinner again, so we headed around to His home. We decided to park the bus and van, on the side of the road, out front for the night. We enjoyed yet another lovely meal and fellowship together, praise God.

Thank You Jesus for connecting us with beautiful brothers and sisters around New Zealand. By Your Spirit, You flow through each of us in unity and love. Praise Your Holy name Jesus.

Ephesians 4:1-6 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Galatians 3:26-29. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

1 Peter 3:8. Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous

God bless you all, We hope, this blog, lead by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

With love from your brother in Christ.

Hello family in Christ. Today we are heading back to the mall. We found the mall entrance to be the busiest spot and brother Dayton said he will be back there preaching.

We were positioned around the entrance and Dayton was singing and dancing along to gospel music, playing on a small speaker. Many people were walking past and hearing the Word of God.

Psalm 30:11-12 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

We handed out many free 2026 calendars and tracts. The calendars are from Maori Postal Aotearoa, which have lovely scenic pictures of God’s creation and a bible scripture for each month, written in Te Red Maori and English. They are very popular and give us an opportunity to share Jesus.

The brightness of Jesus, flows from the inside of brother Daytz, to the outside, as you can clearly see.

Isaiah 60:19. The sun shall no longer be your light by day,
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
And your God your glory.

From left, brother Pio, Rameka and David Malcom.

Rameka said, he has been curious about Jesus for sometime. We talked with him about what Jesus accomplished at the cross for us and him, sharing the good news.

1 Corinthians 9:16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

I absolutely love this verse because if we are sharing Jesus, we are not boasting in ourselves! We boast in our King of kings, Jesus!

Well he was more than ready to accept Jesus into his heart, as he repented of all his sins and forgave all those who had hurt him. He called out to Jesus to come into his life and make him born again.

John 3:8. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

This is always a very joyous occasion, as we sensed an open Heaven above us. The joy and celebration, shining down onto Rameka from above.

Luke 15:7. I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Bother David called in for a while, as he too was out evangelising, travelling a daily circuit, through the city and along the expansive board walk, following the coast. His home is close by, so he travels on an electric skateboard. A great talking point to start a conversation.

David and Paul evangelise together a lot, ministering and helping local homeless people. Through brother Paul, the Lord is gifting a caravan to a homeless man who they have been ministering with, praise God.

Mathew 25:37-40. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it  to Me.

We Thank You Father God, for Your out pouring of mercy and love to all the people that You placed before us. Thank You for the seventy seven precious souls, You drew into Yourself. We praise You Jesus.

We trust in You Jesus, that You will water them, with Your living water. To lead and guide them on Your predestined path of righteousness and eternal life, in You Jesus, Amen.

Revelation 22:1. And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

God bless you all, We hope, this blog, led by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.

New Plymouth is the major city of the Taranaki region on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is named after the English city of Plymouth, in Devon, from where the first English settlers to New Plymouth migrated. The New Plymouth District, which includes New Plymouth City and several smaller towns, is the 10th largest district (out of 67) in New Zealand, and has a population of 90,100 – about two-thirds of the total population of the Taranaki region and 1.7% of New Zealand’s population. This includes New Plymouth City (60,200), Waitara (7,720), Inglewood (3,970), Ōakura (1,780), Ōkato (561) and Urenui (429).^[2]

The city itself is a service centre for the region’s principal economic activities, including intensive pastoral activities (mainly dairy farming) as well as oil, natural gas and petrochemical exploration and production. It is also the region’s financial centre as the home of the TSB Bank (formerly the Taranaki Savings Bank), the largest of the remaining non-government New Zealand-owned banks.

Notable features are the botanic garden (i.e. Pukekura Park), the critically acclaimed Len Lye Centre and Art Gallery, the 13 km (8.1 mi) New Plymouth Coastal Walkway alongside the Tasman Sea, the Len Lye-designed 45-metre-tall (148 ft) artwork known as the Wind Wand, Paritutu Rock, and views of Mount Taranaki.

New Plymouth was awarded the most liveable city (for a population between 75,000–150,000) by the International Awards for Liveable Communities in 2021. In 2023, New Plymouth was awarded New Zealand’s most beautiful small city by Keep New Zealand Beautiful.^[3] It also won multiple awards in 2008. The city was in 2010 chosen as one of two walking & cycling “Model Communities” by the government. Based on New Plymouth’s already positive attitude towards cyclists and pedestrians, the city received $3.71m to invest into infrastructure and community programmes to boost walking and cycling.^[4]

Hallelujah! another beautiful day in the house of the Lord! Today we are back in central New Plymouth.

Psalm 34:3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

The wind had settled and it was a lovely day. Brother Pio met a couple of brothers in Christ, David and Paul, who were there looking for a homeless man, whom they had been ministering with.

We fellowshipped together for sometime, then decided to head into the City Centre for outreach.

Once again we split up to cover a greater area, witnessing with tracts. We walked up town again, witnessed to many people, coming and going from the local shops and cafe’s.

We met many people, including this young man, who didn’t hesitate to give his heart to Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:21. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

When we got down to the mall, we met local brother in Christ Daytz Davis. He was singing gospel music, dancing and preaching next to the entrance.

We immediately sensed the anointing in his music with the Lord. So we decided to stay there for the rest of the day and Jesus reaped a mighty harvest, of sixty four precious souls, praise God.

Psalm 28:8. The Lord is their strength,
And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.

Psalm 45:7. You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

We are very encouraged to met three evangelists here in New Plymouth in two days, Praise God.

John 9:4. I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

We received call from Brother David Who kindly invited us over for dinner, wow what a blessing! Thank You Lord. We enjoyed a lovely time of beautiful food and fellowship. David then invited Brother Pio to sleep opver for the night in his spare room, praise God. People are so generous.

Hebrews 3:1-5. Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

God bless you all in your ministries with Jesus, to produce 100-fold harvests for the Kingdom of Heaven, Amen.

Mark 10:30. So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.

God bless you all, We hope, this blog, led by the Holy Spirit, has encouraged and edified you, in your walk with Jesus.
