North Island Easter Camp

On Easter Sunday, I visited the upper CCCNZ North Island Easter Camp at Tōtara Springs Christian Centre. I was encouraged to see around 160 people from various churches, including Northcross ChurchOrewa Community ChurchHukanui Bible ChurchMatamata Bible ChurchTe Awamutu Bible Chapel and Putaruru Gospel Chapel.

A big thank you to Billy Hanna (Hukanui Bible Church), along with Marina Shannon (Orewa Community Church), and Isaac Claasen (Northcross Church) for organising the Easter Camp.

Billy Hanna writes,

“We had such an encouraging weekend together at Easter Camp! It was a real highlight to see different youth groups interacting and having fellowship across the weekend, as well as leaders being able to pour into and disciple their youth.”

A huge thank you to Werner Du Plessis and the ministry team at Tōtara Springs for your hospitality and help. It’s such a privilege seeing churches and campsites working together to point people to Jesus.
