Colonial Hangover or Best Job Ever? The Overseas Mission Question

We are thrilled to welcome Nick and Tessa Laing, NZCMS Mission Part­ners in Uganda, as guest speak­ers at this event. Since 2013, Nick has coordin­ated over 30 Anglican health centers across Gulu, striv­ing to improve health­care access for rural com­munit­ies, while Tessa has been act­ively enga­ging with local com­munit­ies to address justice issues.

During the event, Nick and Tessa will explore the thought-pro­vok­ing topic, “Colo­nial Hangover or Best Job Ever? The Over­seas Mission Question.”

Should more people go over­seas to serve in mission? Are they respond­ing to the needs and invit­a­tions of churches abroad? How might over­seas mission inspire gen­er­os­ity and cre­ativ­ity within the Church here in Aotearoa?

Join us as Nick and Tessa share insights on these ques­tions and more. We look forward to seeing you there!
