Hello Family in Christ. Today we are in Otorohanga witnessing on the streets with tracts.
Brother Moses and Anne gave us a contact, for a local church to connect with and refer people to. So we called up Pastor Peter from Harvest Church, which happened to be across the road from where we were parked.
He was in the office so we popped in for a visit. Ps Peter invited us in and gave us a tour of the church building, which was an old commercial workshop.
There is a rock climbing wall in the main hall and Peter explained that this is a vision the Lord gave him to draw the local community to Jesus, Praise God.
There is a fold down stage just behind, where brothers Pio and Peter are standing.
Peter shared with us how the Lord miraculously acquired the building for a low price and set it all up. He explained how the ministry has many branches into the community.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Their involvement in the schools, getting to know all the local families and helping then in what ever situations may arise.
Galatians 6:2 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Hebrews 13:16. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Philippians 2:2-5. fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
They also invite schools and community around the region to rock climbing sessions at the church building. A very powerful outreach, connecting community with Jesus, our Saviour. Praise God and Glory to Jesus.
And Thank You Lord that while some people thought the rock climbing in a church building was inappropriate, Ps Peter stood firm on Your leading. Now, through his obedience, a mighty harvest and fruit, for the Kingdom of Heaven, is produced, Amen.
Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Galatians 1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Proverbs 29:25. The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
After our lovely fellowship with Ps Peter, we continued with the outreach. Ps Peter had given us cards to hand out to the people, for referral to Harvest Church.
There were a few people out and about as we picked a side each of the Main Street to share Jesus with the locals.
Praise the Lord for His presence, as thirty people stopped to pray with us, accepting Jesus into their blessed hearts, Thank You Holy Spirit.
The next day was our day of rest, so we decided to stay one more day, then depart the following day.
Moses and Anne were happy for us to stay and continued to bless us with their generosity and hospitality, glory to Jesus. Everyday breakfast, lunch, dinner were served at the end of the day, praise God.
Everyday after dinner, we would worship and give thanks to the Lord together, for an hour. Also praying and interceding for salvation of the region and outreaches.
We Thank You Lord, for Moses and Anne, who are a great blessing to all those around them. Thank You Jesus, for Your love, kindness and living water that overflows through them in abundance.
John 5:16. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Isaiah 58:11-12. The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
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.
