News from earth, March 2006 -

from the Auckland Chairman, Jean Griffiths
It always amazes me when I see God at work behind the scenes. This year I made the biggest mistake with printing the wrong date in the Encourager, newsletters and registration forms for our Auckland camp. This mistake caused us to lose our worship team, main speaker and great helpers. One thing led to another and it seemed the whole thing was turning to custard with the smallest attendance ever. It was so easy to feel discouraged and give up, but I believe that God was teaching me something. Not only dependence on Him. but as I went through this expedition with God (our theme) in this difficult period. I came to rely on the scripture Isaiah 40:31 "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint". - And it ended up to be the BEST camp ever, because God turned it round for good. He never lets you down ! Finally, we want to welcome Louisa Forde onto the committee. Up to the top
