“Fishing is one of New Zealand’s most popular outdoor activities,” begins the Ministry of Primary Industry (MPI) pamphlet.

I have done recreational fishing in Germany and in Opononi in New Zealand when our kids were little.

Recreational fishing from the Pukenui wharf is popular and I watched there people fishing today.

Fishing from the Wharf in Pukenui

That actually reminded me again of my kind of fishing and I began to talk to someone who came along with a little dog pulling some kind of large ring. The dog pulled the ring on the ground in order not to get lost. I ended up telling the owner of the dog about what the Lord Jesus Christ had done in my life and is still doing in my life.

Later on also in Pukenui I talked to two more friends who know the Lord Jesus Christ. It is encouraging and it is a joy to talk to our friends who know the Lord, but the greatest joy enters our hearts when we witness to people we meet anywhere. Please read what it says in Acts 1:8.

 In Matthew 4:19 (Mark 1:17) we read:

“‘COME, FOLLOW ME,’ JESUS SAID, ‘AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN.'”
