Hello family.

Another supernaturally blessed day in Lower Hutt. We started at Naenae train station at 7.00am in the morning, to catch the morning commuters.

The Holy Spirit really worked through Sharyn around the station and tunnel, drawing in a great harvest for the Kingdom of Heaven.

By 9.30 Jesus had miraculously received 94 salvations.

I met Pai and Talea.

A lovely couple who love Jesus. I prayed for them a few requests to our Lord, and we enjoyed an edifying fellowship.

Thank you Holy Spirit.

We, Jesus and I prayed healing for a poor man suffering from a goitre on His neck. He also accepted Jesus as his personal Saviour, praise God.

We thank You Jesus for his healing and restoration of his blessed soul. Amen.

Jeremiah 17:4 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise.

I also prayed prayed for a man who had come to The Faith in his childhood, but lost it and had been suffering ever since.

I prayed some deliverance over him and he started to pray the salvation prayer with me, but stopped at forgiveness. He was struggling to forgive a family member who betrayed him early in his life.

The Holy Spirit ministered with him about the effects of unforgiveness and how we must forgive or God won’t forgive us. He finally decided to forgive, and I sensed a huge weight lift off him.

He went all the way through the salvation prayer receiving deliverance, restoration and salvation. Thank You Jesus.

Mark 11:25. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

Afterwards we went to check out a new potential site to park the buses, at a sister in Christ’s home in Lower Hutt. Our time at Silverstream retreat had expired, so now it was time to move on.

The Lord found us a new location, 2 days before we had to leave. How amazing is our Father in Heaven!! You truly are so very faithful, thank You Father God – So ever faithful.

Lamentations 3:22-23. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

We then went home for a rest until 2.30pm. After resting, we arrived at Queensgate mall.

Logen was on one side of the intersection and myself on the other side. There are busy bus stops next to the mall and many people going to and fro from the mall entrance, right on the pedestrian crossing.

The Lord set up 106 salvations this afternoon, all divine appointments.

Some seemed more miraculous than others, as I witnessed peoples hearts being stirred enough to stop and receive prayer.

A few weren’t going to stop, but God touched them as I reached out to them. This is how we know, none of this work is our doing. It is all God, working through us. Servants of the Most High, Almighty God in Christ Jesus.

Mark 9:35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.“

Praise God, another wonderful day. Tomorrow we are back in Cuba Mall for another barbecue. Looking forward to yet another miraculous day.

God bless you all, my beloved family.

With love from your brother in Christ,

Paul

    Hi Paul

    Just read your blog about your naenae outreach. It all sounds really great. Unfortunately the stories my kids told me about their experience at Naenae centre with you and your team are quite different.

    As I understand it, two of our children age 11 and nearly 14 were separately approached on the way to school. It was demanded of both of them that they recite the Lord’s Prayer and they were told they risked hell if they did not accept Jesus. My daughters friend had a woman following her down the subway trying to get her to take a tractor which she had refused.

    For context, my son is a sincere Christian, baptized as a believer age 11 after seeing a vision of Jesus. He serves in the worship team at our church and is forthright about his faith at school, bringing others along to youth group. My daughter is also sincere in her faith and working towards believers baptism.

    Despite this, both children felt deeply uncomfortable with their separate encounters. My son said he felt “forced” to repeat the prayer, unable to offer any resistance, and embarrassed in front of his friends at the behaviour of fellow believers. I understand that there was no real conversation so no opportunity for any sincere response to the gospel. Rather my son was told he was a “disgrace” and that “we are all disgraces”. Both kids simply did as had been demanded of them reciting the prayer as they felt this was safer for them.

    Are my Christian children included in your quoted number of salvation at Naenae having submitted to the prayers? If so, I suggest you count two fewer as they have each made their own personal comittments unrelated to the out reach in question.

    My own daily prayer for Naenae and the world is “thy kingdom come” but I fear that such encounters with Christians, where respect for others right not to engage is not maintained and children feel unsafe, is likely to do far more harm than good to that goal.

    It is not culturally acceptable in New Zealand to make agressive approaches to others on the street whether you’re a charity wanting to sign up donors, a utility provider or a Christian wanting someone to pray the sinners prayer. In this instance it is even more concerning given that the targets were unaccompanied minors in a community not your own.

    This is not to question your motives or sincere concern for the eternal destiny of other which is evident in your blog. It is simply to remind you that the METHOD must always match the MESSAGE. Our Lord places the highest value on respect for others and their free choice, so we must as well even as are prepared to give a reasoned account of the hope we have in Jesus.

    If you have a heart to reach the community in Naenae or can assure you that God is already at work amongst us and through us. Rather than this “pray and disappear,” approach you could consider partnering respectfully with what God is already doing here through one of the local churches with active ministries in our community. Te Puna Manawa at Naenae Centre is the outreach space for St Davids where food and Christian fellowship is shared with young and old. Oasis Church also has vibrant childrens, young persons and wider community ministries.

    Kind regards,

      Hi Rebekah,

      Thank you for your feedback.
      We are sorry to hear your children were embarrassed or mocked by their peers after praying with us.
      Jesus said the world hated Him and will hate us who believe in Him.
      We are not aware that anyone was pressured to receive the precious gift of salvation through Jesus.
      However we will examine our personal approach to people to ensure we are flowing in His perfect love at all times.

      Our approach is always with love, joy and peace. We understand, it is only the love of God through us that draws people into the Kingdom of Heaven. He will never force people to come to Him, because He is a God of love, not a dictator.

      Typically we approach all people to ask if we can pray with them. They either say yes or no.
      If no, we bless them and they move on. If yes, I ask if they know anything about what Jesus did for them at the cross. Most people know very little. Then I explain the gospel to them and then ask if I can pray the salvation prayer for them. Most people say yes after hearing the Good News.

      Sometimes people have already given their hearts to Jesus in the past, so we just pray blessings over them.
      Or sometimes it is a rededication, which is always good, because the salvation prayer addresses any unforgiveness or sin, bringing them into repentance.

      We do record peoples first names so we can continue praying for them. We will continue to pray blessings upon you and your family.

      We have been referring people to Hope Centre Church, which is where we have been fellowshipping since we have been here in Wellington. They have an amazing discipleship, worship and love for the people in Wellington region.

      We are thrilled to hear the good work The Lord is doing through your family and church, praise God, glory to Jesus. May The Lord strengthen you all, to use your gifts mightily for the Kingdom of Heaven.

      We are completely led by The Spirit of God and He will continue to refine His outreach.
      Jesus has put on our hearts to reach out to the lost souls in these last days.

      God bless you all in Jesus name.

      Your brother in Christ,

      Paul

      Souls for Christ

        Thank you for your reply Paul
        Im most grateful for your assurance that you will seriously consider my feedback, especially with regard to so assertively approaching children.

        Given that you indicate a connection with Hope Centre in Wellington I would strongly encourage you to meet with the leadership of that church regarding your ministry, methods and referal process. I had a phone conversation with Brendon from hope Centre Lower Hutt earlier this week and when we spoke he was unaware of who you are and your referal practice.

        Brendon struck me as a very sincere brother with great heart for the kingdom. He told me he has personally had some formal training in this ministry so might be a good person to discuss the significant community concerns with.

        Kind regards,

        Rebekah
