POROUTAWHAO CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY Poroutawhao Christian Assembly celebrated its 65th
Anniversary in April 2018. It was a day of thanksgiving to the Lord for His faithfulness over many years. It was celebrated with a time of praise and thanks to God for the men He had chosen to do the foundational work in service to Himself. The happy day ended with a shared hakari and the warmth of Christian fellowship. The purpose and fellowship still continue today. In 2017 Pani Kerehoma and Ruby Deb Pupuke were baptised, fulfilling God’s command. The Word of God was shared with those attending. This same year we hosted the Aotearoa Annual Sisters’ Conference at Tatum Park for which 85 women registered. Women speakers from other Assemblies shared the Word, and many were blessed and challenged. The theme was “The King is Coming”. Follow up after the Conference has shown blessing and encouragement. It also showed the importance of preparation and the continuation of the Annual Sisters’ Conference held throughout Aotearoa. Assembly involvement over the years include cottage meetings, outreach to prisons, Bible studies with adults. It is now also combined with Community Activities, like counselling, mentoring, recycling clothing, upskilling and budgeting. These give excellent opportunities to reach people on their various levels for Jesus.
