Praise God, another beautiful day with Jesus. Today we are in Richmond, 25 minutes from the farm we staying at. We are witnessing around the Richmond mall, which seemed quite busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brother Pio decided to set up base in the Mall, as I walked around, outside. Some people were not open to hearing about Jesus, but some were, praise God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eighteen precious souls turned to Jesus in prayer, to receive His glorious promise of eternal life in Him, glory to Him alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You Holy Spirit for leading the people to Jesus. We acknowledge You are the one who brings all truth to the captives and sets them free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 146:7-8 <\/strong> Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for joining us here, you are welcome to leave a comment if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God bless you all in the mighty name of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Richmond<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richmond<\/strong> is a town and the seat of the Tasman District Council<\/a> in New Zealand<\/a>. It lies 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Nelson<\/a> in the South Island<\/a>, close to the southern extremity of Tasman Bay<\/a>. The town, first settled by Europeans in 1842,[4]<\/a><\/sup> was named in 1854 after the town of Richmond on Thames<\/a> near London. The town has an estimated population of 19,950 as of June 2025.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although most of Richmond lies outside the boundaries of Nelson City and the town is considered a separate urban area, Richmond is part of the wider Nelson metropolitan area along with nearby Brightwater<\/a>, Hope<\/a>, M\u0101pua<\/a> and Wakefield<\/a>.[5]<\/a><\/sup> The two unitary authorities<\/a> (Nelson and Tasman) co-operate for tourism<\/a>-marketing purposes via “Latitude Nelson”. As of 2020 Richmond forms part of the Nelson parliamentary electorate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
