138. 18-Feb 2026: Evangelising in Richmond

Thank you Father, for blessing us with another beautiful day in the Nelson region.

Today we are back in Richmond, witnessing around the Mall. We called in to Don and Diane’s home to pick up the booklets.

Don and Diane Ross shared their powerful ministry with Jesus over the past years. They were missionaries, sharing Jesus on Russian ships.

God had given them one thousand bibles, written in Russian, to distribute to the sailors and people abroad. They shared how God made a way for each of these precious bibles to get into the hands of people all around the world, praise God.

At the same time He protected them and they found favour though some dangerous times.

Psalm 18:28-30 For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

God showed them a confirmation once, of how one bible made it through to a region in Russia. That one bible was copied and transferred to many towns up a coastline, where thousands of people received the life and light of Christ, praise God. Who know’s God’s wonderful plans, but those who trust in Him, to lead them, Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:6. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Ecclesiastes 11:5. As you do not know what is the way of the wind,
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

We witnessed to the people in the same area’s around and in the Mall. Holy Spirit worked powerfully, turning twenty six people to Jesus and sowing many seeds of life, glory to Jesus.

Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
As the Lord has said,
Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.

We met brother in Christ, Johnathan and family outside Kmart again. We enjoyed fellowship once again, praise God.

Johnathan said he showed the tract we gave him, to a paster at his Church. They were impressed with it. Johnathan asked if he could have a few, for outreach. We gladly gave him a good stack of tracts and the details of the resource ministry distributing them for free. Amen.

Psalm 96:3. Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all peoples.

Thank You Father God, for all Your divine leadings, connecting us with Your beloved children. We are one big family thanks to your beautiful Son Jesus. Thank You Jesus for Your perfect love, joy and peace, flowing through each of us. Thank You Holy Spirit for helping us to unite in The Truth, The Way and The Life of Jesus The Christ.

Ephesians 2:19-22. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

God bless you all with cups overflowing, with the goodness of God, in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.

About Richmond

Richmond is a town and the seat of the Tasman District Council in New Zealand. It lies 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Nelson in the South Island, close to the southern extremity of Tasman Bay. The town, first settled by Europeans in 1842,[4] was named in 1854 after the town of Richmond on Thames near London. The town has an estimated population of 19,950 as of June 2025.[3]

Although most of Richmond lies outside the boundaries of Nelson City and the town is considered a separate urban area, Richmond is part of the wider Nelson metropolitan area along with nearby BrightwaterHopeMāpua and Wakefield.[5] The two unitary authorities (Nelson and Tasman) co-operate for tourism-marketing purposes via “Latitude Nelson”. As of 2020 Richmond forms part of the Nelson parliamentary electorate.
