Kia ora whānau,

How was the reading that I gave you last week? What new discovery did you learn? Do you have any questions? I loved the quote from Steve Holmes about Baptists that said, “it is difficult to think of another Christian tradition that has so uniformly seen mission as being so central to its vision of the life of the church.” How exciting that we are part of a movement who love Jesus so much that we want to share His love with all those we meet.

This week I have something a bit different for you. Again it is something to help us all get on the same page. You can watch it here or just listen to the audio here. Please, please take the time to invest in listening as we move forward together.

Ngā mihi nui,
Rachel
