They travel around Australasia as itinerant ministers - now Sue and Greg Biddell are back in Rotorua to share their story and Christian message.

Mr Biddell has written more than 20 books and he and his wife were invited to Rotorua by Mike and Heather Johnson, who organised a combined churches event.

Mrs Biddell will be speaking first - talking about their time as ministers in Papua New Guinea - at the Living Well Church at 5pm tomorrow.

Her husband will speak on Monday and Tuesday at 7.30pm, at the same venue.

Mr Biddell said the couple had visited New Zealand several times.

"Most pastors preside in a church. We travel. We've travelled every week for 20 years."

Mr Biddell, who was left mute after contracting meningitis as a child and was told by speech therapists he would never speak again, focused on speaking about "the God kind of health".

"Everyone wants to be healthy, but in the Bible God has written a code for health."

He focused on the way people's emotions impacted on their health, and Bible passages relating to that.

Mr Biddell has spoken extensively on the topic, including to a range of doctors and even Malaysia's health minister.

He said the talks were open to anyone.

"There is absolutely something for everyone - both persons who go to church and those who don't, because everyone wants to be healthy."

Mr Biddell said the presentation would be "lively" with some life-changing principles.
