Church Planting in Auckland, New ZealandAuckland, New Zealand Ripe for Harvest: Church Planter & Family Make PlansNew Zealand, a small island nation 1300 miles south east of Australia, is a land of incredible beauty and contrast. From rain forests to glaciers, sparkling beaches to lonely desert, volcanic mountains to native bush, bubbling thermal mud pools to boiling surf beaches and untamed coastline with acre upon acre of beautiful farmland, this land is known affectionately by locals as “God-zone.” Yet God is hardly known and rarely worshipped there. In fact, only 11% of the 4.4 million peo-ple in New Zealand attend any type of church at all.

According to the 2013 census, the number of New Zealanders who claim at least one religion has continued to decline:

• The fastest growing religious category is “No Religion.”

• More than 50% claim no religion.

• The number of Christians continues to decrease (Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah’s Witnesses are all included in this Christian cat-egory).

• Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh and New-Age have dramatically increased.

The Restoration Movement has only a

small presence in New Zealand, main-ly under a governing body called The Associated Churches of Christ (also known as The Christian Churches of New Zealand). The Association owns the land and buildings and has some influence within local churches. There are only three independent Christian Churches in the country: Mataura Church of Christ is a small country church that extricated itself from the Association after years of concern. In recent years, South Pacific Chris-tian Fellowship (SPCF) has planted ReChurch in Christchurch and Shore Community Church in Auckland. ReChurch and Shore are both grow-ing effective churches. Shore is today completely led by New Zealanders, which is the ultimate goal of SPCF church planting.

SPCF is today a church planting orga-nization, but has long been sending workers from America to New Zealand. During the 70’s and 80’s, they primar-ily sent ministers to work within the established Associated Churches of Christ. Several of those ministers worked with the Mairangi (My-Rang ee) Bay Church of Christ in Auckland where a young girl was growing up in a non-Christian home. Cindy Boyd,

an American working with her hus-band Darrel, wanted to reach out to the young girls in the community. She began offering knitting classes at her home on Thursday afternoons where she shared an amazing American treat, grape KoolAid!

What can God do with grape KoolAid and knitting needles? In the hands of a faithful servant, a great deal! Thanks to the efforts of Daryl and Cindy Boyd and others, including a wonderful St. Louis Christian College professor, Keith McCaslin, 3 young people from this congregation and 5 from other congregations around New Zealand went to Bible College in the late 1980’s. One of those students was Rosalind Jones..cont, pg 3

Original Music Grows out of Faith CommunityArea 10 Faith Community aims to cre-ate an environment on Sunday morn-ings that helps people to encounter God and respond to His calling on their lives. Area 10’s band, River City Hym-nal, is aiming to do the same with their first full-length album, due to come out this summer.

“We are trying to write songs that con-nect people to God in meaningful and substantive ways. These songs were birthed out of our church and the lives of the people around us. For me, this is my first season of songwriting after my father’s death and after becoming a father myself. A lot of the album wres-tles with the idea of the legacy and kind of faith I want to leave my kids,” says Tommy Moore, Area 10’s Creative Arts Pastor.

While most of the songs on the album are originals, the band also composed a modern arrangement of the hymn, The Love of God. “In almost every album I’ve recorded, I’ve made room for fresh

arrangements of hymns. These songs have lasted for generations, and most of the time it is because they have a lot of depth and character both musically and lyrically. The Love of God is really a beautiful song,” says Moore.

If you are a fan of bands like Tom Petty, Gungor, or John Mark McMillan, be sure to check out River City Hymnal and their new album coming out in the next few months. You can find their first EP on iTunes, and follow the latest news about their upcoming album on Face-book, Twitter, and Instagram. If you are interested in having them come play at your church or event, email Tommy at tommy@area10church.com.

...the young girl who still can’t knit, but loves the smell of grape KoolAid and more than that loves the Word of God that was taught to her on Thursday afternoons. Rosalind went to St. Louis Christian College where she met her fu-ture husband, Michael Trusty, whose story was very like her own.

Like Rosalind, Michael was raised in a non-Christian home but came to know Christ through an invitation to VBS by a Sunday School teacher. While Keith McCaslin was taking preaching trips to New Zealand, his son Walter McCaslin was the youth minister at an Indiana church where Michael attended. Walter promised Michael that if he gave one year of his life to God at Bible College, it would not be wasted. Michael liked that kind of guarantee and in the fall of 1989 he and Rosalind both entered St. Louis Christian College.

Since graduation, the Trustys have ministered in Alaska, New Zealand, Atlantic Canada and Indiana.

Michael, Rosalind and their three children, Charis (14), Micah (12) and Josiah (10) will be partnering with SPCF to help plant a church in New Zealand. The Trustys love the Kiwi people (New Zealanders call themselves Kiwis) and culture. Their passion and desire is to bring the gospel to people who so desperately need to hear it.

