Relationships are very important to us: we want to meet you face to face! Questions of partnership are also central, so we would love to know about your church, your leadership, and discuss who you will be accountable to — both here in New Zealand, and overseas.

We’ll also take time to discern the kind of mission involvement that you feel called to. With NZCMS, Mission Partners can either be short-term (less than a year) or longer-term (more than a year).

The care and wellbeing of any prospective Mission Partner is always uppermost in our considerations, so we take a holistic approach as we discuss what global missions service might look like for you. Joining NZCMS is joining a family.

Our process involves four main steps:

We each commit time to prayer, handing the details over to God and seeking Holy Spirit’s wisdom. If we both have a sense of agreement to continue the process, you can then complete our application papers. We require Police Clearance and other checks to make sure you’re healthy and equipped to be a Mission Partner.
