RECLAIMING OUR CITY

Expressing the Voice of the People
As an anti-corruption officer my position is that the city council

. must stop installing smart city surveillance networks, turning roads into clownish obstacle courses
. must stop social engineering to manage behavioural change
. must stop violating people's lawful rights to self-determination
. must stop coercing people into taking injections and medical interventions
. must stop assuming that the people of Hamilton will keep paying for their mistakes
. must stop publishing promotional documents which hide negative impacts and trade-offs
. must stop squandering funds on transforming their "One World Order" agendas

These are spiritual, golden Kingdom Age Jubilee principles of the reign of Chrisr over all, bringing freedom, justice and equality for all.

Reigning in Grace supports pro-male policies
MINITATANGA MO NGA TANE

Pro Male Group Wears a Black Ribbon
The Pro Male Community group is promoting its Black Ribbon Campaign again this year, reminding us that 'Men Matter Too'.

Spokesperson Jack Gielen said that violence towards men deserves as much attention as any other violence, but male victims are often ignored. "Men are the most frequent victims of violence in our community. Male victims hurt just as much and die just as fully as anyone else".

The Pro Male Group encouraged people to wear a black ribbon and to reject the White Ribbon Campaign because it blames men for all violence and ignores male victims of violence. Black ribbons say "Show you're against violence towards women, men and children".

The Pro Male Group also hoped to draw attention to other issues such as men's high suicide rate, high rates of male workplace death and serious injuries, shorter life spans and father's frequent loss of a meaningful role in their children's lives following separation.

"Many areas of gender inequality have been ignored and we have lost sight of the importance of caring about men as well as women. The Ministry of Women's Affairs has received over $100 million since it was set up while men's issues have received the sum total of $0. Its time New Zealand worked towards true gender equality by now reducing the many ways in which men are disadvantaged". "We hope people who care about men too will come to our campaign events and show us support".

If you would like to know more about men's rights refer to the Ministry of Men's Affairs facebook pages (MOMA).

Pro Male Group Policies
1. Support for a shared parenting bill. Equal rights for both parents.

2. Balanced mediation family law policy. Family mediation counselling. Reconciliatory justice. Replacing Family Court with mediation procedures.

3. Promoting and establishing men's refuge centres and homeless shelters modelled on the Wiseman's centre in Auckland.

4. Promoting father and youth mentoring, providing good role models for fathers and youths.

5. Father Heart Ministries. Every male is called to be a father, whether single or married, modelling themselves on the father heart of God.

6. God's army - cadet life skills training where individuals are taught to be soldiers of Christ.

7. Common law health and wellbeing - an alternative model promoting healing and restoration, including patient's rights. Some examples are ionised water, quartz crystals creating orgon energy through photons of light, herbs, vitamins and minerals, healing hands.

8. Rethinking crime and punishment - restorative justice. We need to develop modes of punishment that focus on restoration rather than effective pain delivery. We need a holistic response from the state to victims, seeking to fully understand and help repair the harm done; calling for a broader conversation about true justice for victims. We need greater prison reform focusing on rehabilitation along with community support with access to parole.

9. Ti Kanga Maori cultural practises emphasising spiritual healing and restoration. Whanau Ora Maori Health and Well Being.

a) Ti hei Mauri ora life force workers honouring the life-force and the preciousness of life, providing buddy support, encouragement and help.

b) The Pou Pou Whaamoomo Te ahi-ka roa - the eternal flame fanning the spark into flame; rekindling hopes and dreams through a nurturing, caring, guiding, mentoring model.

c) Te Ara Mariekura Papatuanuku - the corporate Shulamite lightwoman calling forth the lost tribes; a role model for men; the masculine bride; warrior princes epitomising initiation and response. These are Humanitarian Moderators promoting Rangimarie peaceful resolutions through mediation, teaching angry individuals to manage their anger, emptying out and refilling. Mauri Ora light force workers, apostolic angel princes.

"Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?" (Song of Solomon 6:10 AV)

"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:" (Revelation 12:1 AV)

"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." (Revelation 12:5 AV)

MISSION STATEMENT: The Buddy Support, Trauma Recovery, Advocacy Training Service involves enlightenment leading to transformation, empowering people - mothers, fathers and children, to change using their higher power and a Te Whare Tapa Wha - spiritual, mental, physical and social sphere model. Everyone puts on an Uenuku Korowai garment of light honouring the life force vital principle, Te He Mauri Ora, in everyone. Advocacy training gets people the help they need. Advocacy supports people and parents through family court encouraging Hauora healing, rehabilitation and recovery, helping them to fight the stigmatisation faced when children are uplifted. Advocacy training with causes and Buddy Support Trauma Recovery transformation identifies individual rights and responsibilities, dealing with the links to suicide. Lets consider reasons for advocacy.

1. Advocacy with causes allows you to apply for funding; fitting in with Charity Commission requirements as advocacy benefits society, helping people. Advocacy empowers mothers, fathers and other people to identify their rights and responsibilities.

2. Advocacy with causes endorses family restoration including advocacy for children; Mum, dad and the children Whanau Ora, both the biological and the extended family being healed. The bureaucratic system creates family alienation when you don't focus on family mediation and co-parenting, identifying with the dynamics which need changing; supporting real family values. The OT (Oranga Tamariki) ombudsmen accountability structure urgently requires independent evaluators as it appears that the puppeteers are creating broken famiilies with the lines going back to OT family wreckers; where scared parents have been burnt. Where are the social structures and strong advocates with wraparound arms services and community support? Where are the mental health advocates and suicide prevention initiatives to help parents, children and families to change and transform?

3. Advocacy with causes requires a proper social structure, empowering mothers and fathers to heal themselves. Advocacy helps them to self litigate or self represent by writing down and defining their journeys, providing a trauma recovery process facilitated by common law practitioners and court McKenzie Friends. This also includes court advisors being supervised by lawyers. Advocacy provides father/mother mentors including godparents, like grandparents and relations who can be there as role models.

4. Advocacy with causes provides a social structure promoting transformation with a code of ethics enabling mothers and fathers and state abused children and those suffering from alienation and addiction, to volunteer their abilities and skills; to help them selves by helping others. These are unskilled workers gaining experience as buddy supporters, humanitarians, trained mentors and law students. The code of ethics involves confidentiality, a complaints procedure, respect, equality and compassion, non-biased gender neutrality, humble cooperation, no smoking, drugs or alcohol, professional conduct, personal supervision and principles before personalities.

5. Advocacy training fits in with Treaty of Waitangi and Whakaputanga common law policy, acknowledging the sovereignty of chieftainship which promotes self-determination or Tinarangatiratanga, which focuses on the rights of all people. Advocacy promotes Wairuatanga or spiritual higher power expressed in honouring the life force or vital principle in everyone. Whakaputanga common law policy creates an enabling model for self responsibility and determination allowing parents to assert their bloodline hereditary rights, being proactive, not reactive in the law courts. There is the interloper non-biased judge, the principle you and the ecclesiastical God-granter of dominion, allowing you to assert your common law right; lore/law and legal privilege legalised with the help and assistance of your sovereign McKenzie Friend, who represents you in court pleading your case.

6. Advocacy training with causes provides the enabling power to facilitate a NZSPT (NZ Suicide Prevention Trust) rehabilitation program for those in prison, assessing risk, considering awareness, insight and behaviour using their higher power conscience and aesthesitic higher ideals and angels of our being. The way you manifest or react in a disagreement, or to an addiction, becomes a therapeutic opportunity. Why did you trigger or relapse? You want a win-win situation, otherwise there is a reaction with no empathy. Using the traffic light system, stop, think and act with our Buddy Support program, you put together a wellness plan, facing who you are, before stepping into a useful role. You do a countdown, ten years at a time in your life, looking at triggers, abuses and areas of deprivation found within your shadow, before ascending into the positive light of the twelve ambassador functionaries, e.g. the listener, the buddy supporter, the grief counsellor using talking therapy. We also use questionnaire tools to assess risks like patient self-harm risk as well as a generic depression and anxiety questionnaire, also acknowledging covid restrictions and pro-choice.

