Missional contextualization means we look at the context and discern how best to speak the gospel in to it.
While the travel shows display Aotearoa New Zealand as a paradise, that’s just a sales pitch. Yes, we have lovely scenery and mountains and coastal areas…… we’re a collection of volcanic islands after all.

We also have embarrassing statistics that might match some of the cities you live in. These can be areas in which God’s people focus healing hope, compassionate care and the good news of the gospel.

Our ministry focuses on outreach via the CHURCH, on the CAMPUSES, and in the COMMUNITY, seeking common ground with everyone for the sake of the gospel for God’s glory.

*Our “known” homeless stats are ridiculously low because of recent law changes in how to count people. The 809 are only the registered homeless. That doesn’t include those living in cars, couch surfing young people whose family homes re unsafe or nonexistent, and those who are not registered.

Moms and dads should spend a good part of their day wondering what they’ll be able to put before their kids for dinner.

Our most vulnerable, our children and elderly, are fearful and stressed. “What is the Church’s response to these situations? What is a gospel response?” These are the questions I ask with each new story I hear.
