Praise the Lord, yet another beautiful day in the beauty of your presence Jesus.
Today being Saturday we are very excited to outreach at the local market in Whanganui. Also next door is the Pakaitore Occupation celebration, where Local Maori come together in remembrance of that day in 1995.
On our way to the market we came to the Pakaitore celebration first, so we sensed this was where the Lord was leading us first.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
There were so many people here, enjoying the music and food. Lots of local school and sport fundraisers for the kids. We decided to just walk around witnessing to people, one on one.
However, we did pray for groups of youth at times too. Some of the youth would even come back with their friends or relatives to receive Jesus into their hearts, Praise God and glory to Jesus.
The atmosphere was peaceful and joyful. The Holy Spirit was moving powerfully as many people were open to receiving Jesus into their hearts. Actually One hundred and fifty seven precious souls declared Jesus their Lord and Saviour today, Glory to Him alone.
John 15:26 But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
Titus 3:5 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Praise God, we met a new brother in Christ, who did not hesitate to receive prayer and the gift of life in Christ Jesus.
Romans:8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
We ended up staying at the celebration all day. We looked for the market, but could’t find it, so we sensed, this was where the Lord wanted us.
Praise You Jesus for a wonderful day and thank You Holy Spirit for the many divine appointments.
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.
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 Whanganui…
Whanganui, also spelt Wanganui,[6] is a city in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand. The city is located on the west coast of the North Island at the mouth of the Whanganui River, New Zealand’s longest navigable waterway. Whanganui is the 19th most-populous urban area in New Zealand and the second-most-populous in Manawatū-Whanganui, with a population of 42,800 as of June 2025.[4]
Whanganui is the ancestral home of Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi and other Whanganui Māori tribes. The New Zealand Company began to settle the area in 1840, establishing its second settlement after Wellington. In the early years, most European settlers came via Wellington. Whanganui greatly expanded in the 1870s, and freezing works, woollen mills, phosphate works and wool stores were established in the town. Today, much of Whanganui’s economy relates directly to the fertile and prosperous farming hinterland.
Like several New Zealand urban areas, it was officially designated a city until an administrative reorganisation in 1989, and is now run by Whanganui District Council. In 2021 it was added to the Design Cities (UNESCO), becoming the only city of design to be located in New Zealand.[7]