7. Advocacy training provides the opportunity for a health and wellbeing resources expo spirit fest. The twelve ambassador functionaries can empower individuals to fulfil or perform health and wellbeing roles. There is also a transformational leadership training indigenous model involving 1) the colour yellow empowering Mauri-Ora leaders. 2) the colour green empowering Ahurutanga leaders who lead by using communication and collaboration. 3) the colour purple empowering Kaupapa Matua managers and leaders upholding who we are and where we are going. 4) the colour orange empowering Kaitiakitanga wise leaders achieving organisational goals. 5) the colour blue empowering Kohapunga anchor transformational leaders of innovation in cultural new thinking with continuous improvement. This is where the expo helps those involved to use their talents and abilities to help each other. There is 'making your journey visual' art therapy and speakeasy theatre. There is also ministry to mental health advocates using a spiritual model with a medical model. There are many fathers and mothers who can mentor and offer a service as holistic healers, matakiti insightful seers (intuitive readers) or messengers of hope.

8. Advocacy training can facilitate Buddy Support Trauma Recovery, suicide prevention, 'silence no more' awareness marches, where participants remember their lost loved ones, quietly releasing balloons into the air; practising transforming bonds of attachment through a grief facilitation process; acknowledging loved ones on the other side of the veil. The Buddy Support Trauma Recovery Program provides a listener, a buddy supporter and a grief facilitator, using indigenous therapies; allowing individuals to put a wellness recovery plan in place; practising emotional wounding recovery. Join us and march to promote suicide prevention awareness days in Garden Place Hamilton and in your local area, bi-monthly. ( INSERT DATE/TIME ) Call 0508 435728 for help. Become a front line worker - call 020 41840082.

9. Advocacy training with causes helps us to promote Sunshine Singalong acts and gigs, promoting health and wellbeing; championing the cause of the universal spirit using trainer, educator entertainment. This involves using guides, counsellors, facilitators, coaches, mentors, caregivers and community leaders. The classroom becomes a stage using awe and wonder, engagement and novelty through the purple insightful seer who educates and enlightens using self expression. Speakeasy Theatre uses singing, acting, dancing and storytelling, where everyone participates in the sharing. If you would like to host a Buddy Support Trauma Recovery gig at your pub, restaurant or local venue, contact me (Jack Gielen) on 027 6780867.

10. Advocacy training with causes involving mentoring fathers and mothers, practising family mediation. This helps them to become common law practitioners, self representing in court. We are also seeking to establish common law courts within our communities where the judges appointed are answerable to the people. This gives us the opportunity to go into businesses, community halls and homes, offering many workshops and seminars where we instruct the people on natural jurisdiction. If you would like us to come and host an event contact Jack on 027 6780867. Your company can use its influence through the public, to share its support for a social environment or political cause using ambassador branding logos.

11. Advocacy training with causes promotes mental health advocacy working in partnership with you as a peer mentor. This is to have your rights heard in order to help you obtain the services and resources you need. Mental health advocacy uses a spiritual model with a medical model using the pou pou waiouma ouma - a caring nurturing, guiding, mentoring model assisting you in doing a wellness recovery plan; identifying key triggers in areas of abuse; refocusing you on positive roles and functions. There is a higher power, religious approach as well as advocacy in a peer mentoring approach utilising your higher power. Advocacy also works with patient's rights, teaching them to take responsibility, cooperating with their higher power. We also respect covid restrictions and pro choice using a questionnaire to assess patient self-harm risk, namely suicide first aid which involves connection, confrontation, confirmation and contracting with a safety plan. We also use the anxiety-depression questionnaire to assess need.

