Pray for New Zealand

Today there is a parade going on in Auckland, but we will not be going. This parade was started a few years back to help boost enthusiasm about the porn industry in New Zealand. The name of the parade is "Boobs on Bikes." If that leaves you guessing, here is a little more info: 

This parade is a topless parade approved by the city council that goes through the streets of Auckland and Christchurch. This parade is for prostitutes, homosexuals, and people in the porn industry to gather interest and promote their lifestyles. As you may have guessed, most of the women in the parade are wearing close to nothing as they promote what they stand for. 

It has been interesting to hear the news this week talking about the pros and cons of this parade. In some ways, weather the parade happened or not, the purpose has already been achieved. There have been scenes on the news of the parade from last year which gave us a pretty clear shot of what was going on as nothing was blurred out. 

Will you continue to pray with us on how we can best reach a nation that has fallen so far from God? Pray for the men, women and children who are affected not just by this parade, but by the lifestyles that are being celebrated.

Wow! Sounds like what is beginning in places like San Francisco as well. We'll continue praying as a church community for your work. Peace.
