After three weeks in India, the 12 Mission Team members led by Pastor Bereel and Oreen returned to New Zealand and there were plenty of stories shared to the rest of the congregation. So awesome to hear many breakthroughs, miracles and so many lives touched over in India. It was an experience our Mission Team members will never forget and the Avondale Christian Centre is a more united congregation as a result. Spiritually all members have gone to another level and we're excited for what God has in store for ACC and our ministries for the rest of 2016. 

​One week to go and the ACC Mission Team in India bid farewell to the House of Oneness ministry who hosted them for 10 days in Nagpur city. Our team prayed for God's amazing favours upon each child staying at the House of Oneness and all the staff especially to Chandru and Sudina. The team have enjoyed their stay and witnessed breakthroughs and miracles in the lives of these children which has touched the hearts of each one of them. An experience that will transform them into mighty servants of God. 

Pastor Lawrence was our guest pastor/speaker at our Sunday Service on 2 October 2016. His sermon today came from the story of Namaan (2 Kings: 5) who was healed of his leprosy by the Prophet Elisha. Among the lessons for the congregation were riches, power and position cannot buy God's favour; God can use anyone if we are willing to speak up; sharing the gospel is among the greatest things we can do as evangelists; without holiness and obedience, we cannot see God; sometimes God does not work in a way we expect but in His own way; never underestimate your power - the young girl from this story.

Our ACC Mission Team to India attended the Fire Conference at St Thomas Church, New Colony in Nagpur.
