Introducing New NZCMS Board Member

The Rev. Claude Fong Toy has been appoin­ted to the NZCMS Board.

Claude is cur­rently the Vicar of St Eliza­beth Parish of Clendon, Auck­land, having com­pleted his B. Theo­logy through Otago while at St John’s College in Auck­land in 2021.

Claude and his wife Mila have been in full-time church min­istry since 2000. Claude has been ordained for 17 years as an Anglican Min­is­ter in the Diocese of Poly­ne­sia, Fiji, includ­ing time as the Dean of the Holy Trinity Cathed­ral in Suva. Mila has been a mis­sion­ary in Vanuatu and trained in evan­gel­ism under the Evan­gel­ism Explo­sion min­istry in Fiji.

Claude states he ‘loves Jesus, people, scrip­tures, church and nature.’ He sees himself as ‘solu­tion-focused and a forward mover’.

The Board are delighted that Claude has accep­ted an invit­a­tion to join the Board, and the rep­res­ent­a­tion he will bring to promote the gospel through­out the Pacific region.

Bless­ings,
Graeme Mitchell, Chair, NZCMS Board
