What an amazing conversation between David Vaka and Paul Botha when David asked Paul questions related to his role as part of ICAL (International Coalition of Apostolic Leaders) and as Convenor of ACAL (Australian Coalition of Apostolic Leaders)

I watched the replay of David Vaka and Paul Botha

In fact, on my mobile in our camper trailer, Rowena Tutauha watched the replay on her mobile.

We thank the late John McElroy for teaching us to be apostolic-configured Christians.

What made the content awesome was your conversational approach, your friendship and the questions garnered from David. To me, questions are the answer. Great questions require great answers, which you both articulated with the viewers in mind.

Paul - absolutely amazing answers to all those questions, and WOW

In fact, from the time we attended the ROAR Leaders Summit and reading your book, David, it is an incredible conversation with so much to be unpacked.

An NZ is saying, “Repetition is the mother of skill!” I’ve watched the replay 4 times now … I even started taking notes.

I finally get what John McElroy was trying to teach me. I miss him, and now the Lord has clearly given you both such an honest, authentic anointing where friendship before function oozes in your conversations, and that is special.

Paul - the depth of your relationship with ICAL leaders are gems that permeated in the way you answered David’s questions.

And at the end of your conversation, David asked you to share closing comments, and that just blew me away.

There’s so much in one conversation- from What is an Apostle, What is Apostolic Reformation, Eschatology, and I agree with you, Paul (hold on Lord don’t come back yet!) the relationship between ICAL & ACAL - The relationship between Apostles and Prophets…

Definitely want a Land Cruiser now - time to retire the Ford Wildtrak…I finally get that the Kingdom covers the church and the marketplace as one.

Now I am on a mission to tell others to be honest, humble and hungry for this move that stretches, challenges and being out of our comfort zones are our norm.

My years of training in sales and marketing, studying under the Australian Institute of Company Directors and Kingdom Initiatives, Bobby Aitken, Wez Hone, David Balestri and Pedro Adao have been resourceful.

I’ve reached out to Nate Johnston, another man of God I follow.

And many more- and now in our 70’s our new season in the Caravan and Camping Industry as Grey Nomads Who Love Jesus where the REST of our lives will be the BEST of our lives.

You never know, we might turn up at an event in the near future.

Amen
