A big reason why I came to NZ at this time was for the “Gathering” Wesleyan Methodist convention/family camp, to get more of an idea of who is a part of the Wesleyan movement here in NZ. In three words- it was amazing. I kid you not there had to be more than 7 nationalities and cultures represented. People from the Pacific Islands: Fijians & Samoans, Tongans, some Americans, Korean, Chinese, German, English, South African and Kiwis… It was amazing; literally a little eye into what heaven will be like; all these people from all over the world worshiping the Triune God. It is crazy because there is NOTHING else in the world besides our faith in Christ that would unite people from all these diverse cultures together. I love being a part of the body of Christ and I look forward to being here in NZ more permanently.
