Last February something new arrived in Auckland - The Gold ATM. Kiwi couple T. Jordan and his partner L. Jade embarked on the project that resulted in a machine that buys gold from the public by utilising some of the best-known technologies in the market.

The machine is smart enough to identify the type of gold by its purity with its 100% self-calibrating scale and provide an offer to you in a fair pricing manner. You have the choice - accept the offer and get paid directly to your bank account, or reject the offer and take your gold.

The process is done in 3 simple steps:
1. Introduce yourself (driver’s licence or valid ID is required).
2. Introduce your gold (place your gold on the scanner on the outside of the machine).
3. Finalise your transaction (accept the price and have the funds transferred to your account or reject the offer and take your gold away with you).

The Gold ATM system keeps records of all transactions including photos and fingerprints to provide to police to assist with any inquiries they may have.

Come and try it for yourself at one of our convenient locations.
- Botany Town Centre (by the Farmers entrance)
- Hunters Plaza Papatoetoe (food court path)

Follow us on Facebook.

Event: With God, Nothing is Impossible

The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God

This event is for those who have wanted to succeed in life, but have been unable to, no matter how hard they tried. It’s for those who feel like their problems are impossible to solve.

It’s for those who feel like their problems are impossible to solve. They’ve been everywhere, looking for help from doctors, lawyers, therapists, and even consulting spiritists, witchcraft and the occult — but their lives keep spiralling downward and they’re at the end of their rope.

That’s where the “Nothing Is Impossible” event comes. The pastors of the UCKG Help Centre will give you practical guidance about your problems, but more importantly, will cry out to God for you to reverse the impossible cases in your life.

Jesus said: … if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE for you. (Matthew 17.20)

Everyone who attends one of the sessions will get a FREE small bottle of blessed water blended with genuine drops of water from the water well at the Temple of Solomon in Brazil. This water will serve as a point of contact, a tangible way for you to use your faith and connect with God.

We challenge you to come with your problems and see for yourself what God can do in your life. If you would like more information or to reserve your bottle of water, please call our 24-hr helpline on (09) 262 2286 or 021 501 271.
