Tears of Hope
8 octobre 2024, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
This morning, we took Waymaker up to Ruakaka to dump her tanks, then did the laundry in Waipu, and dumped the rubbish. When we arrived back at our camping spot on the estuary an old guy in a pick up was parked close to where I was wanting to pull in. I therefore pulled in front of him, then went back to ask him if I was leaving enough room for him to drive out.
It turned out he was the president of the local chapter of FGBMFI... a very very small chapter. After talking with him for about 40minutes plus praying for him, he left with tears of encouragement and joy running down his cheeks.. thank you for touching him Lord.En savoir plus

We Meet Again!
10 octobre 2024, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We have arrived at a Park Over Property at Ngunguru which is on the north side of Whangarei Harbour. We spent last night parked up on a beach near to the oilMarsden Point Oil Refinery.
This morning Bryan, the old guy I spent time with down at the Waipu estuary a couple of days ago, arrived in his pick up... very unexpectedly but it was a very special time once again. At the time we were enjoying a cup of tea with our dear friends who were travelling along with us while also chatting to two different local ladies.
We had spent the previous day fishing off a jetty near to the refinery... I didn't catch anything therefore it wasn't really fishing.
Photos of the jetty, Bryan, last night stop over beach, and the Whargarei Falls.En savoir plus

Busy Paihia
19 octobre 2024, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We arrived in Paihia early Friday to be surrounded by tourists from off a cruise liner in port. Therefore we joined with them and became tourist's for the day.
This morning we watching Team NZ win the Americas Cup with our buddies from Wandra then all went off to the Bay of Island Christian Fellowship.
I had the privilege of praying for Don in his car. His heart and a bad leg would not allow him to walk up the stairs to the church auditotium, and instead he sat and listened to it in his car. The Lord really touched him in a very powerful way. We look forward to an excellent report on him.En savoir plus

How long has it been? When you are cruising the country time just disappears... totally disappears!
We left Paihia last Monday and went back down to Kawakawa to dump at one of the few dump stations in the region, and then went through to the Redwood Cafe in Kerikeri to meet up with an old Air NZ mate who came on the All Black Grand Slam tour with us in 1978... wow! That makes me so old!!
Aftwards we took a drive around town to view some tourist stuff and later that day made camp at the NZMCA camp at Rainbow Falls.. right next to the deafening noise!!
We left on Wednesday to continue on to Whangaroa Harbour for lunch then onto Tauranga Bay Holiday Park for 8 days. We are now officially on holiday... time to kick back, do nothing and relax!
We have found that the ministry times are now talking Christ to people and sharing His love... not so much praying for needs as it was before. Never the less, we are here and available to Him for whatever He calls upon us.
Photos are various shots over the past week.En savoir plus

29 octobre 2024, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
After spending the night parked up behind the Karikari Comminity Centre (with permission) to escape the driving wind we set off to Kaimaumau to try out a spot of fishing at a recommended fishing spot... sadly I tore the coupling off our "grey water outlet" when trying to park up on a sand dune and spent the next few hours under Waymaker trying to resolve the problem. And with the help of some/many we did it.
We drove back to the beach community to freedom camp for the night with our friends in Wondra joining us.En savoir plus

Almost There
1 novembre 2024, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
We are now at our final stop before reaching the very top of New Zealand .. at the Pukenui Holiday Park. And we arrived just as the 800 bikies from all over the North Island also arrived on their annual Christmas Appeal Ride. What a busy town, and what a volumous noise; and as for the smell of exhaust plus burnt rubber, it was quite a welcome.
This is also where we say goodbye to Wondra as they begin to head south back to Rotorua while we press on north.
For the past two days while at Kaimaumau I tried catching fish but only caused damage to Waymaker which took hours to fix.... plus needing to be pulled out from where I had parked up yesterday afternoon... ooops!!
The weather has been favourably fine but very windy. We are both doing ok.En savoir plus

Made it!!
3 novembre 2024, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
Yes, we finally arrived at Cape Reinga on a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze blowing in from the Tasman Sea. It was so clear we could see the Three Kings Islands!! We spent much time in total awe of the incredible surroundings while looking out for whales, dolphins, or just big waves. We also spent a lot of time chatting to many tourist, a lot of whom were from 🇩🇪 Germany. We finally arrived back at our camp around 3-3:30pm.
We are now making our way back south, stopping in Kaitaia for a couple of nights to make some necessary purchases and to have Cyrus groomed... then we hit the big woods.. the kauri trees further south.
We are both very well, enjoying all God is doing, and slowly becoming well baked in the summer sun!! ... still no fish caught!! 🥵En savoir plus

VoyageurWhy you heading back south so soon. Yes, amazing views up there. Good you could actually see it all. Day we were there about 22 tourist buses. As for Waitangi it was so busy with tourists we waited for them all to go and went back in just before treaty house closed for the day.

We are now in Dargaville!! Yesterday and the day before we got caught up in the Hikoi... the first time was when we stopped to buy honey from the honey shop on the main intersection at Awanui and again later that day in Kaitaia and then again yesterday just after the Waipoua Kauri Forest when all their vehicles with flags flying pulled out from a marae right in front of us ... we were right in the middle of it all... then finally on our walk up the main street of Dargaville yesterday afternoon, they joined with us on their protest march.. anyway... it is democracy in action!
I had an opportunity to pray for a lady in church in Taipa on Sunday. It was her 85th birthday, and she was there with her brother. The word was for them both... and I found out the next day when I met the gentlemans wife that the word was spot on and was already coming about. "God you are always so good!"
Also the day after church after viewing a private museum, Chistine and I had the privilege of praying for a lady who was in incredible pain after a spinal chord operation... yes, she did have a "spasm" while praying but then she got onto her walker and paced back and forth across the room.!!
It is a wet day here today... a day to catch up with admin.
Photos are on the road shots of Oponone, Waipoua Forest and others.En savoir plus

Went to church this morning and got talking to the couple sitting beside us. Two things came from that conversation... 1) they were wanting to do what we were doing and were now planning towards it as we were their confirmation. 2) The lady had conjunctivitus ... (hay fever) spring pollin closing up her eyes and headache etc.. and once we prayed for her, it all lifted.. totally disappeared... praise God!
They have now invited us for lunch tomorrow and to park up at their home for a couple of days.En savoir plus
