WEC AOTEAROA NZ TEAMS

Mobilising

The mobilising team is involved in raising the awareness of cross cultural missions, the needs and the opportunities and the variety of pathways people can take to become a missionary.  Our team is involved in developing strong and healthy relationships with the local church and individuals on the cross-cultural missions journey.  Another important job is equipping the church and individuals for cross cultural ministry through providing workshops and training and offering opportunities to go and serve in NZ and overseas.

 

Membercare

We seek to ensure that all WEC NZ members are well looked after.  Each of us has a need to receive care and support,  which is provided in different ways.  Those who are seeking to help others need to be people characterised by resilience; it is essential for a life of service.  Our team is involved in caring for our members around the world and in NZ,  helping them thrive where God has placed them.

 

Te Pūtahi (Meeting place)

Yes, the nations have come to New Zealand.  The vision of this team is to serve alongside New Zealand churches involved in cross-cultural ministry to encourage immigrants, former refugees, international students and their families into flourishing and contributing communities. WEC is partnering with other agencies to see this vision fulfilled.

Homebase

 

The HOME team oversees the smooth and effective management of accommodation, administration, finance, IT systems, site utilities and structures, health and safety, equipment, and development of the site, in accordance with the strategic direction of the WEC Aotearoa New Zealand.  We are always looking for volunteers to help us especially in the gardens and maintenance areas at our WEC NZ base.
