Farewelling Chris
Chris finished up his role as NZ Director in the middle of April. We were able to bless and thank him with the office staff and presented him with a wooden Koru statue and a card with words of appreciation from Pioneers staff both in NZ and our workers across the globe.
The Koru is a symbol of growth and we know that while we are sad to see him go, this is a time of growth for all of us.
Chris has had such an impact on PINZ and his faithful service over the past 9 years has built a solid foundation for the next season. We are certain he will continue to bring his passion and care for people into his new work role.
Dunedin Missions Event: ENGAGE (May 9)
Suzy travelling recently to Dunedin to represent Pioneers (alongside 9 other organisations) at an event for those exploring what global missions is about. There were workshops, sessions and opportunities for people to ask questions of a range of different agencies and see how God may be speaking to them about being involved in Global Missions. About 40 people attended and it was a fabulous time working together to share the vision of missions. Pray for those who attended to take the next steps that God is inviting them into - whether that be to go, give, pray, support etc.
Board Meeting
The next Boarding Meeting will be 22-23 May. The board has been working hard in this transition time and meeting often in the search process for a new director. Keep praying for them during this time.
Stephanie has arrived in North Africa and is settling into language study and her new home. She is sharing a flat with two Mexican ladies and their common language is the one they are studying! Pray for wisdom and strength and good understanding.
