Call to All has been one adventure. God gave our team many opportunities to pray over and speak life into the young people of New Zealand. In our last night we were asked to find someone either younger or older than ourselves.
I felt God telling me to go hug older women and young girls. Those hugs gave me more strength. I walked up to a Maori named Mericia. When we hugged I felt something special. She asked me to pray over her. After I prayed she prayed over me. Midstream her prayer she put her hand on my head and asked God to bless me and my people like he has blessed her and her people. She asked that God give my family what He has given hers. She prayed that my family would rise up as warriors. She then asked if she could do the Hongi on me. After pressing our noses together and breathing into one another, she asked if I knew what it stood for. She said she was breathing the life of her and her family into the life of mine. It was so special. She said she was kissing my mother and father. I felt so privileged to have a Maori pray over me. At the end she had me pray over her children. I am still awed by God and the blessings we have received here. We came to give blessings to others and they have been such a blessing to us.
