Gather to Scatter — Shaping Hearts and Minds for Global Mission
NZCMS is a rich community of people from many diverse backgrounds, ages and experiences — from young students exploring the big questions to middle-aged couples with young children to returned Mission Partners continuing to serve God’s mission in Aotearoa. We edify each other, unified in our diversity. We celebrate you, our NZCMS whānau.
Over the past year we’ve been working away quietly in the background, planning ways to invite and send a whole new wave of Mission Partners to serve God. One of the ways we’ve decided to do this is to run an event called “Gather to Scatter”. This is for those who are seriously considering serving in global mission.
You may feel called to lead a short-term team from your church. Or perhaps you’ve been invited to serve on a project in an overseas community. Maybe long-term global mission has been on your heart since you were a child
Wherever you fit in this discernment journey, Gather to Scatter welcomes you to join other like-minded mission passionate people in a weekend of encouragement, experience, discernment and prayer.

Are you Seriously Interested in Mission?
You might know that you want to serve in global mission one day. But what do you do in the interim? Who can you talk to about it? How do you prepare? NZCMS has launched two small groups for those seriously interested in mission. They aim to bring like-minded people together to learn, encourage and grow in their calling into global mission. We are now running these groups in Wellington and Christchurch and we’d love to have you!
