  • 17. 10/11-Jul 2025: Maraenui, Napier

    Hello family, Yesterday, Thursday 10th, we went to Maraenui in Napier for a barbecue. In the morning there was a heavy fog, so we knew it would be a nice sunny day, and it was. We set up next to a block of shops, out front. We arrived a bit earlier this time at around 10.00am. We noticed typically in the afternoon from around 2.00pm the streets would go quieter.

    We had a great response from the local people, with many surrendering their hearts to Jesus. One woman received deliverance as she wept uncontrollably. We often see this reaction when long held unforgiveness is released. When trauma from the past is finally broken off, allowing the heart to be healed, Hallelujah!

    Mathew 6:14-15. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

    Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

    11th – July. Today we went to Taradale in Napier. The weather was cold, windy and overcast. After a couple of hours we decided the streets were a bit too quiet, so we went to central Napier city.

    We preached and witnessed, handing out tracts until 4.00pm. Jesus was glorified by 42 souls, who thanked Him for coming into their lives.

    Thank you for taking the time to read the blog, we hope you are edified and inspired for your calling with God.

    God bless

    With love from your brother in Christ

  • 16. 8/9-Jul 2025: Camberley, Hastings

    Hello my beloved friends.

    Haumoana freedom camp in Hastings

    We arrived at a new freedom campsite today on the coast in Hastings. Nice day, nice beach and beautiful views, praise God.

    The Lord led us to Camberley district in Hastings for a barbecue outreach. There were a few youth at a playground next to the shops, whom we prayed with.

    They enjoyed the free barbecue and drinks. We ministered with them and some of their parents.

    Camberley in Hastings.

    9-Jul 2025. We were led to Hastings town centre today. The weather was overcast and chilly, so not a lot of people around. We decided to just walk around, witnessing with tracks. I meet quite a few people, having some amazing encounters, where God touched them in different ways.

    I had fellowship and ministered with a young man who had already received Christ but was struggling with demonic attacks. He was greatly encouraged and we prayed together with his friend.

    Hastings couple receiving Jesus into their hearts.

    Sunny and partner were super excited to pray together. We enjoyed a very nice fellowship and the presence of God touched us all as we held hands and prayed together.

    I met Arthur a blind man on the street. I prayed healing and deliverance for Him, and he was touched by God mightily. Arthur also prayed the salvation prayer with me. He was very grateful to God for his divine encounter with Him.

    1 Peter 2:4-5. Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

    This is when my blessings come, I get to see and experience the presence and power of Jesus flowing out onto the street, into these precious souls, He loves. They simply turn to Him, and He turns up, hallelujah, praise God, all glory to Jesus.

    John 6:40. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

    I, intercede for them everyday in prayer, asking God to help them turn from sin, connect them with spirit filled brothers and sisters in Christ, and heal them of all trauma and broken hearts.

    These are some of the prayers. I know how powerful intercession prayer is…. an elder of the church I first attended, said he prayed for me everyday for years.

    Isn’t God good, how He brings these people onto our paths. There is also another intercessor, the greatest in fact, Jesus Himself. He is so very faithful, thank you Jesus.

    1 Timothy 2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,

     Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

    Psalm 36:5-9 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
    Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
    Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
    Your judgments are a great deep;
    O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

    How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
    Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
    They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
    And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
    For with You is the fountain of life;
    In Your light we see light.

    God bless you, may the Author of your faith, fill your house with His abundant life. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

    Your brother in Christ

  • 15. 8-Jul 2025: Arise and Shine

    For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1

    Hello Friends, I pray you are now encouraged, following our journey with the Lord.

    When I received the fire of Holy Spirit baptism, there was an internal shift that changed me forever. The only way I can describe it, is a fire was ignited within me, like an intense inferno. Of Course it is the trinity of God within me. My inward man blazing with the light and life of Jesus within me. All I did was invite Jesus into my heart, and accept him as my Lord and Saviour, and this is what happened to me. Suddenly His light shone through me, my spirit was made alive, born again, once I was blind, but now I see. In such a divine encounter, the Kingdom of Heaven entered within me. Jesus healed me, and drove out the darkness, setting me free of all the sins I was a slave too.

