Life - I would love to be considered for the marraige seminar. After being married 12 years, my husband and I were going through some stuff last year. We saw someone, but what really helped was the seminar at church.
We are in a great place and would love to go to this seminar and celebrate how much better we are doing and how much closer to God we have both moved individually and as a couple. Thanks! Janine Joyce

Life: Kiaora, Greetings in Christ Jesus our King.
I would like to nominate a couple for the Marriage Retreat Gift. They are both, valued, loved, and respected members, of the body of Christ. At our fellowship, in South City Baptist Reformed Church, Karaka.
They are brother Verdun Bethem and sister Fiona.
Fiona, had major surgery yesterday afternoon.
All glory to God. She is now resting and healing in a Middlemore Hospital recovery ward.
Fiona will be in recovery for the next 6-8 weeks.
They are both beautiful and very humble and are shinning beacons of lights in a dark world that desperately need to hear the Good News Message of Salvation through Christ Jesus.
They have been holding on to a prayful hope and faith in God's promises concerning this serious medical condition for years.
A wonderful, weekend couples retreat, would be a wonderful surprise and a beautiful blessing for this lovely couple after the long struggles they have faithfully in the promises of God willing without complaint endured for years.
I believe they deserve and would truly be grateful and appreciative of such a blessing.
In a brief conversation with Fiona after her surgery she quoted:
Jeremiah 30:17
"I will give you back your health and heal your wounds," says the Lord.
Grace in Christ Jesus.
Brother Gordon.

My husband Ranny and I will be celebrating 13 years of marriage this December and we are so thankful for the life God has blessed us with. We have three amazing children: Christopher, Gabriel and Nicholas, with our youngest being just three years old. Our days are full of energy, noise and a whole lot of love. We adore our whānau life but we know how important it is to look after our marriage too. A course like this would be such a gift giving us the chance to step away from the busyness for a moment be refreshed and grow even stronger together. We truly believe that when our marriage is thriving our whole whānau is blessed and we would love the opportunity to celebrate that with this experience.
Nga mihi nui,

Life Please pray for my 16-year-old daughter. We're coming to a crossroads in her life. She has disengaged from school and is not interested in any work or training opportunities. She is getting deeper and deeper into a pit and some days doesn't get out of bed. Her phone addiction causes a lot of conflict between us. We just hate seeing her so disengaged from the world. Please pray that God will reveal himself to her, help her to gain a new zest for life and discover her passion in life.

Asking for prayer for God's help in bringing fresh revenue to the business. I feel that there are also many small businesses across the country that have the same need, so this prayer request is for all of us ��❤️

I heard the end of the marriage give away thing and am not 100% sure on what it's actually for but I thought I'd message my why anyway.
My name is Shadae Tumanuvao, I'm 24 years old and my husband and I have been married for 1 year. Due to limited finances we didn't have a time to get away after being married and often don't get time to get away from our day to day lives and weekends full of leading a youth group, children's church and worship team. We'd love to be the winners of this and have the opportunity to embrace in some time away enjoying each other's presence in the presence of our loving Heavenly Father.

Life - I would love for my husband and I to go to this Journey to Us marriage retreat. We have been married for 37 years but it has been an incredibly tough grind. Many times I have wondered if I can stay any longer but earlier this year I was at a major cross roads of staying or leaving but stayed because I want it to work so badly. My husband has begun to step up since then but we desperately need some tools to help us. He's not open to going and seeing a counsellor but this sort of scenario would be perfect as it's us working together. Please, please, please may we be considered for this weekend. 🙏🏻

-Focus on the Family
Good morning,
My wife and I have been long-time supporters of Focus on the Family, and your ministry has had a meaningful impact on our lives over the years. Back when we lived in South Africa, we had the privilege of attending several of your events—those memories still stay with us.
Three years ago, we immigrated to New Zealand with our two young daughters. It has been a challenging journey—starting over in a new country, far from family and familiar support systems. As we’ve tried to build a new life here, our focus has naturally been on our children. They receive most of our time, attention, and affection as we work to give them a sense of security and belonging in this new environment.
But in the midst of pouring ourselves into our kids, we’ve found that our marriage has quietly taken a back seat. We’re still committed to each other and to God, but we’ve come to realize how much we long to reconnect—not just with each other, but with the vision God has for our marriage.
A marriage-focused, God-centered retreat would truly be a gift—manna from heaven in this season of our lives.
Thank you for all you continue to do.
Warm regards,
Ben
