Life south moves to the Dream Centre

This week I went with Fritz (husband) to our corporate Life church prayer meeting at the Dream Centre which was called by the senior pastors to a location which was once the Village 6/8 cinema's developed in the 1980s before it was converted into the Dream Centre around the late 2000s (a little different from the one in USA).

It brought back memories of when I was a high school teacher and would take students to view the movies as a treat or I'd go there myself with friends and family members. Now parts of the movie theatre has run down and in dire need of repair and refurbishment.

As I understand it, Life church senior pastors were approached to see if there was interest in buying the complex. With its central South Auckland location, close proximity to the highways for easy access it seems to be a God plan. At the prayer meeting we were able to go through the complex and pray in the different rooms. We were able to also see the future plans for the complex with the move in date proposed for next year in May when annual church conference opens and if things go according to plan.

In terms of church locations, there area a number of churches who have located themselves within the central Manukau centre within 5 mins driving range of each other i.e. the Morman complex on the hill, Destiny church, Manukau city baptist church and all very close to the Vector Arena events centre, Eateries and Rainbows End fun park.

I think the difference that Life South church will bring is in its vision to put $20 million into supporting local communities in the way of support services as the church encourages business development and a philosophy of helping out and supporting local community development.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things plan out and will certainly miss the current Mangere location which is only a 10 min drive down the road to church but with an amazing opportunity like this, there is much to look forward to...
