Kia ora Whakatane. Victory Church Murupara is hosting special services from Thursday 26th Sep to Sunday 29th Sep. All are welcome especially those that are in need of physical and mental healing.
The very mention of the name Jesus Christ can either bring hope, or skepticism. All I can say is that I have seen people healed and I have spoken to many who can testify that they tried every possible option and failed, and it was only when they gave it to Jesus, that they were healed and their GPs could not explain it. It is because it was and is a miracle of God. So come along. You are most invited.