12. Advocacy training with causes helps you connect with the Church of Zion and daystar apostleship. This is all about direct access to God as Father with heavenly downloads, claiming your inheritance in Christ. The Apostolic Reformation Third Wave Age transitions the church into the reign of Christ, demonstrating and implementing the gospel into seven kingdom mountains of arts, business, education, family, government, media and religious spheres. "For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet." (1 Cor 15:25); "...The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Rev 11:15); "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (Rev 22:20). Whether you are pre, mid or post millennial it is about Christ reigning upon the earth with us as king-priests with Christ progressively coming within us believers "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, ..." (2 Thess 1:10 AV)

The Rainbow Ribbons Buddy Support Trauma Recovery Program has a spiritual as well as a natural side. With enlightenment leading to transformation each individual puts on an uenuku garment of light and sound, becoming Ephraim Andrew Starmen as Yellow Buddy Supporters.

Alignment with Daystar Apostleship and New Jerusalem Diamond. A ball of pulsating colour and energy, a universal oracle, the Urim and Thummim bleeping lights within the NJ Game uniting all the tribes with the Angel of the Lord of hosts (Rev 21:15-16), the bright and morning star. Davidic Godmen and the Lord Jesus Christ wearing Urim and Thummim. God's eternal rainbow linking up with the New Jerusalem gemstones. There is a spiritual and natural understanding, down six steps with a wellness plan; up six steps becoming uplifters, wise leaders, insightful seers, humanitarians, messengers of hope and life mentors

Who are we?
Grace In House Prison Ministries is an initiative of the N.Z. Suicide Prevention Trust as managed and directed by our principal trustees - Jack Gielen, Gloria Bridgeman and Kerry Bevan, having the affiliates Prisoner's Supporters Trust, PARS and Reintegration Services. Grace In House Prison Ministries is a charitable organisation with the Christian dedication to successful facilitation of the following statement of specified intentions.

Specified Intentions
To establish and maintain, for the inmates of prisons in New Zealand, a holistic healing program of self improvement that resolves issues of addictions and dysfunctional family and relationship problems that have affected their lives and have led to their imprisonment through a lack of anger management, low self esteem and antisocial behaviour.

Holistic healing program: This program is facilitated by the supply of appropriate literature based on Christian principles - books to promote methods to improve communication and self confidence, the resolution of grief trauma and confirmation of interpersonal relationship skills. This correlation of effective healing remedies is implemented to complement training courses as provided by the Corrections Department with the purpose of providing inmates with a much more comprehensive curriculum of subjects , promoted and facilitated by the inmates who are then thus able to progress much more quickly towards their time of eligibility for parole, equipped with the ability to return to society again and redeemed from those patterns of behaviour and attitudes that have caused their offending. They are thus unlikely to return to prison again.

Letter writing: To establish and maintain among inmates and those caring members of the community a Buddy Support Fellowship where regular communication, support and encouragement is confirmed by writing letters to keep in touch and so bring comfort and consolation to the prisoners who sadly have nobody in the outside world who cares about their situation. So many men and women have been deprived of the love and respect of their families and spend many lonely hours considering the consequences of their actions, feeling that they have been abandoned and are unworthy; where severe depression that often leads to suicide is a regrettable outcome. Having a pen friend who does not judge or criticise brings such a profound uplifting of the spirit and to share understanding and be accepted as one who has strayed from their pattern of normal behaviour is surely to know genuine compassion in its most meaningful and confirming expression as Jesus Christ would have us to be, to become redeemers of the unfortunate, the rejected; to know love again; to never be alone.

Buddy Support meetings: The establishment and maintenance of daily Buddy Support meetings among the inmates where they facilitate social interaction and resolve the issues that create disharmony and may lead to situations where bullying, persecution and assaults will occur, whereby some privileges are withdrawn and extra sentence time given as penalties. The words brother and sister (in the case of women prisoners,) inspire emotions of family unity so that to call these assemblies Bro Power instills the feeling of being together as a group with a common purpose and with the objective of dealing with conflicts (before they get out of hand) in a peaceful and harmonious environment where individuals who contribute to the resolving of situations of confrontation confirm the virtues of the Second Commandment that requires us to so love our neighbour; to treat each other in the manner we wish to be treated ourselves. To forgive, forget the indifference we are often guilty of; to encourage and to advise those going through difficult times; to be mentors, big brothers, confidants and confessors and to be trusted and loyal in a harsh and perilous environment where a friendship is truly valued. To be empowered to spiritual maturity through an ongoing exercise of faith, hope and charity refreshed within the discernment and guidance of the Holy Spirit; to be able to make and to hold to the right decisions and so not return to the behaviour that has led to imprisonment and to follow the principles of self determination and sound moral character as so encouraged by the Grace In House Ministries Trust, restored, honourable and of benefit to society once more.

