New Zealand is amazing for living but awful for dying.
Why? New Zealand is the world’s top country for work-life balance but most of its people are irreligious with no hope for eternity.
A study by McCrindle Research discovered a third of the population knows very little or nothing about Jesus. Fewer than 10 percent attend church with any regularity. At the same time, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are growing rapidly thanks to high levels of immigration from countries like India and China. New Zealand is where unreached people groups intersect with unmatched freedom to evangelize in English.
A small resurgence of church planting is already gaining momentum. ABWE is responding to a call for more workers, basing a team on the North Island to accelerate growth. If you have interest in using creative platforms to declare the good news of Christ – from adventure sports to English as a Second Language to music to Kids’ Clubs, mothers’ groups, and more – then why not be part of multiplying new churches in New Zealand?
