‘MotiVate’ is the New Zealand office of Missionary Ventures – a non-denominational global family of Christians, bound together by our love for God and our commitment to reaching the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Billions around the world lack a life-transforming relationship with Jesus, trapped in poverty, limited education, spiritual oppression, and a shortage of godly leaders. Many have no access to a disciple-making community or anyone to share the Good News in word and action.
While Christianity is expanding rapidly in many regions, mission church growth is outpacing the development of trained leaders and sustainable discipleship pathways, creating a bottleneck that threatens spiritual depth, healthy community transformation, and the long-term impact of the Gospel.

We are looking forward to welcoming the team and facilitating connection with churches, communities, schools, and ministry opportunities here in New Zealand.
There is a growing conversation about opportunities to minister beyond Auckland, including in the north, where local churches and communities are considering how this visit could encourage, strengthen, and bless their people and the region.
Please pray for Willy, the team, and the planning that is now underway for this trip. Pray for the right ministry opportunities, relationships, safe travel, spiritual protection, and for many lives to be encouraged through their visit.

Over two decades, MotiVate has helped connect New Zealand churches, schools, supporters, leaders, mission partners, and communities with the wider global mission of Missionary Ventures family.
This anniversary weekend will be an opportunity to remember God’s faithfulness, honour those who have served and supported the ministry, reconnect with friends and partners, and look ahead to the next season.
More details will follow, but for now we invite you to mark the weekend in your calendar and begin planning to join us.
AsOne NZ - The Church. United. As One

The message is simple and timely:
The Church. United. As One.
Now is the time to let your church leaders, ministry teams, youth leaders, worship teams, small groups, and wider church family know about this event.
We believe this is a significant opportunity for the Christian community of New Zealand to gather across denominations, cultures, generations, and regions, around Jesus Christ.
Please begin praying for AsOne, for the organisers, for churches across the country, and for a spirit of humility, unity, repentance, worship, and renewed mission across New Zealand.