Problems in the existing system: The training courses that can reform and prepare inmates for parole are mostly unavailable to them when needed most because of a lack of qualified staff and funding - the parole system itself a minefield of glaring discrepancies, over-regulated and totally inefficient in purpose. In the recent case of an inmate with a 3 year sentence, he became eligible for parole after one year but during that time had no access to the self improvement programs necessary for him to attend so as to be granted a hearing at the Rimutaka prison where he was first sent on remand. These course were supposedly available at Rolleston prison near to Christchurch so he was sent hundreds of miles away from his family to find that there were even less of the appropriate courses available to him or indeed anybody else who wanted to apply for the early release as they are entitled to; that because of abysmal bureaucratic incompetence he now has no other option but to serve his full time even though recommended well by the staff at Rimutaka and having a commendable record of good behaviour and a willingness to do all that was required. New Zealand is known around the world as the country which locks people up the most into our penal and mental institutions. There are 9000 inmates in 20 prisons with two more new prisons under way. More that 14000 a year are remanded through the courts where a corrupt legal system has little representation of true justice. Delays of up to a year before sentencing make for the presence of many Mercedes and BMWs around professional chambers, where the members of supposed victim's families have plenty of time to viciously persecute defendants. Many of whom are completely innocent; where police, judges and lawyers share the same bedroom - a disgraceful aberration of fair treatment and not our New Zealand as it used to be at all. So many good men and women are losing their identities in a repressive, authoritarian system - losing their hope, their families, their future, their self respect and dignity and too often their lives in a tiny cell, broken and forgotten by those who once loved them, and so terribly alone.

What we hope to achieve: It is the stated intention of Grace In House Prison Ministry Trust that we will do everything possible to facilitate much improved conditions in the penal system of this nation and we will supply to every inmate the methods needed to enable their early release from prison, so when they have completed one third of sentence time, as is their constitutional right and due reward for compliance within the requirements of punishment as administered by the Corrections Department, they have paid in full their debt to society and so are able to return to normal life again. There is a new sound a'coming down the cold corridors, weaving between the bars, softening the jangling of keys and the sound of weeping. It is the sound of bold and brave music to the beat of another drum to sweep away the old, to herald in the new. It is the sound of freedom. Come, join us as we stand together, united in the presence of Jesus - where we gather in His name He is with us with the promise that those who believe shall never be forsaken; that the chains shall be broken, that the captives be set free. We shall not rest until it is done. Amen.

We share our dedication to bring about much needed change to a most archaic, regressive and detrimental facility within our society that ignores the needs of the individual and neglects the basic human dignities that separate us from the animal kingdom. Such a broken down monolith as this does not resolve anti social behaviour because it cannot afford to, nor does it contribute in any meaningful way to rehabilitation, reintegration or reasonably acceptable reasons for its blighted existence other than to cost taxpayers $100,000 per inmate each year when that same money could be used to support other community groups with an investment in the health and well being of our citizens. Definitive logic maintains that lengthy incarceration decreases our association skills and the corresponding breakdown in communication leads to more abrasive and troubled behaviour than it resolves. The same logic supports the community sentences that contribute to, rather than cost the national economy - restrictive home detention where the father or mother of a family are not separated and their contributions to local projects give a sense of achievement and of work well done, a situation respected and certainly not abused by those who may face the alternative of jail time if they do. Then twenty large accommodation facilities with kitchens, beds and many with plenty of farm land can be used as a place for the homeless in our cities to live in the environment of the Second Commandment, disadvantaged young people given trade and social interaction skills, earning a living in a self supporting and kindred environment, growing vegetables and supplying them to local markets; learning to be in charge of their lives again, refreshed by communal life to return to the city after a time of involvement with something worthwhile and meaningful to give family and friends once more.

