Our vision as a movement is to see independent churches (and the regional camps and national ministries that support them) working together to point people to Jesus through the gospel from the Bible.
For this reason it was very special being at the Far North Regional Summit, at Coopers Beach Youth Camp on Saturday.
It was lovely to be with almost 40 leaders from Northland churches, including Clark Road Chapel, Dargaville Gospel Church, Kaitaia Bible Chapel, Lighthouse Church Tutukaka, Mangonui Bible Chapel, Raumati Crescent Chapel, and Tōtara North Bible Chapel.
Thank you to Warrick Jones from Clark Road Chapel for opening God's Word and sharing the wonderful message of the cross with us in such a genuine and meaningful way. Thanks to Chris Kanara from Raumati Crescent Chapel for leading us in praising our God together in song.
It was super encouraging to hear stories of what God’s doing, special thanks to Benny and Fakatou Tracey (Kaitaia Bible Chapel), Janet and Mike Fleming (Tōtara North Bible Chapel), and Trish and Greg Ellis (Lighthouse Church Tutukaka).
We're so grateful to the Coopers Beach Christian Youth Camp team for their generosity and for hosting us so well! And thank you to Evelyn Laybourn for spoiling us with tasty food throughout the day.
