NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand was once ranked as the fourth largest per capita missionary-sending country in the world. In the years since, this beautiful South Pacific nation has become increasingly post-Christian. Today, only 15 percent of New Zealanders attend church, and 51 percent have no religious beliefs at all. “Zed” is clean, green, egalitarian, and progressive, but it is also a country where the Church needs revitalization, and where people need the hope of Christ. Here, a small team of MTW missionaries is working with and under Grace Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, helping to grow and support the national Presbyterian denomination.

Additionally, MTW teams have been involved with construction, humanitarian relief, and ongoing revitalization work with the Presbyterian Church in Vanuatu. In the Pacific island hub of Fiji, a new team has been launched to plant a church among the island nation's young professionals and arts communities. Throughout the Australasia region, the Reformed Church is stirring, spreading, and changing lives with the grace-driven power of the gospel.