As reasonable, definitive logic is not a part of our politics in New Zealand, we so called ordinary people must battle on and do the best we can under a crippling and at times immoral system, doing all that is possible to keep our families fed and happy, the wolf from the door and a car in the shed; decent honest Kiwis who will go the extra mile for one another and not expect a lot in return. This is the national spirit by which we can now bring back our loved ones from their dark season to restore them to the arms of family and friends again, a victory to rejoice.

Please support us: We invite your support as an individual or company to establish and to maintain the Buddy Support Fellowship in prisons with a charitable donation, no matter how big or small, so that together we can save lives, restoring families as we prepare inmates for their return to society. Our Reintegration Services arrange for temporary accommodation where needed and we have contacts useful in the industrial sector for finding employment to have an income once again. Prisoners do not receive a benefit and their partners and families struggle to make ends meet (to travel for a visit is more expensive than most can manage) so we assist with petrol costs and pay money from our Kiwibank Grace Ministries charity account into their own PRN personal accounts so they can buy phone cards, writing and artwork materials, items of personal use such as underwear, socks, pajamas, radios, TVs (can be paid off) - little things that do mean so much. All contributions are put to most effective use to buy the appropriate books and literature for the holistic healing program as managed by the inmates themselves, to build communication with families in the outside world who want to write and offer their support and comfort. So much interest among our church fellowship to become involved - a most heartening response. Your name and contribution will be recognised on this website. This will be regularly updated so as to inform you of the progress and achievements of our work. Call our number 0276780867 for details of how to join us. May God bless you for your charity.

Faith - Hope - Charity - Together we can make a difference.

Jack Gielen, Gloria Bridgeman and Kerry Bevan - Principal Directors, Grace In House Prison Ministry Trust 2013

More About The Problem
We encourage your support for the work of our Grace In House Ministry Trust social reformation campaign that we are promoting throughout New Zealand; a holistic healing programme within the penal system, and from there throughout society - a programme that is having remarkable success in Austria and Sweden and recently Australia and most heartening results are already being achieved here. Our trust has an agenda to harness the collective identity of New Zealanders in a practical working merger of Christian charity and the Kiwi spirit to get things done; to overcome any and all obstacles together and resolve the problems that affect us as a nation.

The cost of violence and crime: We face a massive problem here and no longer can we afford apathy or the "she'll be right - somebody else will fix it" attitude. Our evening news reflects a country reeling under the onslaughts of a battle raging out of control that threatens to destroy our families, our economy, our Kiwi way of life. These are almost impossible numbers to be reconciled with. Crime and violence cost this national economy almost seven billion dollars last year - 3.9 billion paid for by the taxpayer; one and a half million families who should have had that money in the bank in provision for their own needs and purposes; money that should have been used for educating our young to prevent them being drawn down into this dark, spiralling vortex of addictions and criminal behaviour that is desecrating and taking so many innocent lives. We are now using some of this money in our concerted attempts to resolve a situation that worsens every day as Police, Corrections, Justice, hospitals and associated support agencies join together in a losing battle. In all indications obvious to the observer this is a battle that leads us to a state of civil war. Addictions to alcohol and drugs of demonic purpose, callous family violence where pure hatred is a shocking revelation in the lives of those who have no hope in their future; children who don't know who their parents are any more; homeless, desolate, deprived, angry, lonely - here in New Zealand?

Dealing with the issues: Prisons are now being used as boot camps with a specific curriculum to resolve addictions and those issues that stem from dysfunctional upbringing - anger management, grief trauma and reinforcement of parenting roles and skills, all carried through under the confirmation of the Second Commandment - to treat one another in the way we wish to be treated ourselves. Supportive funding provides specific books, training manuals and associated proven methods of self improvement that inmates use in their own time and assemble once a day to discuss their progress in an atmosphere of competition to do the best they can and being awarded privileges by staff who are grateful to see them working towards their parole.

