Kia Ora Susan. David is correct, this man was not a Covenant breaker at that time. He may well have become a Covenant breaker later on but at that time when he was residing in New Zealand and Australia, he was not. To be honest I have forgotten his name. I think it was around 1951 that the Guardain was writings to him.
New Zealand never had a Covenant breaker until in very recent years. This was a woman who came from England and Infected a New Zeland woman. I am sure she has gone back to England. I have no idea what happened to the New Zealand resident.. For all I know she has also left the country.
