We arrived in Manaia on Friday, October 20. We are staying in the home of a local family of believers: Margaret, Karen and Tony. They have built a family compound with a garden. As a result, they have guest rooms to accommodate quite a few of us who came across from Tauranga.

On Friday evening, we all went over to the local school. Our host and hostess Tony and Karen had rented the school auditorium for the meetings this weekend. We set up the chairs, covered the pictures of local gods, and had a special prayer and anointing over the space in preparation for the worship and meetings the next day.

On Sabbath morning, Mark gave a 10 AM presentation on the Five Branch Prophecies, which Authenticate Messiah - explaining how the soon-coming AntiChrist comes against and denies Yahshua's fulfillment of these prophecies.

After this first presentation, we all enjoyed some fellowship and lunch. The people were interested and quite lovely. It was a blessed start.

After lunch, Shauna gave two presentations (with a 30 minute break in between). Shauna spoke on the Gospel in the Heavens and then she gave a condensed talk based on her new series from Sukkot, on the Everlasting Gospel.

Yahweh blessed and answered prayers and the topics were powerfully given and well-received (glory only to Yahweh).

On Sunday, Mark will give a morning talk on Daniel 8 and the Ram and He-goat prophecy connected with current events in Israel and Palestine.

Following this, we have an afternoon of fellowship with the local folks and a special dinner appointment with a lovely local couple who are seeking intercessory prayer and anointing.

If you have been keeping us, the believers here, and this ministry trip in prayer, thank you! Yahweh is hearing and answering those prayers!
