It has been a real privilege to meet with 27 of our alumni so far and I have loved all of the nuggets of wisdom, great laughs, and even a few tears, remembering the joys and hard things on mission. Each interview has been a unique opportunity to learn from those who have dedicated their lives to serving others in the name of Christ abroad and here in New Zealand.

The insights and lessons shared by our alumni are incredibly valuable, not only for those of us working in ministry, but for anyone seeking to deepen their faith and understanding of God's work in the world. Their stories remind us of the power of service, the importance of mission being a vehicle for what God wants to do through you and to you, and the hope that can be found even in the darkest of circumstances.

Tho the primary use for these videos will be fore mobilisation, we are excited to continue sharing snippets of these stories with you here in Connect. We hope that you will find them as encouraging as we have. We believe that these stories have the power to inspire and challenge us to greater levels of service and faith.

Thank you for your continued support of Pioneers NZ and our mission to share the love of Christ and his transforming power with the World and in doing so inspire faith back here in New Zealand. We look forward to sharing more stories with you soon.

Blessings
