2018 in Reflection and where to in 2019?

By
Firstly a huge thank you to all who have journeyed with us this past year.  It has been a great year of growth and expansion in many stepping up and stepping into new things that the Lord has encouraged each to step up into.  You all have been amazing!

Some of the growth this year has been:
  • A year of two services on a Sunday
  • Shifting into two different buildings
  • New groups formed - Wednesday Womens, Thursday Evenings and Mens Ministry
  • Interns 
  • Guest Speakers
  • School of the Spirit
  • Labour Weekend of Worship
  • Financial Increase
  • Invitations within New Zealand and Overseas for teaching and training.
None of this would have been possible without your support and encouragement practically, spiritually, financially and emotionally.  

Some of the words of the Lord in brief over the past year.
  • "Restructuring of the Body of Christ"
  • "Change is coming and it will happen quickly."
  • "How long will you wait before you enter the promised land?"
  • "Deut 8:2-10  He humbled you in order to know what was in your heart... to teach us that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.  ... For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land."
  • "Burn the ships - no turning back"
  • "Purity of the gospel - Daniel 2: 31-45 We are not to be 'partly strong and partly brittle, a divided kingdom is unable to stand.  We cannot be partly of the Kingdom of God and partly of the World."
In looking forward to 2019....

 The Lord is making it clear that things are going to change from where things were in the past to where they are going in the future.  I believe he has and is positioning us for more teaching/training/equipping with the new building, but other things he is talking about are;

  • Mentoring
  • Outreach - Weekends of Worship in different places - tent meetings
  • Invitations - both overseas and here in NZ
  • Church Gathering
  • Internet
  • Workshop training days
So how these all come together and work out in the practical, we wait upon the Lord.  
If any of these things listed above is of interest to you and you want to know more, please contact us.
If you would like to sew financially into all that God has done and is doing in seeing lives changed, impacted, and in love with Jesus, then please see the donations page on how you can do this.
If you would like us to bring a team and hold a 'worship weekend' in your town, then also please contact us.
We would love to serve you in whatever way we can.  
We thank you again as it is not just one individual but a body of people working together in unity that commands a blessing.

We pray for you this Christmas Season that the Lord will refresh and refire you in His Love.  That He will keep you safe and that he will guide you and lead you in the new things he has for you in 2019.

A challenge from the Book of Haggai

By
“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in paneled houses while this house remains a ruin?” This is the word that popped up to me this morning as I sat down and felt I needed to share it here. Haggai is a wonderful book that reminds us of the right priorities in life, it is only a couple of pages long so take the time to read it in one sitting.  I quote from the NIV application study bible;       “Pressures, demands, expectations, and tasks push in from all sides and assault our schedules.  Do!  Be There!  Finish that! Call them!  It seems as though everyone wants something from us – family, friends, employer, school, church, clubs.  Soon there is little left to give, as we run out of energy and time.  We find ourselves rushing through life, attending to the necessary, the immediate, and the urgent.  The important is all too often left in the dust.  Our problem is not the volume of d...

Don't be deceived - be careful who you are following

By
I had this dream the other day where I saw a whole bunch of my friends following after a lady who was popular and well known and they were going to hear her but as they got in her possession she was evil and was out to kill them, she was deliberately deceiving them. I found myself in this dream warning the people not to follow her and so now I find myself warning people about being deceived and not to follow after people. We are not to follow after people, we are to follow after God and Jesus Christ.  We are not to look to people for what they can give us but we are to look to God.  If we look to God and read his word then it is harder to become deceived because the word of God is truth and it reveals truth as we read it and we find the areas of error that may be coming in. I find myself sometimes heading down a certain direction and becoming a little unbalanced in my theology (my beliefs) until I read the word again which brings me back in line ...

Latest Prayer Update

By
Since writing last – We continue to pray about the tent meeting but the Lord seems to continue to have that on hold as I believe he has another way of doing the same thing but in a new way where the whole body will be used and so we wait until all the pieces come together.   Please be patient with us in this. Africa – We continue to have words given to us about Africa and so the Lord is definitely talking about Africa but he seems to be widening the vision with it all, not just Malawi.   It seems more like at this stage visiting a number of African Countries wherever the Lord leads, empowering people – a bit like the last China trip but for longer and more countries and so too we wait for all the pieces to fit together. He has said to have our bags packed ready to go at a moments notice and so we have done that by faith, there are just a few other things that need to come together to make this possible.    Picton – We were blessed to be part of a team that we...
