Mission Adventures

2009-09-06T08:20:00.003+12:00

If you are looking for a relaxing, hygienic and comfortable overseas adventure, Southeast Asia is NOT the place to come. But if you're looking to make a life-changing impact, why not give one of our missions to Cambodia, Thailand or Bali a whirl?

This is where you will get a real chance to bring hope to orphans, widow, the homeless and the poor. You will experience familites trying to live on a few dollars a day, and possibly meet those who will be desperate for your help. Your practical skills, your education and your ability to love others will be put to constant use.

The cheeky smiles, genuine relationships and insanely good food that you will find in any of these countries will more than make up for the mosquito bites and the constant sweating. You can experience all this from just NZ$2450. Check out our website—http:/www.missionadventures.co.nz—for more info.

Southeast Asia—it would be awesome to see you there!

40 Hour Famine

2009-05-13T09:49:00.001+12:00

What is the Famine?

The World Vision 40 Hour Famine is New Zealand's most popular youth fundraising event. Originating in 1975 in response to the immense famine in Ethiopia, 10,000 New Zealanders united together to raise $265,000. 34 years later it's become part of New Zealand youth culture with over 120,000 participating each year.

Who does it?

Anyone can do it! If your school, church group, social group, work, family is already doing it then join in with them, or maybe you could get them started? If you’re not part of a group doing the Famine then sign up as an ‘individual’.

What does a Famine participant do?

Participants ask people to sponsor them for doing, or doing without, something they will find difficult for up to 40 hours.

Fair Trade Fortnight, Australia and New Zealand's biggest annual celebration of all things fair trade, is on again between 2 - 17 May 2009.

With a range of events and activities happening across both countries, there's never been a better time to get involved in helping to tackle poverty and empower producers in developing countries, simply by choosing fair trade and Fairtrade Labelled products.

So this Fair Trade Fortnight why not Taste it, Try it, Join it, and most of all Choose it!

Make it Happen. Choose Fairtrade.

DISTURBING NORM

Hey Youth Crew,

Firstly a huge thumbs up for making it through another year of youth ministry. We take our hats off to you all. There's so many amazing things happening in youth ministry in The Salvation Army in New Zealand - we count it a real privilege to be involved in what God is doing.

TYMC is an important weekend to get together, share ideas, be encouraged, learn some new stuff, realise that we're not alone, and receive a fresh touch from God. TYMC is open to everyone working with and on behalf of youth, whether full time, part time or on a volunteer basis. We hope you’ll be there; the weekend won’t be the same without you!

The title of TYMC this year is "Disturbing Norm". Youth ministry has always had a reputation for being innovative, edgy and boundary-pushing, and we don't want this to change. In fact, at TYMC we want to take some time to listen to people who are disturbing the norm, and get a sense of how and where God wants to disturb our norms - both in ourselves and in the ministries He has entrusted to us.

Enough said. Come join us and Norm and a whole bunch of others in youth ministry for a great weekend at Living Springs. Cut-off date for registrations is Monday 15th June:)

Grace,
Rebecca, Leslie and the Youth Mission Team

Mark it in your diaries (4-6 July at Living Springs, Christchurch) and register at http://www.firezone.co.nz/tymcinfo.html
