New Zealand Trip-Dedication

On our trip Ariki's Mum had a Dedication party for the kids. It is basically like a Baptism performed by Ariki's Dad (Pastor John) dedicating their lives to walk in God's way, truth, light and to keep those around the kids accountable to help lead them in the right direction in life. It was a beautiful ceremony. Ariki's Mum cooked heaps of food for everyone. Family came from all over and we had a great time.
