Last Saturday in the morning the town of Kaitaia was full of people.

I saw a man standing in the middle of the town almost opposite the Post Office  leaning on a walking stick and holding a Bible in his hand and talking.

For quite some time I stood behind him hearing him proclaiming the Gospel. What a joy to listen to him. Eventually I had a chance to talk to him. So far as I know I have never met him before , but he looked into my face and knew that I was a brother in Christ.

He is 81 years of age,  received a permit to stand there and preach the Gospel 50 years ago and has done that for the  last 50 years.

He gave me two little booklets from the “Bible and Gospel Trust”.

The exclusive Brethren are preaching the Gospel on Commerce Street in Kaitaia……. and not only in their official meeting halls!