New Zealanders are a friendly, tolerant, inventive people who have a ‘can-do’ attitude. They are incredibly self-reli-ant, tending to take care of problems on their own without asking for help, and they accept what happens in life with a fatalistic attitude. They embrace the outdoors and love to spend time with one another. New Zealand is a very com-fortable place to live with low crime and little poverty.

However, this physical comfort has led to a spiritual apathy which means that the church and God have very little value for them. New Zealand is a post-Christian culture, highly secular, and very far from God. While they are not confron-tational towards those who say they follow God, they are indifferent to a need for God in their own lives. The church-es have such an insignificant influence that the majority of the people under 50 years old do not even have a church background to call upon. Therefore, many Kiwis have no-where to turn for answers when life gets tough.

The 2006 census showed that 43% of children ages 0-14 claimed no religion, and that number has only increased. This is a heartbreaking statistic for the Trustys who have seen the difference that can be made in the lives of chil-dren when they are presented with the truth of God’s Word and a little grape KoolAid! So it is truly exciting for us to be part of the church planting that the VEF is doing through ICOM in 2015!

The New Zealand plant is one of our seven locations for the new churches we are planting alongside the

2015 ICOM Conference in Richmond, VA. For more information on the other churches we are

. . . a n d s e n d i n g t h e m o u tVEF hosts first Assessment for Church PlantersIn March the VEF partnered with three other Church Planting Organi-zations (CEA - Seattle, Nexus - Dallas, South Pacific) to host a 3-day assess-ment center for 4 couples being considered as potential church plant-ing leaders. One of our own church plants, Lake Christian Church near Charlottesville, graciously served as the host venue for the week. Their gift for hospitality was evident to all!

Couples travelled to Virginia from North Carolina, Indiana and Missouri. Assessment Centers like this one evaluate couples based on 15 different categories pertinent to the church planting task. Couples also complete psychological, emotional and rela-tional testing prior to attending and meet with a counseling team during the week as well.

The assessing team is made up of men and women, ministers and Christian business leaders, counselors and church planting

experts. By week’s end the team gathers enough insight about each of the couples to make one of 3 recommendations: Don’t Plant, Not Yet, or You’re Ready to Go!

Within this partnership the VEF is able to send prospective planting couples to an assessment in Texas or Washington State depending on the time of year the assessment is needed. We’re looking forward to hosting our next assessment center next spring and each year thereafter. If you know of a prospective church planting couple who needs to go through this kind of assessment, contact the VEF for more info.

Mobile Giving is Coming to your Church. Are you ready?Over the past 5-7 years, churches have begun to include online giving as a growing part of the regular contribu-tions they receive from their members. Many of our recent church plants are receiving more than 50% of their monthly donations using online av-enues. Your church should be actively strategizing on ways to capitalize on this emerging trend in our online world.

The newest thing on the block is the emerging shift to mobile online giving. Morgan Stanley recently reported that during the 2014 calendar year the number of mobile devices will exceed the number of desktop and laptop personal computers worldwide for the first time ever. The first huge implica-tion for this trend is that your church needs to have a mobile web presence, not just a desktop version. That means a website that’s optimized for viewing from a smart phone or tablet device. Very soon more people will view your

church’s website from one of these smaller platforms than from their ‘old school’ desktops and laptops.

The second huge trend that is gain-ing attention is the capability to make contributions from smart phones and tablets. In just the past couple of years, we have become comfortable paying for things from our mobile devices. We are paying for pizza, Redbox, Ebay, and many others from a growing array of goods and services once obtained only by cash or check. The same is true for your church. Soon you will need to have a smooth, simple process for people to contribute from a mobile device.

Here are some ideas to help you start the process:

1. Align your online and mobile provid-ers so those who are giving need to become familiar with only one service.

2. Use a special event that usually prompts giving to “prime the pump”

for future mobile giving. Have them contribute during church to a short term mission trip or special local out-reach event.

3. Refer to the mobile option often. Saying it only one time guarantees that it won’t take off. Mention this new feature at least once a month, or more. Tell your new people during your membership class about all the ways they can give at your church.

If you don’t know where to start, check with your current church database or website provider about the options they already provide. Call Tim Cole (804-690-7919) at the VEF for advice on where to look.

Online giving to the VEF is easy and secure. Just go to www.vef.cc and click “Donate Now.” The next screen will provide easy instructions. And our mobile option will be available early this summer.

Easter NumbersThe numbers are officially in!

Collectively, we saw an amazing 11,751 individuals gather in our church plants this past Easter!

Even more amazing, in these churches there were 53 new

believers were baptized into Christ on Easter morning.

We are so thankful for the hard work of the church planters,

their staff, and volunteers, who tirelessly bring more and more people into a relationship with

Jesus Christ.
