We had a great woman's Encounter last weekend! We stayed at Howie & Vicki's church and it worked really well. There was only a very small group but it was such a worthwhile time. My daughter in law, Dawn (sitting on the arm of the chair) was powerfully ministered to. She brought along a cousin who just gave her heart to the Lord recently at her babies tangi. It was so good to see her get some powerful healing and deliverance. I had two new leaders ministering so that was really exciting as well. We have just recently had 23 people graduate from School of Leaders 3, so it great seeing them leading cells, growing & ministering powerfully! God is so good!! thanks to all who prayed for our Encounter weekend - your prayers were answered!

GROUNDBREAKING KERIKERI CAMPUS

                   Exciting News from Mike and Allison in Kaikohe

The Kerikeri Christian Campus is pleased to announce the beginning of the construction of its new campus. A Ground Breaking Ceremony is planned to celebrate the start of the site works for the four new classrooms, infra-structure and community hall for related activities. Media representatives, representatives from other schools  as well as the general public, are invited to attend the ceremony that will be held on: Friday, September 24th, 2010 at 10:00am 1 Edkins Road. (intersection of Waipapa and Landing Roads). The ceremony will commence with a powhiri led by NgatiRehia. Given the historical connection between Maori and Christian education in Kerikeri, board chairman Mike Shaw says, “This is most appropriate and we are honoured to have NgatiRehia leading the proceedings.”  After the welcome, there will be some brief remarks from dignitaries and readings from the students. The ceremony will be closed by a prayer of blessing the soil and  a hymn, followed by the ground breaking. When the formalities are concluded there will be a barbeque and refreshments in the marquee. The first stage of the new campus is scheduled to be completed and ready for occupancy in February 2011. The campus is continuing to take enrolments at its current Hone Heke site and plans an open day in term four.
