Even though we might not have known them as well as our close friends and teammates, we also wanted to say “goodbye” and share God’s “Good News” with our neighbors: family’s next door, store clerks, the butcher, owners of local dairy, and others in the area we lived in. As often as we tried to connect with each person on a spiritual level, most conversations did not lead to us being able to share the Gospel. We knew that we could not leave New Zealand unless we had offered each of these we interacted with weekly a way to hear about Christ. We decided to order 17 Jesus Films in different languages (Cambodian, Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, English, and even sign language), wrap them up in pretty paper with a beautiful blue bow on top, along with a personal letter, and give each of them a DVD. It was a small step, but we pray that God will use it for his Glory. Please join us in praying that God will work in each these people’s lives in a special way...that His Spirit will be at work drawing each person into a relationship with him. Please be praying for:
* Annabelle and John * Dave and Sarah * Bridget and her family * Ngaio and Alistair * Ross and his wife
* Deaf couple that lived next door * Allistair and Agnus * Osman, Maryann, and Rohana * Penny Rowley- family Doctor
* Sokri, Sareefa, Amira, and Raulphie * Michelle, Sam and James * Lance and Anne from the local butcher * Owner of Café Leafee
* Sweet family from the neighborhood dairy * Phil at the video store * Anne at the grocery store
