Help us spread the news:

           

This is where it all began. Birthed within our local churches, Servants now has a rich and diverse heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand, with membership spanning all generations. Twenty-six years of living among Asia's urban poor has not only informed the nature of our involvement in Asia, but has also shaped expressions of the kingdom here 'at home'. In relationship with local churches and intentional Christian communities, Servants has shaped and been shaped by those seeking to follow Christ's call to costly discipleship within NZ. Around thirty people are part of the NZ team with many more in a looser network of partners and fellow travellers inspired by Jesus' journey to the poor.

The purpose of the Servants NZ office is to support and encourage Kiwis working with Servants teams in Asia, and to be an advocate for the needs of their urban poor neighbours. We are also committed to promoting the Servants principles and values within our own contexts, seeking to encourage intentional Christian communities among the poor in NZ.
