Hello Friends in Christ. Today is our final outreach in Whanganui. We are so blessed to be here, Thank You Lord Jesus Christ.
This morning we were invited to, two Church services, so brother Pio attended a worship and fellowship with Marama, and I joined brother Jason Malcolm, at Cliff Life Church.
Jason’s wife Carmel, preached a great word from one of my favourite chapters in the book of John, chapter 15. We are connected to the vine, that bears much fruit after pruning and to abide in Him at all times. Amen.
John 15:1-4 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 do nothing.
Jason, invited me up to share testimony, of what the Lord is doing through us in Souls For Christ. Holy Spirit laid on my heart to share how Jesus tore the veil for us so that we could enter into the throne room with Him. And that He would dwell within holy temples not built by man, but by Himself, in us.
Mark 14:58. We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
One of the worship songs we sang earlier was,” I Speak the Name of Jesus.” I said ” because Christ dwells within us. If we wait on Him, He will, give us the words to speak, we speak Jesus. His words carry power to heal and deliver, speaking life into those before us.”
John 10:2-4. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
This is why we need to die to self, so we are sensitive and obedient to His voice, through the Holy Spirit. His Living Water flows through us, and into the thirsty souls around us. Amen.
John 7:37-39. On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given,because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Another lovely day here as we head back out to the Main Street, after worshiping our beloved Lord Saviour, Jesus.
We split up to witness on the main street again, which is moderately busy. But Holy Spirit is still drawing the people to Jesus, as we witness forty nine people surrender their lives to Him, praise God.
Psalm 9:1. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
We then returned back to the Marae, where Marama invited us to join her and friends in Christ for a prayer and worship meeting, then dinner after.
We enjoyed a lovely time of worship and fellowship together, where one sister received prayer for healing.
We Thank You Jesus for a wonderful stay with our family in Whanganui. Thank You for all Your wonderful work of love in this region, through Your sons and daughters. Thank You for your everlasting blessing and favour upon their blessed hearts. Amen.
Psalm 28:7. Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all peoples.
For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;
He is also to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
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.
Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.
Paul

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]
