On October the 14th, in Hamilton, we had the joy of ordaining five deacons and one presbyter into the Church Of Confessing Anglicans Aotearoa New Zealand. The deacons were Graham Corban (Abide Church Hamilton); River Devereux (Church of the Ascension); Peter Fulton (West Hamilton Community Church); Bryce Kivell and HsiEn Soo (McLeod Bay Christian Fellowship linked in with Church of the Ascension). Matthias Loong was ordained presbyter, and he will be starting the church plant in Wellington in 2024. It was a great service and a joy to see these six take a step in their service of the Lord.
This week we will be having two more ordinations in Dunedin. Aaron Mattingly and Richard Morley-John are both to be ordained deacon and will be serving next year at Hope Church in Dunedin.
Please do pray for all these new clergy in CCA.