    Now with His wonderful presence, power and light flooding my, spirit, mind and soul. It is impossible for me not to share Jesus with the world, it would be a great injustice, if I did not. All I see now are the billions of suffering lost souls that need Jesus. My heart burns for them, because my desires are from God, that all will come to receive the ultimate gift of eternal life through Jesus.

    I know by the word of my testimony, what the blood of Jesus has done for me. He has healed me, delivered me from the evil one, paid the penalty of my sins at the cross, and given me eternal life in Heaven, right here and now.

    I encourage you all, time is short here and the hour late. Share the goodness of God with all around you. Pick up your cross, put away the flesh, fear, doubt and selfishness. Focus on Jesus and the calling He has given you. God commands us to love God with all our heart, mind and soul, and to love our neighbour as we love ourselves.

    If we really did love God and our neighbours, wouldn’t we go out to share our Saviour with great enthusiasm and urgency to the spiritually lost, with great fear for their perishing souls.

    If we have any love or compassion for others, would we just stand and watch a blind man walk off a cliff. Wouldn’t we run to that man to pull him away from danger. So it is for the spiritually blind, without Christ our only Saviour. Without receiving the atonement of sin by Christ at the cross, repenting and turning from sin, the bible says, the wages of sin is eternal death.

    When we abide in Him, and He in us, the fruit of His love will be on full display, for all to see. The veil is lifted, His light radiant cutting through the darkness of this world. Dust off your lamp stand, put it centre of your house, and let His glorious light shine into those precious, hurting souls, so Jesus might heal and save them too.

    Mathew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

    John 12:36. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

    2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 

    Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
    Searching all the inner depths of his heart.

    2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    Philippians 2:3-4. 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.

    Jude 1:23. but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

    Revelation 12:11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

    Deuteronomy 31:8. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.

    John 3:17. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

    Mathew 5:15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

    Romans 10:15. And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

    How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
    Who bring glad tidings of good things!

    May God bless you with all His richness and fullness in Christ Jesus. Amen.

    With love from Paul

  • 14. 6-Jul 2025: Napier

    Hello Family, Today we moved to a freedom camp north of Hastings. There are quite a few freedom camps down the coast, from Napier to Hastings. All next to the beach, most with toilets.

    There are grassed reserves going all the way with beautiful parks, covered tables and barbecues. so much space and room for all. The coast is quite rugged, with pea gravel, so not ideal for swimming.

    After parking up and repacking the vehicles, we headed off to Napier central town. The weather was a bit overcast, with a few showers, and chilly, but there were still quite a few people in town.

    We preached the word of God on the speaker, and prayed for over 30 people. God’s presence was flowing through the street, hallelujah!

    Monday, tomorrow is our day of rest, a well needed time of recovery for the guys, praise God.

    Mathew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

    God bless you all, may you rest at all times in God’s love joy and peace.

  • 13. 5-Jul 2025: John 15:5-7 Abide in Me

     “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.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them  into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

    ( From Google )The word “abide” is used ten times in the first ten verses of John 15. Looking at the Greek roots of the word, we discover helpful definitions. To abide is to “dwell,” “remain,” “be present,” and to “be held and kept.”Abiding addresses our posture and place.

    Hello friends, we see the true meaning of the word abide, is to dwell. this reminds me of David in Psalm 27.

    Psalm 27:4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,
    That will I seek:
    That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    All the days of my life,
    To behold the beauty of the Lord,
    And to inquire in His temple.

    Dwelling in Him, our Lord all the days of our lives. A connection deep down in our soul, where His word and Spirit is our essence and fragrance of life, springing out of our hearts, in His perfect love. The trinity of God our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit abiding in us, if we abide in Him.

