Christmas!

Merry Christmas all! Let me attempt the impossible task of putting Christmas her einto words...after sleeping in and exchanging gifts we headed outside and Natalie (leader) took off across the street to the church, feeling God led. It turned out they were expecting us and blessed us with a free meal, we also got to meet a couple other travelers, including a girl from Winnipeg! (1 hr from me!) This church is special because it used to be a brothel, and they have turned each room into something unique-prayer, healing, spa, and of course sanctuary. It's small but full of Holy Spirit presence and power. To make a long story short, they ended up giving us a key so we can use their building for ministry-inviting ppl in to hang, enjoy a cuppa coffee, play games, worship, etc. They've also entrusted us with thei rtill and blessed us with the use of their internet. This is clearly where God wants us, so we've cancelled our Wanaka campsite and will be here until further notice. We even managed to find free accomodation in exchange for a few hrs of cleaning per day. Last nite we prayed for each other, which really brought us closer together. This has been an amazing unexpected Christmas. God Bless!
