2 Timothy 1:6-9 <\/strong> Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today we visited Rangiora for the first time. A small town situated north of Christchurch. Central town is on one main street. We just witnessed today, with worship music on the speaker. Mostly just on the main street and from the busiest intersection we could find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Holy Spirit certainly moved there as sixty one people accepted Jesus into their hearts, praise God. We packed up at about 4.30pm and headed back to home base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank You Jesus for all that You are doing through us. Only You can work the miracles signs and wonders. Thank You Holy Spirit for all the divine appointments. Thank You Father God for Your perfect plans, directing our paths. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John 14:13-14 <\/strong> And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Proverbs 3:5-6 <\/strong> Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Bless you and your families with love from your brother in Christ, please comment by clicking on the post title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can navigate to our SFC YouTube channel by clicking here: www.youtube.com\/@ServantsinChrist<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ____________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n About Christchurch<\/strong>, Rangiora….<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rangiora<\/strong>\u00a0is the largest\u00a0town<\/a>\u00a0and seat of the\u00a0Waimakariri District<\/a>, in\u00a0Canterbury<\/a>, New Zealand.