    John 14:23. Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

    This is a state of being, remaining spiritually connected through Jesus our source of life and light, so that He may produce an abundance of eternal fruit. Following His commandments, is obedience to His word, the vine.

    John 1:1-4. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

    Jesus is just so incredibly unique, the greatest beauty to behold, to dwell or abide in. A beauty, that I am firmly intertwined with, drawing continually from His eternal love. He glorifies our Father in Heaven, the Holy Spirit glorifies Him through us, and we get to dwell in His house for ever and ever.

    Thank you Father God for your perfect gift to us, our vine, your word, our Saviour, our life and light. The Christ our King, our everything.

    God bless my friends, let us abide in Him together, in perfect love and unity for ever. Amen.

  • 12. 5-Jul 2025: Napier

    Hello all, today we are resting, the weather is rainy all day here. In a new development, brother Pio is driving down from Murupara today, to rejoin us.

    We decided it wasn’t worth driving back up to Taupo, so we will visit Taupo on the way back up. It will be great to have Pio back with the team as we continue to travel down the east coast, sharing the good news, we have a saviour, Jesus.

    Also will be good to have the van back, to get around the towns much easier.

    This is my attempt at a boil up. After trying brother Logan’s one, I was so impressed, I decided to try to cook myself. I managed to find some watercress, but I put too much water in, so was very soupy.

    The second time around, I added more chicken, it was much nicer. Even Logan “the boil up” expert, said it was good, praise God.

    We are enjoying a rest now, so God bless you all.

  • 11. 4-Jul 2025: Wairoa

    Hello, fellow friends in Christ. Today was an awesome day, beautiful weather and we managed to get set up in town at 10.00am, a much better time. We got our bus park next to the vacant shop, barbecue location, and all thanks to our wonderful Father in Heaven, working miracles, signs and wonders here on earth.

    Brother Logan sharing his testimony

    Also, to top off the day, the video download issue, just suddenly started working again. Once again my God and way maker gets all the glory. Thank you Jesus, for always answering my prayers.

    Brother John stayed a while for a good fellowship.

    We were busy from the get go, with people stopping for a sausage, drink and prayer. We met a couple of local brothers in Christ, John and friend who decided to share his powerful testimony. We prayed healing and deliverance for quite a few people. Some received powerful prophecy. Glory to Jesus, 46 people declared Jesus to be their saviour.

    Group of youths sharing how Jesus has helped them in the past.

    After finishing the outreach we had a bite to eat then left Wairoa for Napier. We arrived at another freedom Camp with toilets. We got a nice spot right next to the beach. We look forward to a few days witnessing in Napier, which is quite a big town with around 100,000 population.

    Thank you for taking the time to follow us and what the Lord is doing in the towns we visit.

    Special thanks to Gav and Jess for their beautiful work on the two new pages gone live on this website, ABOUT US and SFC – TEAM. Thank you Jesus for your wisdom, dedication, perseverance and attention to detail through our beloved gifted friends in Christ. I should add long-suffering to the list, as my IT computer skills are at a very basic level, lol. May the Lord bless you both with abundant, eternal, blessings.

    Colossians 3:23-24 And what ever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

    Blessing to you all and lots of love. And abundant love, joy and peace to Jackson my son.

    God bless

  • 10. 3-Jul 2025: My Soul is Safe and Content With God my Father, in Jesus my Saviour.

    4 – July – 2025

    Psalm 62

    A Calm Resolve to Wait for the Salvation of God

    To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

    Truly my soul silently waits for God;
    From Him comes my salvation.
    He only is my rock and my salvation;
    He is my defense;
    I shall not be greatly moved.

    How long will you attack a man?
    You shall be slain, all of you,
    Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence.
    They only consult to cast him down from his high position;
    They delight in lies;
    They bless with their mouth,
    But they curse inwardly. 

