New Zealand

New Zealand is amazing for living – the world’s top country for work-life balance – but awful for dying.

Why?

Because most New Zealanders are irreligious with no hope for eternity.

A study by McCrindle Research discovered a third of the population know very little or nothing about Jesus. Less than 10% 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, Mums and Bubs, and more – then why not be part of multiplying new churches in New Zealand?

If you have prior experience in pastoral ministry and want to try church planting, why not New Zealand?
