Just a quick post outreach update, some prayer points for upcoming events and news.

Praise Report

We have recently sent teams on outreach to Melbourne Australia, Wellington,New Zealand and Rotorua Lakes Kids Camp in Rotorua New Zealand.

• Praise God for the glorious work of Salvation, we saw about 12 kids come to Christ at the Rotorua Lakes kids camp, and many more heard the gospel during the week of ministry here in Rotorua.
• Praise God for a blessed time with CC Melbourne sharing with at their Youth camp as we taught through the book of Phillipians, we were also able to take the sunday service both morning and evening to bless the church and give Pastor Andrew a well needed break. It was great to share with the CC Melbourne worship team and encourage them to continue on leading people into the presence of God.
• The Outreach team to CC Wellington had the privilege of co labouring along side the church with a vacation Bible  school reaching out in to the Lower Hutt Community.
• We recently had the privilege of sharing a brunch and a devotion with the  Good News Caravanners from the Bay of Plenty  here in New Zealand. These precious saints who gather together faithfully to minster to one another, we had  teh privilege  of seeking to encourage them as they have encourages so many over the years.
