A Call to Pray for our younger generations
Our first third
Our tamariki
Our rangatahi
"Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te mea ka tokorua o koutou e rite tahi ana nga whakaaro i te whenua mo tetahi mea e inoi ai raua, e meinga ano mo raua e toku Matua i te rangi.""
Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
"Matthew 18:19–20 (NIV)

Worship & intercede
