We'll Follow You Into The World!


We've ended the lecture phase of our School of Mission and in a couple of weeks, we will be on mission to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ!

Here is our itnerary so far....

31st May – 12th June: Parish mission at St Joseph’s Church, Upper Hutt - missions in Viard College, St Anne's and St Francis Xavier primary schools - Rimutaka prison.


12th – 19th June : Parish mission at Holy Trinity Church, Central Hawkes Bay

19th June – 25th June : Parish mission at Church of Our Lady Help of Christians, New Plymouth

25th- 30th June : Mission in Wellington – Worship Night at St Gerard's Monastery – Lifeteen Kilbernie – Rimutaka prison.

Our lives these days are filled with outreach preparation, be they creativity practices, or preparation of teachings or testimonies or preparation of programmes.

It is a time of stepping out in faith, of applying to our lives the truths and healing that God has given to us.

Please pray for us, to be filled with more and more of the Holy Spirit, that we may go out and proclaim the Good News with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and with power!

Again and again, the Lord reminds us that it is the witness of our life and the witness of our unity and love for one another that will speak volumes and touch lives. Thank you Lord!


Lord, we want to broadcast You to the world!

Use our hands, use our feet to make Your kingdom come.
To the corners of the earth, until Your work is done.
For faith without works is dead
And on the cross Your blood was shed
So how could we not give it away so freely?

We'll follow You into the homes of the broken
Follow You into the world
Meet the needs of the poor and the needy God
We'll follow You into the world

(Follow You, Leeland)
