Wonderful beginnings

I saw wonderful beginnings in April - new friendships forged and new connections established for Jesus. I met many pastors and by the time April is over, expect to meet, minister and fellowship with at least 15 ministers across Melbourne, Hamilton and Auckland.

It was a delightful time when our friends came from Hamilton to have lunch with us in Auckland. Pastor Peter and his wife, Adrienne together with Chien Chow and his wife, Kim met Dorothy for the first time. We had great fellowship and the "yum char" was very delicious. Peter and Chien are working closely on the building project for their church in Hamilton. Read on.....

Lighthouse Christian Fellowship

It was good to return to Hamilton. I was last here in early December 04. Pastors Peter and Adrienne were most generous. We have had a great service on Sunday where many young people accepted the Lord as Saviour and many more were at the altar being prayed for.

I conducted a workshop on Saturday and met with the Elders responsible for the Building project on Sunday night. I believe God is bringing this church to a new level. They are at an inflection point in the life of the church. This is the season to build. What a privilege for their leaders to live in "such a time as this". It is a noteworthy project that will lift the faith level of this church to new heights. It is exciting time - I believe a time for a "touch of the supernatural" for this church.

If you are keen to help, as I would in due course, drop a note to Pastor Peter and Adrienne Tan at their email address: tanfamily@paradise.net.nz

Calvary Life Centre, Auckland

This is my second visit to Calvary Life Centre in the suburb of New Lynns. We had a Holy Spirit clinic on Saturday morning and many new Christians were filled with the Holy Spirit. We also had a session of praying for each other and hearing from the "still small voice" of the Holy Spirit. The prophetic words were sharp and accurate; words needed to be heard by many individuals. Praise God.

A refreshing of the Holy Spirit!

I spoke at both the English and Chinese service on Sunday. The Lord's presence is so real. Pastors Philip & Allyson Morrison said the word was a "word in season". I believe God is shaping this church into a missions church and will enlarge the boundary of this church. He will bring people and resources to equip and empower the church for it to be a significant influence in the community and beyond.

The Chinese congregation was very responsive and many were at the altars for ministry. Many of these Christians are new in the faith.

We had a Sunday night meeting for the Cell Leaders. What an awesome night! It was a time of release from the hang-ups of the past and an internal realignment within individual lives. It was a time of impartation! I am excited to know that leaders will now serve with a fresh anointing, authority and a freedom from personal insecurity bringing the church to a new level.

Good News Cook Island Emmauel Faith Church

Pastor "T" was a gracious man. He was most supportive. My College classmate Teina (a NZ Cook Islander) arranged for me to speak at Pastor "T"'s church. We had a wonderful meeting.

Paying for the Sick

His International Missions

Ps Graham Davidson was most welcoming. The service was well attended and I renewed friendship with many people in this church @Glen Innes. I was surprised by the number of pastors in attendance. God had His divine appointments. I met Ps Carl Butler from Brisbane - we had a lot in common to talk about. God's connecting us for Jesus.

Dorothy joined me for this meeting and together we prayed for many at the altar. Ps Carl too was praying for some of those in need. I relished the fact that one brave young man accepted the Lord as Saviour - he stood at the altar while we prayed for him. Praise God.

Melbourne Ministry

MWC

The beginning of April saw me in ministry with the MWC. This is a great church with expectional people. Destiny awaits this lively church. Pastor Enzo is a good friend - and a generous one.

MWC's theme for 2005 - "Our best year ever"

I conducted a Finance workshop on Saturday morning and the turnout was good. We had two services on Sunday and God's presence was awesome in both meetings. Many people felt the anointing, received prophetic words and ministered by the word of knowledge in a definitive manner. We also prayed for the sick knowing that the "prayer of faith will make the sick well". Praise God!
