For almost 3 years I was going through a marriage break up. One of the outcomes of this was that it meant we had to sell our family home. One Sunday Chris ( the senior pastor at the time) spoke and shared his God inspired dream, about Thrive having its own family home – a building of its own. During …
God is the Giver of all Things
I just thought I would share my story so far. I have been going to Thrive for approx 3 months and I have seen so much love and goodness come into my life and the lives of my family; I believe it is more than just coincidence that good things are happening. The first things are the financial gains I …
Gift of Tongues!
One night, one of my youth leader’s asked our youth girl what was ONE thing she wanted God to do for her during camp. She said she wanted to speak in tongues. On the final night the Storm Camp Director Jared began speaking in tongues during one of the worship sessions. Emma remembered what she had asked God the night …

A New Home… with a view
So Blair and I had been praying for a couple of years for guidance on where next to live, Blair wanted views of mountains, I wanted to be in Rangiora. In 99.9% of life we agree or we compromise but this was a biggy and we couldn’t get on the same page. On Anzac day this year (2015) I went …
