HIS AMAZING GLORY - DECEMBER NEWSLETTER. We are fast approaching the end of the year and what a year it has been. We have ministered in almost every part of New Zealand and as always met some amazing people. January saw us start the year with the New Year New Glory mini conference in Auckland which we did with Trish Bussell from Hamilton. It was a great way to start the year.
During the year we also had the Priviledge of working with some amazing people in conferences and churches around the ANZAC nations. Highlights have been working in a conference with Patricia King, who we found to be such a real and amazing woman of God. Also working with Natasha Veermaak at the Moed Conference and this year Ive worked with Ian Clayton three times in our own nation in conferences. Have loved working & partnering with Rob & Lynn Packer of XPNZ in a few things.
2011 we ministered in the cities and in the country by the sea and in the mountains.. what a great country we live in. One of the highlights of the year was spending three days at Matahi O Te Tau Marae near Te Aroaroa on the East coast of NZ. The name of the Marae translates to the welcome of the new year. It just so happened we were on the Marae leading up to Rosh Hashanna the Jewish New Year. The Maori people regard the Whare Nui or large house where we slept as the womb of the people. So in that sence we were in the Womb of the people who live in the most eastern most place in NZ (as far away from Jerusalem as you can get) ushering in Rosh Hashana... WHat an experiance and what a blessing. To all the CHurches and individuals who supported us in 2011.. Wow we wouldnt have made it with out you. Our relationship with Horizon Church has been increasing over the past 12 month and we have found a great CHurch home & base there. They are on the same page as us.and we share the same values. As well as having a lot of good laughs together I just love the way the leaders of the CHurch have just abandoned themselves to the leading of the Holy Spirit in the formation of a new wineskin. So recently when they asked us if we would become part of the Governmental leadership team it seemed good to us and thats what is happening in 2012. The new model dosent keep us locked behind four walls but sends us out as we have gone in the past. But now we have formalised our committment and relationship with this Church. Just love the heart of the senior visionary leaders Tim & Xenia Stevenson and the rest of the team. So you will see us around Horizon a bit more in 2012 as well as out and about in the vineyard if you were wondering the Horizon web-site is www.horizon.org.nz Our 2011 tour to Israel was in March/April we took 18 people with us and saw most of the land. had some amazing encounters and lots of fun. Check out our tour BLOG at www.israeltours.co.nz During 2011 we have had the priviledge of praying and ministering to alot of people in our one on one session and the fruit has been very good. I am so amazed at the quality of people in NZ we meet. Next years (2012) tour to Israel is booked from 2nd April - 19th April and there is still some room if you want to come with us. just drop me an e-mail and let me know ianjohn@xtra.co.nz
On the 28th January XPNZ is hosting another what is the Lord saying for 2012 at Horizon CHurch keep the date free. We have a few events booked for 2012 around New Zealand and looking for alot more. So dont forget to invite us to your Church or conference as speakers in 2012. Looking forward to seeing you all in 2012.. Just remember the holiday period is often very hard for itinerant ministry folk including us. But this is not me asking for money its just reminding you that you can invest in one or more of the wonderful ministries in NZ including ours. drop me a line via e-mail if you want our bank account details.
