On 3rd October, we travelled up to Auckland for a parish mission at St Thomas More parish. What a blessing it was for us to start the mission with the youth of the parish!
There was great openness to receive the message of God's love, the call to deepen their relationship with Him, to call upon the Holy Spirit's power and also to go out to evangelise.
Posing for a picture before going into the malll for a taste of street evangelisation!
They returned afterwards, brimming over with excitement of their encounters and conversations with people. They were encouraged to learn first-hand that it was not as difficult as they had thought!
Evangelising in the mall made us realise once again that there are many in the world who do not yet know Christ, or even heard of Him! We felt very blessed that we could share in those few minutes who God is for us, and to invite people to come to know Him! Lord, gather your flock to You!
The young people were very keen to learn creativity and participate in singing and worship.
4 of them joined Mely to perform "Pick It Up" at the Saturday evening youth mass.
The others joined Chris in the worship team for the mass. 
The joy of our first weekend at St Thomas More overflowed in abundance into the rest of the week that we were there.....more pictures and stories coming up!
