Global Outreach
At St Peters Church we partner with a number of people around the world to bring the love of God and the Good News of Jesus to people.
We are committed to support Marine Reach Tauranga in their vision to take the Gospel to the South Pacific through their ship 'Pacific Hope'. Many of our members have been involved in overseas and ship missions before, from long term missionaries, to short term medical workers who give just a couple of weeks every couple of years. One of our members, Robert Atkins, works for YWAM Medical Ships NZ full time, so you can talk more to him about this work.
We would like to encourage you to pray for the Missionaries we support, to give as you are able, to support their work, and perhaps to get your toes wet on a short-term Missions experience yourself. Please follow the links to see our prayer updates.
In 2017 our Youth Missions Team returned to the Philippines where we support several Mission activites.
- Ric and Louie Mendoza, church planters in the slums of Manila.
- Danny and Lily Besoro, church planters on the Island on Mindoro in the Philippines, working with the poorest Mangyan people. Danny and Lily visited us in Feb 2018.
- YWAM Balut, YWAM Mercy Link, and Ruel Foundation in the Philippines. All of these agencies have links with each other and we have been involved in the Philippines for over 15 years.
Other Missions we support are:
- Laurie Sanders in his Mission trips to China.
- Andrew Clark who is involved in Mercy Ships international.
- Partnering with International Needs and their work in Northern India at a children’s home called Sano Diyo. A group of our ladies visited Sano Diyo in 2013, and in 2017 Apana and Prasanna from Sano Diyo visited us
For more information on our missionaries please contact the Chairman of our Missions Committee, Ian Donaldson, 07 571 1176.
