On June 6, 2022, all the local congregations in the Ecclesiastical District of New Zealand simultaneously held an evangelical mission. Doing their part in sharing the true faith, the brethren invited their loved ones, friends, and workmates to listen to God’s words. The propagational activities were held in their respective houses of worship and were led by ministers of the gospel.

During the Bible-based preaching, the officiating ministers taught the guests concerning the importance of membership in the Church Of Christ to gain salvation on the nearing Judgment Day.

“I used to read the Bible but I didn’t understand it. What I like here [in the Church Of Christ] is that they have a clear explanation,” Arom Abanto, already a doctrinal instructee, shared.

“The lesson was clearly taught to us. I gained additional knowledge about the Church Of Christ and how it emerged in the Philippines,” said Johbert Quinto, a guest, said. His brother, Renz Quinto, a Church officer from the Hamilton Congregation, invited him to the evangelical mission. 

The brethren who actively invited guests to the said event did so with the understanding of the importance of spreading the gospel. “It is necessary for me to share my faith because this is what the Bible teaches,” said Mark Gegante, a Church officer from the Local Congregation of Hamilton. “God has a promise that if we help in the work of propagation, we can be certain of receiving salvation.” — With reports from INC News Section
