HOUHORA: Some of the team stayed here.

Forty five people belonged to the team that was here from Auckland in Kaitaia to tell people about the Lord Jesus Christ. They reached people not only here in Kaitaia, but also in Houhora and Whatuwhiwhi with the Gospel.

As you can well imagine it was not difficult to get in touch with the mainly young people, and I talked to some members of the team.

They were more or less in charge of the church service at Te Ahu here in Kaitaia on the last Sunday of 2017. On the back of their upper garments was written “Church Unlimited” and on the front your could see the message:

“LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE.”

Reading the message “LOVE GOD .LOVE PEOPLE,” reminds me of what the Lord Jesus Christ answered, when he was asked by a Pharisee, “Master, which is the great commandment in the law?” The answer of the Lord Jesus Christ was, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

You find that in the BIBLE, in the book of Matthew (Matthew 22:36-39).

The greatest commandment is to love God and to love people.

After the church service at Te Ahu I found myself talking to one member of the team and I really felt  that that person really loved people. Do I love people. Do you love people?
