Initiatives
Our heart is to see the Good News of Jesus, and the life transformation He brings, spread among all the peoples.
Our ministry initiatives provide a framework for our missionary activity.
Through personal relationships, intentional projects and strategic ministries, we can achieve maximum impact on lives for the glory of God’s Kingdom!
Stories from the Mission Field
Be encouraged and inspired as you read our stories of lives transformed through the power of God’s love, and ask Him to show you how you can be personally involved – through your prayers, financial support or by serving in New Zealand or overseas.
