Precept News Letter

Jun, 2010

Our Precept office is moving!
This month the Precept office is moving from our spare bedroom to the Cogita Building 20 Amersham Way, Manukau.
We will be sharing two floors with 8 other wonderful ministries. Please book an appointment as usual if you want to visit us.

Open Afternoon and MOVE-IN SALE
Inspect our new office on Saturday, 3 July 2010 between 2-4pm. This will be a great opportunity for those of you who wish to take advantage of the MOVE-IN SALE . You are welcome to pre-order and pre-pay so that I can have your books ready for you when you pop-in on the day. 

Book tables
Both book tables at the Christian headmasters at the conference in Wellington and the Christian school in Orewa were a success. At the latter, the teachers were enthralled with our resources. How they longed to have a book for each student in their classes! Unfortunately, lack of funding is the stumbling block here.

Website
The Lord has provided an expert to help us with the website. I am rejoicing over his expertise, the generous giving of his time and the improved site. God really does care!

Email Bible study
If you would like to join our group in 2 Peter NISS “Living with Discernment in the End Times”, please contact us at  admin@precept.org.nz.
If you are simply re-enrolling and already have the book, please register by sending a cheque to Precept Ministries NZ of $22 or depositing on ASB 12-3040-0746599-00. Eleanor will then contact you. Hasn’t she done a great job leading us through 1 Peter?

Help:
Are you traveling back to Auckland from the States (not Hawaii) or Singapore and have some space to bring back Precept books?

Thank the Lord for:

- His wonderful and generous provision in every way: support in prayer, encouragement, return plane ticket and accommodation in Wellington, financial provision and website support, office desk and chair
- Several “old” groups continuing and new groups starting up

Pray for:

- soul-searching and changes for good as Precept students and facilitators discover Truth in the Word
-  sponsors for prison books – we no longer have any books available 
- much interest in the book tables and workshops
at the Christian School in Albany 21-24 June 2010 and
at the HEART conference 25-27 June 2010
- the move to our new premises and the provision of the following:            
• analogue phone – do you have a spare one?
• laptop with business programmes
• finances to pay for the electrical socket that is already installed
• finances for the combined insurances ($750)
• ca.$820 to cover the cost of already existing built-in shelving for all our books in the storage area

The Lord has wonderfully provided for Precept in the past.  He has continued to meet Precept’s every need. I look forward with confidence to seeing Him meet our present needs. Let’s keep working together to transform this, our country, from the inside out, by the power of God’s Word, alive in us to walk in obedience!

In Him,
Barbara Kipfer
