Mark and I had such an incredible week looking after the Ministry Development School students in Auckland. We also love spending time with all the Elim Leadership College interns during the week.

It's so hard to describe all that we experienced over the week but Elim across New Zealand is family. We are for each other and have so much love for one another. There is a generation who are on fire for God, hungry for more of Him and wanting their lives to make an impact for Jesus. We are so excited to be a part of Elim and all God is doing across our Nation!

Faith was never meant to be walked alone.
God's word over your life is still active.
Not expired. Not forgotten. Not on hold. Still moving.
Every promise carries purpose.
Every word carries weight.
God is still writing your story.
And His promises still stand.

There is a stirring happening.
Faith is rising again.
Hope is being restored.
Women are being reminded again: God is faithful!

Our year 7 & 8's had a great time on Friday night cooking and presenting their food at Voltage MasterChef. It was great having a real chef there for the night! We definitely saw some amazing talent in our young people. The cake was even made with no recipe!

I wanted to share this post with you from Happy Hippos. Apart from when Happy Hippos first started this is my most viewed post and by a long shot has the most likes. What this shows is that people actually love a good shout out and when people are appreciated.

But also what this teaches each one of us is that when we are serving and loving people with the gifts God has given us it really makes a difference! We can find so much joy and pleasure doing what we were made to do. It's not about the platform or getting our name out there. It's about loving one another and serving in the beautiful unique way we were created.

I want to give a huge big shout out to Kelvin Gibbs this week. Kelvin is a Grandad and every Thursday at Happy Hippos he prepares all the morning tea for the children. He quietly works away in the background and does all the dishes. We are so thankful for the amazing part Kelvin is in our Happy Hippos team! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
(You can see how excited he is about getting his photo taken).

On Friday night the 15th of May we have a beautiful night planned to love and encourage women. We have Becs Green coming who is the lead pastor at Botany Elim Church.

Becs' greatest passion is seeing others have a revelation of God's love and the personal calling He has for them. Becs is also the author of, recently released, (Ir)responsible and A Thousand Times Enough. These books will be on sale over the weekend.

Bring your sister, mum, friends and come and join us for a really special night together.
