Praise you Jesus! for You are Holy,
Your grace has spread across New Zealand, hallelujah!
Hello family in Christ, we are back in Tokoroa, brother Pio’s home town, and our final outreach for the tour.
From here we will travel to Auckland, which will be quite a drive. But we are keen to get back home to rest.
Today, another beautiful day in God’s creation. We needed to attend to laundry and there is a laundromat right where we will do outreach.
We set up the table, right outside, with many new tracts, calendar’s and bibles from Maori Postal Aotearoa. Well the community was certainly blesses, as they loved the calendars and comic bibles.
2 Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
We met brother in Christ, Lenny at the camp site. We enjoyed a lovey fellowship together.
Lenny shared some powerful testimonies of how God led him to New Zealand from Samoa. How he got a job as a Fitter Welder, then trained as a fully qualified engineer, praise God.
Later on, the Lord gave him a farm, which was transformed from an unusable land, into a land producing much fruit and accomodation for all his family, glory to Jesus.
Ezekiel 36:33-36 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by.
So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’
Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”
In our time on the street in Tokoroa, much seed was sown and a mighty harvest was produced for the Kingdom of Heaven, Thank You Holy Spirit.
We witnessed thirty seven precious souls, all give their hearts to Jesus, praise God. Many people received the bilingual bible scriptures, books, calendars and drinks, glory to Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4-5. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
1 Peter 2:24. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
We headed back to camp for a rest, before our four hour journey back home.
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.

About Tokoroa…
Tokoroa is the fourth-largest town in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand and largest settlement in the South Waikato District. Located 30 km southwest of Rotorua and 20 km south of Putāruru, close to the foot of the Mamaku Ranges, it is midway between Taupō and Hamilton on State Highway 1.
History and culture
Early history
Tokoroa was the name of a chief of the Ngāti Kahupungapunga, who was slain by Raukawa during the siege of Pōhaturoa, a volcanic plug adjacent to Ātiamuri, 27 km south of Tokoroa. This battle took place around 1600 as the Ngāti Raukawa moved into the southern Waikato. The name Tokoroa first appeared on the early maps of the 1860s, although this was for an area 50 km north east of today’s Tokoroa.
