outreach

After the lecture phase, I went to New Zealand with a team of ten where we were part of a national tour called the "All-in tour". We worked alongside local Kiwis, a team from South Africa, Los Angeles, and Australia. It was such an honor to be able to partner with what the people of New Zealand are doing! During this tour, we went city to city hosting Gospel nights and doing evangelism the next day with people who had come to the event the night before. We saw crazy miracles including people getting set free from suicide, healed, and saved!

One of the most incredible testimonies from this tour happened a few weeks into our tour. New Zealand has a very high suicide rate, especially among youth, and that was something we prayed about before and during our time in New Zealand. We were hosting a Gospel night at a church and the woman speaking was telling her testimony on how God broke off suicide over her life. While she was telling her story one of the young girls from the community related so much to her story she got scared and left the building. What we didn't know was that she was so overwhelmed that she was planning on going home and committing suicide. But, God always wins. One of the women on our team heard the still small voice from the Lord to go and speak with her. She followed her outside and the girl ended up confessing to wanting to go and kill herself, my teammate got to lead her through forgiveness and how she is loved by God through everything. She ended up accepting Jesus into her life, repenting, and getting set free from suicidal thoughts that night! This is just one incredible testimony of what God did in New Zealand, and it will forever be a part of my life I will never forget.

I learned so many incredible things on our tour of New Zealand and can't wait to go back someday and visit old friends and see how much more God has done in their amazing country!
