Ministering Elsewhere - Wellsford


Greg was recently invited to preach at a church that has been without a pastor for a couple of years. So, the week of January 13-20, we spent in the Wellsford area, a full days drive from our home. We were welcomed by a small body of believers hungry for the Word. Currently, they use DVD's from Riverbend as their service and meet in a granny flat. One of the dear couples own a small cottage, where we stayed, which was adjacent to their home. They had a newborn calf which was orphaned shortly after birth. Thus, the calf has to be bottle fed. Micah got to feed the calf one evening and was asked to feed the calf another evening when this couple had to be out for a wedding. It was a real privilege to minister to this small flock of hungry sheep. Truly, they ministered to us! In fact, they have (albeit indirectly) asked Greg to come and be their pastor.

During the week, we enjoyed excursions to Auckland, the Kauri Museum, Warkworth and Matakana, as well as Pakiri Beach.