    My soul, wait silently for God alone,
    For my expectation is from Him.
    He only is my rock and my salvation;
    He is my defense;
    I shall not be moved.
    In God is my salvation and my glory;
    The rock of my strength,
    And my refuge, is in God.

    Trust in Him at all times, you people;
    Pour out your heart before Him;
    God is a refuge for us. 

    Surely men of low degree are a vapor,
    Men of high degree are a lie;
    If they are weighed on the scales,
    They are altogether lighter than vapor.
    Do not trust in oppression,
    Nor vainly hope in robbery;
    If riches increase,
    Do not set your heart on them.

    God has spoken once,
    Twice I have heard this:
    That power belongs to God.
    Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
    For You render to each one according to his work.

  • 9. 3-Jul 2025: Wairoa

    Hello family, we arrived in Wairoa 2nd of July and parked up at a freedom park, town centre, next to a nice new toilet block. We were both a bit tired after the trip, but the Lord got us here safely.

    The next day, 3rd of June, we set up the barbecue at the shops on the main road. We managed to get a park for the bus right next to our outreach location, thank you Lord. I struggled with the barbecue, as the wind kept blowing out the flame, but I realised the jets needed a clean, and away it went. Thank you Holy Spirit for divine revelation, in all things. We started a bit late at about 1.30pm, and realised many of the shops and cafe’s closed early afternoon, so the street became quiet, quickly. However we did get to pray for quite a few people, trickling through.

    Tomorrow we with go to the same spot at around 10.00pm, before the locals have lunch. After the outreach, we will continue on down the coast to Napier.

    As I have commented in the previous post, I have an issue with the video downloads, as soon as resolved I will add the recent videos to the recent posts on the blog. I have handed this problem to God, and will continue to pray for restoration in system.

    Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer, and duplication, with thanks giving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

  • 8. 3-Jul 2025: Gisborne

    Hello friends, brothers and sisters in Christ. Currently we are night 3 at Kaiti beach, our maximum allowed time here. We have enjoyed this location, with public toilet and 5 minutes from town centre. Yesterday Logan visited his grandfather in a local rest home, which was lovely for them both.

    Today we set up for witness next to McDonald’s in a public courtyard area surrounded by shops. This turned out to be a good spot with quite a few people walking through past our table. Lots of people stopped for prayer with some taking a bible home with them. Suddenly we were confronted by a shop owner next to us, who was upset with us sharing Jesus next to her shop. She said she is a lesbian and disagreed with our religious beliefs, having been hurt by Christians in the past. The manager of the area was called in and he asked us to move on as we were on private land. We humbly withdrew from there, to a public sidewalk around the corner. There was a blessing from this situation, as I got to pray for her from a distance and she got to hear about Jesus briefly.

    1 Peter 4:16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

    A young man joined us who was skeptical about the gospel, but sat with us for quite sometime in fellowship. Many seeds sown.

    John 4:37 For this saying is true: One sows and another reaps.

    Lovely family receiving prayer and blessing from God.

    On the 2nd of July the Lord lead us to Gisborne skatepark. Being the school holidays, the park was busy, so perfect opportunity to share the good news to the youth and parents there. We offered a free sausage sizzle, drinks and the gospel. The weather was great and many youth learned about Jesus their saviour, praise God. We encouraged them to develop a relationship with Jesus through the word and prayer. We handed out discipleship Manuels, tracks and some bibles.

    After we finished there, we attended to laundry duties at a local Laundromat, fuelled up the buses and departed Gisborne, heading for Wairoa, one hour down the coast.

    Currently I am experiencing technical issues with video downloads, so I will add videos when resolved.

    Blessings to you all, feel free to comment by clicking on the title of the blog.

    God bless

    1. Your dedication to sharing God’s Word is truly inspiring. The way you communicate His truth with clarity and compassion is making a real impact—thank you for being such a faithful vessel of His message!
