Hope Project

Hi believers :-)

Please read the below and consider doing as I have done - making another pledge, and then forwarding (copy and paste) this to every Christian you know in NZ, but with your own note at the top.

I wholeheartedly believe this project is needed - and pray you do the same. 

We will not communicate the Christian message clearly with every home in our nation next year without this - nor have we done so for 30 or more years in our nation, even though there is nothing to stop us from doing so. This is needed!

If we could connect this to a sizable group through emails, we could still pull this one off!

Thanks!

God Bless

Next year is the Gospel bicentenary in Aotearoa-New Zealand

 - and we could lose our greatest opportunity.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you believe it is important that the Christian message is somehow shared with all New Zealanders?

Would you help ensure the Gospel got to every home in NZ, if you had the opportunity?

If a team of people existed with a plan that could accomplish this, and their vision was going to fall over without your help - would you help?

This is the current situation!

-       The plan is ready to go - but we are $840,000 short of our '7 months to go' target.  

-       We are about to lost this opportunity... ...unless God's people stand to say otherwise.

What's the 'Hope Project' plan?

-       As a part of the bicentenary celebrations, the 'Jesus - all about hope' project is seeking to engage NZers in a conversation about Christian faith (sharing the Christian message) through multimedia in the Easter period - connecting with every home - which we've not done in NZ for 30 years. 

-       If you don't know about it, check out the vision at www.hopeproject.co.nz  

-       Check out some references at www.hopeproject.co.nz/references

The need: The project needs another $840,000 pledged by 9am on Monday 19th of August, 2013, to continue.

The solution: If we could we find 1000 people before 19th August who would give $200 - $5000, then the Gospel would go to every home, not only in their community - but in our nation - next year!

-       This is about the Gospel of Jesus, very well communicated, with reasons and stories to support, through a multimedia 'conversation' crafted by media professionals. 

-       It will be well presented, engaging, and hope-inspiring (See the website!).

-       This will bring life! 

Summary:  This won't happen unless a number of NZ believers stand and do something now to ensure it does.

Will you help make this happen?

- Please (1) pledge now at www.hopeproject.co.nz/donate   

- Then (2) forward this email, with your endorsement, to every believer you know in Aotearoa - so every home can hear.

Please make a decision now - because if you 'wait and see what happens', nothing will happen!  What will you do?

Please look at: www.hopeproject.co.nz/donate

   "...how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" 

(Romans 10.14).

Tobys Adventure

Toby and I had an adventure today. Well I had an appointment to go look at a property for potential storage for Youth Zone gear. I took Toby with me I rolled up to what I thought was the address according to GPS (not clearly marked) Toby and I walked around building trying to find the person we were meeting. Annoyed I couldn't find anyone or the place got Toby and placed him in the van. Got around to the drivers door and found it was locked reached for my keys and saw them sitting neatly in front of Toby on the dash board. Raced over to Tobys door and found that locked to. Then that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach started to appear and I thought..... Oh No What Now?????. Checking over every door in van hoping one was open even checked all windows. Heres Toby smiling and oblivious to what was going on in my brain. I then reached for the phone I was sure Renate could come to my rescue. No phone that too was sitting nicely on the dashboard as well. Calmly speaking to Toby of which was all belted in and couldn't move much explained that I can't get in can you reach the door to open. Before I said more I heard a click of the door. I didn't even see him move. But quickly opened the door and found out he could lock the door with his toe. After a few words to Toby to never lock the door again. I never realised but after I closed the door he locked it with his foot (clever boy) So we then started off home and then saw the guy we were meant to meet about 200m down the road. Close but not close enough.......Then we got home and shared story with Renate she showed great sympathy by rolling around the floor with laughter. Renate adds: So last night as I was checking the kids before heading to bed, I hear Toby mumbling in his sleep.... I stood there a little longer and then I hear him say "tee dee!.... Ta da!... See, me open it!". Hahaha... I wonder if he was talking about the van door??!!?
