I’m Off To Preach In New Zealand!

August 11th, 2010 Posted in family, Harvest Crusades, holidays, Pastor's corner, travel

Hey everyone!

I have been hanging out and just recharging a bit and getting ready for a trip to New Zealand!  We are hoping to do a Harvest Crusades event there next year, so we are holding a pre-crusade event this weekend in Auckland.

The mayor of the city is going to be there, along with some leading pastors from the city. I will speak two times and meet with a lot of people, so please pray that God guides and blesses our steps as we seek to take the gospel to the whole world.

In fact, we have held a number of events in New Zealand over the last few years, and they were very well-received. The people there are wonderful.

Joining me will be the Katinas and Phil Joel, formerly of The Newsboys. Phil is a “Kiwi,” a New Zealand native, so we know he will connect well.

It’s a 14-hour flight across the ocean, so you won’t hear from me for a while. And after this trip, I am taking a vacation with my family!

Talk to you soon.

Greg

    My mom went to be with the Lord on 7/14/08. Soon after that, I received Jesus in my life at the 08 crusade. You have helped so much in dealing with my loss, and you are right, you never get over it. I now serve in the childrens ministry as security in Tophers Place. Every time I plant my feet on the ground at Harvest, I know that I’m home. Every time I serve, I feel like I need to pay the church. I went from a life of drugs and alcohol, to a life of serving God, my life has never been better. Thanks for being the man GOD has called you to be, Thanks for being my pastor. Steve

    Dear Greg,

    We will be praying for you and Cathe and the team as you head to New Zealand! It is a privilege to be part of Harvest’s work here at home and abroad. We are so very proud of you and your willingness to be continually used by our precious Lord.

    Have a wonderful time, eats lots of good “down under” food, and be blessed from above!

    Hello Pastor Greg;
    Thanks for always taking the time for your flock to let us know how things are going. You are a blessing I want you to know. Praying for you as always. Praying also that God will provide a way for me to go to the Crusade out there (or down under) again. Truly a blessing it was and always is – as the Lord leads.
    God bless and safe travels. See you when you get back.
    To God be the glory – as we serve in His name – “JESUS” (There’s power in that Name)

    Mr. Laurie,

    If you get the chance (or maybe you already have), I do hope you get to meet Tony Spandow. He is a wonderful guy with a heart for Christ and people. I believe he is the leading minister of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Auckland.

    God bless,

    ~Anna
