Hi everyone,
The new year has begun and already we are coming into the last weeks or 2 of January.
We have just had a wonderful weekend of real significance for our church. On Sunday morning we prayed and sent our first Missionaries that are from us and going to serve in our ministry in Fiji.
Bob and Christine Holmes were very effective in running the A/G Bible School in the Solomon Islands for a 6 year period and are now in Lautoka, Fiji getting ready to start our first Semester in the HIM Ministry Training Centre. We have rented excellent premises for a time while we build our own facilities on the 15 acres of land we have in Lautoka (also planning to build a Primary School on the same site). We already have a group of students ready to start and are excited about how this can develop to not only impact Fiji but also other Pacific Island nations and beyond as we train people for cross cultural ministry.
We still remain committed to the many other missionaries and nations that we are involved with and in this last year sent 4 teams to various nations including Colombia, New Caledonia and Fiji.
On Sunday night we had Ps Andrew and Ps Moira Brown of Dream Centre Auckland bring their church to ours and minister a powerful presentation of the Gospel in skit, testimony and sharing that was very contemporary and relevant to our people and the guests that came. WOW. 10 people gave their lives to the Lord including some restoration of prodigal sons and daughters.
We have Ps Pops and Selina Arona coming from Kaitaia Abundant Life Church this weekend to help us prepare for running the Alpha Course with our own flavour that is more akin to how Kaitaia has run theirs very successfully over the last couple of years.
Our Youth are fired up and inspired after Sunday night with the tremendous creativity the Dream Centre showed and looking forward to reaching and discipling many young people for Jesus in 2010.
Some of the themes coming through the word of God lately have been, LISTEN (hear and obey); Stop, Look and Listen; Work With Joy. We believe it is HARVEST TIME - more people are saying yes that used to say no - more people are ready to listen, more people are already coming to the Lord in the last few months.
We have just been hosting (accommodating) at our facility 35 young people from New Caledonia who are mostly Christians we work with there but their primary purpose is holiday / sightseeing. However they will perform 2 items in this coming Sunday morning service before they all head off to Rotorua.
Stay close to Him and pursue all He has for you in this season of Harvest.
Love and Blessings - Ps Graham and Glenda Davison
