On Friday, October 27, the local Lighted Way Tauranga group went with us to set up the rented Ohauiti Settler's Hall, located in Tauranga, New Zealand. We put up the materials table, set up the tables and chairs, for an expected 30 people, for the three meetings the next day.

After setting up, we had dinner and then went to Sheri Scholes' home, in Tauranga, for a special Question and Answers appointment. At this gathering, we were blessed to meet a lovely couple, who had come in their "caravan" (RV) from quite a distance to join us for the weekend. This couple, who are Covis and Rene Van de Reede have joined us online and have e-mailed us on many occasions over the years. It was a joy to meet them in person at last!

We enjoyed a good fellowship with the folks there that evening and Mark blew and shofar and we sang Day is Dying in the West, to welcome in the Sabbath, at sunset.

Then, on Sabbath, October 28, we gathered with about 32 believers at the Ohauiti Settler's Hall for a full day of meetings. Our first meeting was at 10 AM, which was Shauna Manfredine giving the talk The Gospel in the Heavens. Then we broke for lunch.

At 2 PM Shauna gave part two of the 3-part stars workshop, titled: "By the Word of Yahweh Were the Heavens Made". We had a short break, and then Shauna gave the 3rd and final part of this workshop, titled: "Telling Time on God's Clock."

The meetings were well-received and seemed to be a blessing, for which we praise Yahweh.

Now, on Sunday, October 29, we are enjoying our last day in New Zealand. We are working on packing and laundry. Our plane is due to leave at just after 11 AM tomorrow morning. Belinda and her mom, Jackie, will be flying with us to Australia. They will be accompanying us during our visit there.

Also during our time here in Tauranga, we have seen the Hand of Yah in allowing us to share some vital intercessory prayer, anointing, and spiritual warfare with dear ones in this area who have been under attack. Yahweh is good! And we see His Hand and Purpose in bringing us here to strengthen and encourage the believers here.

Thank you to each of you who are praying with us on this journey! Yahweh is hearing those prayers and big blessings are happening as a result!

Our next blog post will be from Australia... Blessings, New Zealand believers! We will carry you in our treasured memories and prayers. And if we do not meet you in person again this side of Glory, we hope and pray to meet and rejoice with each precious one under the Tree of Life!
