Mission Partners

Our Mission Part­ners serve in a variety of loc­a­tions around the world. They work under the author­ity of a local church, and seek to build deep rela­tion­ships with their com­munit­ies. Equipped and sup­por­ted by the NZCMS staff and a team of sup­port­ers, each of our Part­ners serves with the unique com­bin­a­tion of pas­sions, skills, and exper­i­ence that they hold.
