Michal becomes born again

Hi there
It's been a long time again. Michal ( from Czech republic) has been with us now for 6 months. He has recently become a believer in Jesus Christ. He is so hungry for the word of God he is reading it every day for about an hour. He devoures every word. He recently went down to the river and baptized himself. When I said that was good but can we do it again with some others so as to make it a witness he was ok with that. So now we will be doing that again ( when the weather improves).

I have been going to a lot of horse camps. A few of them are at Omahu valley which is 15 minutes north of Paeroa towards Thames. It is a place going back in time.
Most of the people going are riders from all over the country and it is rare or never to find a christian amoungst them. A lot of them are cussing and blaspheming which is hard to swallow.  Also a lot of drinking going on and the consecqences thereof.
I have found it hard to be alone as a christian in that group. I have prayed for so long for an on fire christian to come alongside me and to be a participant and fellow supporter in prayer and in the camps because the word says" one can put a thousand to flight and 2 can put 10.000 to flight. The sweet influence of the presence of Christ makes all the difference.
Well that christian has turned up. We had a trek with a nice Maori lady and her 3 grand children. She  had seen our little poster on the toilet wall: John 3:16" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whosoever belies in him should not perish but have everlasting life."
She went for the trek with us and halfway through the trek she couldn't hold back any longer and asked me" Are you believers?" I said yes! So after that we had a great long chat. All the things we do here she wanted to do and felt very much on her heart. Passion for horses and riding, loves people and doing outreaches, etc etc.
But... They live in Te Puke. Then after a few weeks I heard the news that they got a house ( for free) on their daguhters orchard here in katiKati and can move here in a few weeks.

So I am looking forward to praying and riding with her and also with our pastors wife Sharon who has the same passion.
Meanwhile we had our Omahu weekend last weekend( 16th to18th of March.)
So my vision is to have this kind of horsecamp but with many more born again on fire christians who are passionate horse riders and love tio reach out to the horsey community.
