Did you know Mosaic, our youth-work mission unit in Taranaki has been piloting a leadership development program? The Young Leaders Missional Internship.  As a part of this program we seek to help our developing young leaders participate in a cross cultural exposure and education experience.

We have been working with NZCMS, Anglican Mis­sions, and the Diocese of Poly­ne­sia to arrange for two of our YLMI interns, with addi­tional support from two of our young leaders to visit Fiji for 10 days at the end of Novem­ber as a part of this process.

This trip will help them assess the way their theo­logy is formed and shaped by the culture they have been raised in, will help them under­stand in new ways the work of the Anglican church around our province, they will see first hand the work of our key part­ners NZCMS and Anglican Missions.

While we are well on our way to meeting our funding goals for this trip, we still need some more help!

We know many of you and your par­ishes are pas­sion­ate about mission work, and would love to see the next gen­er­a­tion get excited about this too. Would you or your parish con­sider a dona­tion towards making this trip pos­sible? We hope that this may be the first of many ways we con­tinue to raise a gen­er­a­tion of young people excited about serving the global church.
