An Evangelical Free Church

Commissioning Service
World Harvest Fellowship (WHF)- Auckland took off with its Commissioning Service on 12 November 2023 at Pakuranga Community Hall.
​
The historic event was graced by Pastor Jun Sabate, Missions Director of WHF International Ministries and Pastor Rod Rodriguez, Executive Director, WHF North California (USA).
​
Both pastors led the commissioning of WHF - Auckland's Pastor Danny Ninal and the induction of its officers during the service.
​
The church's music ministry team directed by Jonathan Sarmiento uplifted the congregation throughout the service. The church-goers were then treated to a sumptuous dinner right after.
​
One of the attendees simply said, "I am blessed! Thank you for inviting me". A hint of hope, a surge of faith and a promise of God's blessings!

Please check the short video of the event and our visiting pastors' trip.
