Verse of the week
"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High; Call upon Me
in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me."
Psalm 50: 14 - 15
Hi Richard,
By the time we are back in NZ this coming July and
August it will have been four years since our last
time in kiwi land. Now I am planning our visit.
I propose the 06 August as a date for us to be with
Leith Valley for a Sunday service. Will you still be
in Europe at that time? Do you think that will suit
the program?
I am asking for help to find some new churches
that would be open to partnering with us. I would
be grateful for any help you can give. Do you
know pastors who might be open to having us
come and share and whose churches are not
already overloaded in the missions area?
For the moment I have asked yourself, Graeme
Wilson and Brett Bennet (both pastors with the
Apostolic churches in the Hamilton region) for
help of this type.
Dates and areas where we would be available:
Sun 2 July, Wellington area
Sun 30 July, Christchurch area
Sun 13 August, Auckland area
Sun 20 August, Auckland area (Andrew only)
Sun 27 August, Hamilton area (Andrew only)
Sun 03 Sep, Hamilton area (Andrew only)
Sun 10 Sep, Wellington area (Andrew only)
I attach my draft overall visit program.
Many blessings,
Andrew
Dear Friends,
I am writing to you as a favour to one of my dearest friends, Andrew Jones and his wife Pascale. They have been toiling away in
North Africa and then, when they were ejected from Morocco, in the South of France to bring the Gospel to the Berber speaking
peoples. The now have a wonderful ministry making radio and TV programmes which they beam into these place from
France. They are a dedicated and mature Christian couple who are returning to New Zealand in July through to September and
would deeply appreciate some invitations to share their work and to receive support.
Their timetable is below and I would ask parishes to contact Andrew directly to make arrangements with him. His timetable for the
New Zealand visit is below with the latest newsletter there also and his email is [email protected] Please do not publicise his work
on the internet in any way at all.
Many thanks, Richard Dawson (Moderator)
