16 January 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello friends in Christ, we finally arrived in Hokatika, hallelujah! Gavin and Cindy, hosts of the living Waters Festival, invited us to stay at their beautiful farm in Hokatika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We parked up and were, greeted by brothers Deon, Gavin and Doug.They invited us to join them and a multitude of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a lovely reunion with beloved brothers and sisters in Christ from Auckland there, Deon and Roleen, Chris and Klaudia, Maree and Gary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also met brother George from a Motorcycle Ministry again, whom we met in Hamilton and many more new faces in the family of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathew 12:46-50<\/strong>  <\/sup>While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, \u201cLook, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.\u201d<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But He answered and said to the one who told Him, \u201cWho is My mother and who are My brothers?\u201d And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, \u201cHere are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed a lovely dinner and fellowship together, with worship, prayer and communion after, praise God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
