I would like to start off by thanking you all for your prayers. We have been so blessed so far on this journey and we know that you all have had a part with your prayers.
Wow, where to start. Well, we are still in Wellington today and will be traveling tomorrow. Yesterday was a day of shock and encouragement. It was shocking in that we wanted to get a good look at what things cost in New Zealand. We got a good look at prices on household items. Beds, kitchen ware, and etcetera. We know that New Zealand is an island and were expecting things to run about double the price as back home. That was true for somethings, but other items could be 3x, 4x, or even 5x's as much as back home.
As the day continued, God was able to settle us. We know that He owns a thousand cattle on the hilltops and He can do anything that he wants. Money and stuff are small potatoes for our God. He provides for all our needs and we shouldn't worry about them (Matthew 6: 25-34). Look around at His creation, see how He cares for everything.
In the evening we were able to have a great dinner and time of fellowship with Pastor David Pham of Calvary Chapel Wellington, his family, and a young man from the congregation who attended the bible institute here in New Zealand. It was a good time of learning about each other, how the church has grown, and the fruit that is growing here in Wellington.
Please continue to pray for us on this journey. Pray for Calvary Chapel Wellington and where The Lord is leading them in their community. (CC Wellington just sent out their 2nd missionary Ma'ara, keep her in your prayers as well). Pray that we would not take a step without the Lord's guidance.
Andrew
