Hello Family in Christ.
We crossed over on the Blue Bridge Ferry, early Sunday morning. We arrived at Silver Stream retreat, where brother George greeted and lodged us in a lovely double studio, with a view.
We noticed earthworks in a large area there and George informed us, they are building a youth centre. We are really encouraged to hear this news, as we have seen a great number of youth coming to Jesus in the past year, particularly in the Wellington region, praise God, glory to Jesus.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
We visited our beloved sister Sharyn in hospital, anointing her with oil and and praying for her. We met sister Anne from Hope Church there caring for her. We are very thankful to Jesus for sending people to care and love on her. We know the Lord ‘s Angels are there ministering and comforting her too.
Psalm 91:11. For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
Hebrews 1:14. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
We also caught up with beloved sister Sharon, who kindly hosted us for a month when we were last in Wellington. She blessed us with a lovely lunch and fellowship.
Mathew 5:8. Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
We enjoyed our stay at Silver Stream Retreat, where we were able to relax and rest for three days.
25-February 2026
We then journeyed on to Fielding, for a stop over there at Timona Park freedom camp. Timona camp turned out to be one of the loveliest freedom camp’s we have been to. Similar to a motor camp with plenty of space. Nice grassed parking spots and facilities.
Brother Ricky called in for fellowship, which is always great, as we continue to surrender everything to Jesus.
Romans 12:1-2. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
While cooking dinner brother Pio noticed a man sleeping in a tent near us and invited him over for dinner. We met Jason, a lovely brother in Christ who is facing a few trials currently. We prayed for him and invited him to join us for breakfast the next morning.
We met brothers Ricky and Selwyn Stevens at a local cafe. We introduced brother Jason, who previously said he was looking for a Church. Well now he is planning to Join brother Rick at Activate church in Fielding, praise God.
Selwyn has become more involved recently, at Activate Church, establishing a wonderful discipleship course, which Jason can now benefit from, glory to Jesus, Hallelujah!
2 Timothy 2:2. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
We were blessed with a lovely breakfast and a meaty fellowship with our beloved brothers in Christ. After breakfast we departed from Fielding to head to Whanganui.
Selwyn had connected us with Marama Day in Whanganui, who invited us to stay with her, praise God.
Once again we thank You Father God, for You are always faithful in connecting us with Your children in the Kingdom of Heaven. Like the birds we never worry about our needs, for You know them all. Bless You Jesus, for making a way for us to be reunited with Him, our true Father. Only You Jesus, could have built a stairway to Heaven with two sticks.
Thank You for sending the Holy Spirit, the person who helps us along this narrow path, always pointing the way to Jesus and Father.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
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 Wellington…
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is located at the southwestern tip of the North Island, between Cook Strait and the Remutaka Range. Wellington is the third-largest city in New Zealand (second largest in the North Island),[c] and is the administrative centre of the Wellington Region. It is the world’s southernmost capital of a sovereign state.[18] Wellington features a temperate maritime climate, and is the world’s windiest city by average wind speed.[19]
Māori oral tradition tells that Kupe discovered and explored the region in about the 10th century. The area was initially settled by Māori iwi such as Rangitāne and Muaūpoko. The disruptions of the Musket Wars led to them being overwhelmed by northern iwi such as Te Āti Awa in the early 19th century.[20]
Wellington’s current form was originally designed by Captain William Mein Smith, the first Surveyor General for Edward Wakefield‘s New Zealand Company, in 1840.[21] Smith’s plan included a series of interconnected grid plans, expanding along valleys and lower hill slopes,[22] but without actually taking the terrain into account.[21] The Wellington urban area, which only includes urbanised areas within Wellington City, has a population of 209,800 as of June 2025.[12] The wider Wellington metropolitan area, including the cities of Lower Hutt, Porirua and Upper Hutt, has a population of 433,900 as of June 2025.[12] The city has served as New Zealand’s capital since 1865, a status that is not defined in legislation, but established by convention; the New Zealand Government and Parliament, the Supreme Court and most of the public service are based in the city.[23]