The inadequacy of the existing system: It is a glaring anomaly in Corrections that though they have the responsibility under the laws of this land to provide these very same materials for inmates to be eligible for a parole hearing after serving one third of their sentence, because of underfunding and the lack of trained personnel to manage courses, facilities ARE NOT PROVIDED AT ALL so the constitutional rights of prisoners in this country are being denied - a blatant neglect of duty and a criminal offence liable to prosecution. This is understandably the compounding factor creating so many tensions in our penal system and the cause of much frustration, anger and confrontations that lead to assaults and the extended sentences that follow. In fact this whole system is an utter shambles that defeats its own purpose as a supposed reformation service, instead transforming good men and women into anti-authoritarian and antisocial misfits who leave prison with an even greater affinity to criminal lifestyles because they simply just do not give a damn any more. HERE IN NEW ZEALAND!!!!

Our mission of transformation: No, not this New Zealand that we want to raise our children in. We are starting on a journey where we hope you will join us as we begin our mission of transformation to facilitate the changes needed to bring us back from the brink of a fate worse than the loss of freedom; to stand tall with us as we break the shackles of political indifference that hold us captive. To begin a new chapter in the history of a brave, young country where the sun rises first; where together we climb the highest mountain and embrace each other on the beaches sharing our tears because we could not save that one last whale; loyal people who will go the extra mile and have the door open always for a friend; good family people who are known as Kiwis and who the world is going to be seeing a lot more of very soon on television as we confront and overcome the systems which seek to defeat us with a power that we call Grace. Our Trust Directors will be addressing the 1500 inmates of Rimutaka Prison, with coverage by Maori Television, to proactively promote this programme throughout all other prisons of our nation. This has been in operation there for seven weeks now and has been immediately taken up by the inmates of Upper Wings One and Two who are holding get together meetings to monitor their effects and are progressing really well with their education. It is just such a big achievement for us all, so deeply rewarding to see them doing so much there in such a short time. When this documentary goes to air on Te Karere we will notify management at the other prisons in advance so that their inmates can be made aware of what is happening. Then we can be putting everything in place for their own holistic healing programme, thus speeding up the installation of this vital service.

Last year 14 inmates took their lives while in prison, many in the first week due to the lack of services for parole. To feel abandoned by family and friends is surely a hard enough burden to bear but to know there is no way of being released when you are entitled to is the last straw which breaks the spirit of too many wonderful, and all too often innocent young Maori men and women who have lost mana in a cold, uncaring monolith of broken promises and dreams.

Establishing the healing remedy: Time is short and there is much to do but with enough hands to uphold the true virtues of dignity and compassion, joined together in fellowship with our prayers for victory, we will be triumphant. When this compounded healing remedy is firmly established our Directors and all Trust members (who number two fifty seven - including Christian families and community supporters in all main cities) will move to the next stage of community restoration, that of establishing alcohol and drug awareness campaigns, with associated rehabilitation for the young ones already showing signs of addiction, in all of our secondary schools, colleges and universities throughout the country. Supportive funding is used for travel expenses for our trust members, most of whom are on only limited incomes but give their service so willingly, and to purchase study materials for the inmates parole eligibility. They often have accrued debts that their partners and extended family have to repay and have no benefit themselves for support.

What your donations can help us achieve: A $1000 donation allows for $20 a week per annum - enough for two phone cards and to pay for a radio and the personal items we so often take for granted. $3000 supplies all holistic healing material to provide an entire Wing Unit at the Arohata Women's Prison so the fifty mothers and partners there will be paroled when their time is due. Contributions can be made at any Kiwibank branch into the Grace Ministries Charity account . Please call us on DigiSatComm 0221882402 for account details. Our nationwide promotion of the Second Commandment virtues we so strongly believe in will in time and application stem and reverse this tide of unchecked crime and violence that is crippling this beautiful country, our God's Little Acre. As a contributor towards this vital, humanitarian enterprise you and your company will receive due recognition on this website, updated every week to record our every success.

Faith - Hope - Charity - Together we can make a difference.
