Partnering for a Christian College in Wellington

Kia ora, Natalya ahau.

This has always been an ambitious project, so a couple of years ago, we joined with Peniel Trust (the land trust for Miramar Christian School) in Wellington, as well as other trusts from around the country with a similar vision- the NZCPT, the CST in Te Waipounamu/ South Island, and the CET in Te Ika-a-Māui/ North Island. This gave rise to a special project group, the WCEP, which has been headed up by the experienced Mark Larson. He has brought passion and wisdom, as well as experience to this role.

We are now heading into the point end of things, and it is getting both more exciting and more difficult. Tonight we have our first public meeting regarding this site, and I must admit, I am quite excited. We are so much further along than we have previously been able to get, and we are constantly moving closer to our goal. It has been a real adventure in coming together in Christ, and it is really great working with one another in unity. It hasn’t always been easy, and there have been times when we have all had to put ourselves aside, but the difference is knowing what we share is bigger than what we don’t, that we want to work things out.

So I invite you to join the new year with us, working together. And I encourage you to look at what God has for you, for the things you are hoping for and have not yet seen, and have a wonderful Advent.
