Miracle Healing

There was a time when tent revivals were held regularly, and the word of God was preached in the open and outside the four walls of a church building. And it was usually at a time of great need for Hope. I believe there is a need today, and I believe it is time for healing in our land.

My name is Graham Thomas, and I have a message of Hope. I will be praying for the sick to be healed. Praying for freedom from physical and mental issues. Praying for deliverance.
Nau mai, haere mai. Come and hear the word of God and come to receive and witness the miracle of healing.

Police would like to speak to anyone that may have witnessed either of these incidents, in particular any footage of the incident that may have been recorded at the time.

The victims received a number of injuries, including stab wounds which required hospital treatment. This was witnessed by several members of the public who were forced to stop as the incident unfolded before them.

- Anyone that can assist staff investigating the first incident can contact Police either in person or on 105, referencing Operation Hemi, or Operation Oak in relation to the second matter.
- Alternatively, information can be give to Crime Stoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Susan Williams from Frankleigh Park in New Plymouth has nominated Kathryn Shaw as a Nice Neighbour. She says:
'Kathryn and her partner Chris spent all Waitangi day replacing and repairing our dividing fence, they did such an amazing job. Chris also brought me a load of firewood when I ran out in winter for which I was so grateful. If I ever need a hand with any heavy work or lifting, I know I only have to ask and they are there. There have been so many instances over the years where Kathryn's help has been given, too many to name. I wouldn't swap my neighbours for anyone else this is why I am still here after 20 years.'

Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
